The Nugget is located right off the highway in Sparks. You can't miss the big bright sign. This casino is not located anywhere near the other Reno casinos, so this could be good or bad for you depending on what you are looking for. The Nugget is a nice clean building with great landscaping. The gorgeous pool area and waterfall are definitely the highlights of this property.

We stayed in one of the Courtyard Rooms - nothing really fancy, just pretty basic. There was free WiFi. Access to the gym and pool is included in the room rate. We had a big view of the neon Nugget sign outside of our window which was pretty cool.

Room rates vary depending on the day of week and if any promotions are being offered. Make sure to sign up for a Player's Card as they frequently email you special deals and promotions. Also, check the website for package deals.

Overall, our stay at John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino was pretty fun. We enjoyed playing bingo, using the indoor atrium pool and fitness center, and trying out the Rotisserie Buffet. Although it isn't our favorite resort in Reno, it was a nice change of pace.
