Thanks to the allure of buzzing Las Vegas, casino getaways are proving more popular than ever in 2018, with luxury casino hotels across Nevada reporting soaring bookings from high-rolling guests. And, as the trend for online gambling soars, the calibre of players frequenting some of the most iconic casinos in the state does too – with many ensuring they get in plenty of practice in before they play for real. Online casino is becoming a popular secret weapon amongst some of the world’s most successful players – and Nevada is the place to see them in action.
Whilst Las Vegas might be the obvious choice for gamers heading to the area, nowadays, Reno – dubbed ‘the biggest little city in the world’ – is giving Sin City a real run for its money. A mish mash of dazzling neon signs, jingling slot machines and buzzy retro charm, the more family-friendly Reno is alive with excitement and old-school appeal – and best of all, it has some of the best casinos in the USA. Much like Vegas, some of the very finest casinos can be found in lavish, luxury hotel resorts, too – providing the perfect base for an adrenaline-fuelled weekend of gaming, with all the extras you could need for a truly unforgettable stay.
So head online, brush up those gaming skills and get booking your next casino getaway. In Reno, you’ll rub shoulders with some of the best casino players in the world.
