Atlantis Casino Resort Spa

The Atlantis Casino Resort Spa is one of the more upscale and modern casinos in Reno. It's housed in three interconnected glass towers that are brightly lit at night. The resort has a handsome aesthetic, with lots of woodwork, shades gold and brown, and a few bright tropical colors brightening up the look throughout the spacious marble lobby. The luxury spa -- a nice touch when it comes to Reno properties, and one of the Nevada's best -- features lots of cool blues and has Moorish elements, while the fine-dining steakhouse boasts a circular fish tank tower and is well-liked by locals and visitors to town. The indoor atrium pool has a greenhouse feel, with a rock wall, waterfall, and a spacious deck with plants and trees. In warmer months guests can also congregate around the seasonal outdoor pool, though of course the main draw here is the hotel's massive casino. The Atlantis tends to draw well-heeled gamblers and couples looking for a weekend getaway or spa vacation, though its location near the Reno-Sparks Convention Center also draws many convention-goers.

Atlantis Casino Resort Spa is on South Virginia Street, the main Reno thoroughfare, though the hotel's immediate area is less crowded and just slightly removed from most of the other resorts in town. I-580 is just east of the hotel, while the Peppermill Resort is a two-minute drive away. Several other restaurants and shops are within a short walk or drive. The Reno-Sparks Convention Center is a five-minute walk from the hotel, and is directly connected to the hotel by a covered walkway. Meadowood Mall is within a three-minute drive for those needing retail therapy. Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum and the Nevada Museum of Art are both a six-minute trip from the hotel by car. It's an eight-minute drive up Virginia Street to downtown Reno, home to the Reno Arch, Reno Aces Ballpark, Amtrak Station, Reno Events Center, National Automobile Museum, and resorts like the Silver Legacy, Circus Circus, and Eldorado. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is close by as well, just a five-minute drive from the Atlantis.

Atlantis Casino Resort Spa has 824 rooms in three towers. They come in several categories, and range from modern and high-end to slightly more dated and traditional. Rooms are spacious, starting at 375 square feet, and they are clean, quiet, and in superb condition. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in a good amount of natural light and provide nice views of the city or Sierra Nevada mountains, especially from the Concierge Tower rooms (which are on the hotel's top floors). Decor varies, but mostly handsome rooms feature wood furnishings and trim, artwork, and plush beds with Sealy pillow-top mattresses and down comforters. Rooms are done in a beige, white, and chocolate brown hues, with some rooms sporting dashes of burnt orange. Atrium Tower rooms are slightly more dated and traditional than Concierge Tower and Luxury Tower Rooms. Clean bathrooms are clad in marble, well lighted, and spacious, with ample counter space and shower/tub combos. All rooms feature safes, coffeemakers, free Wi-Fi,  iHome clock radios with iPod docks, and 42-inch flat-screen TVs with over 45 HD channels. Luxury Spa Rooms feature plush spa robes and rain sticks. Suites and Concierge Tower Rooms also feature some combination of wet bars, mini-fridges, Bose Wave radios, gaming systems, jetted tubs, personal butler service, parlors, and multiple TVs. Smoking rooms are available.

As a high-end casino resort, the Atlantis has a wealth of property facilities and amenities. The 60,000-square-foot casino features a poker room, blackjack, pai gow, baccarat, craps, roulette, high-limit room, slot machines, keno, and race and sports book. The Atlantis arguably has one of the best restaurants in Reno, the Atlantis Steakhouse, which is popular with locals and visitors to the city. There's also a bistro with seasonal California fare, a New York deli, 24-hour restaurant, Chicago hot dog stand, sushi and oyster bar, and two coffee bars. Twenty-four-hour room service is available, but no meals are included with most room rates. Concierge Floor rooms are entitled to a free continental breakfast buffet. Bars include a lobby atrium bar, terrace bar with views over Virginia Street, a cabaret bar, sports bar, and bar with 30-foot indoor waterfall. The upscale spa has a hammam and showcases treatments like a Rasul Mineral Mud Ceremony, wraps like a Cleopatra Milk and Honey Cocoon, and therapies like Brine Inhalation-Light Therapy. The resort also has an indoor atrium pool, year-round outdoor hot tub, seasonal outdoor pool, and sun deck. Both indoor and outdoor pools feature lounge chairs and social seating areas, pool concierge services, poolside dining, and seasonal private cabanas (for a fee). The resort also offers men's and women's tea lounges, and men’s and women’s locker rooms with herbal steam and cedarwood saunas. The excellent fitness center includes modern weight and cardio equipment, with many of the cardio machines featuring interactive wellness TVs with iPod compatibility. The resort also has a big video game arcade, concert venue, conference center, business center, gift shop, concierge, baggage assistance, free airport shuttle, and free valet and self-parking.
