This casino is a bit further than I wanted to travel due to the gas prices but I had a great time, plenty of promotions, slots, table games, food, ample parking, great rooms More

They have free shuttles and perhaps the biggest casino facility in the region. I have never had the buffet there but I have heard nothing but good things about it. Personally I like the promos better at Red Hawk and Jackson Rancheria. More

Smokey like all other casinos. The non-smoking area is a walk through the smoke area to get to. Table action o.k., but lucky dealers. More

I've stayed in the rooms and they are great. Comfy beds, beautiful bathrooms and clean. The casino is beautiful since the expansion a couple of years ago. Of course I want to win lots of money every time I visit but that's not how casinos are built. Overall, the rooms and casino are beautiful. I guess I can't fault my... More

Thunder Valley Casino is well advertised but not well signed on the highways! .So by the time we found the place we were more interested in food than slot machines.. Several eateries are scattered throughout the giant casino: a steak house, A Chinese restaurant, some bar/cafe's and the restaurant we found.; the name of which was not at the time... More

Drove here instead of Vegas. Great time. The room was first rate, wife loved the shower and separate vanity. We stayed in a basic room, still included very plush robes and Kuerig coffee. Bars are great, very fun, but be of note, due to a deal the tribe made w/ state, they do not comp drinks, and they have this... More

Love their outdoor concerts. Hope they continue to get great acts. We love the casino. Still smoky though, even with the high tech exhaust system. We go a few times a year. Mostly to eat at the steakhouse and gamble a bit. More

Nice looking but smells like the nearby dump. Sometimes unbearable. Machines are very tight. Table games are good. Resturaunts are all pretty good. Just don't plan on winning any money. More

Everything was perfect from the food to the luxurious rooms. It makes Reno look old and outdated. Now I dont have to travel as far to gamble and have fun. One thing they can work on though is the smoke. Instead of having 1 special no smoking room, they should reverse it and make the place smoke free with a... More
