Coming this football season (subject to regulatory approval) the all-new 7,200 square foot William Hill Race & Sports Book at the Silver Legacy will feature a new sports bar, state-of-the-art video wall technology for viewing of sporting events and live InPlay betting odds. A jumbo high-definition video wall across the width of the sports book will provide a panoramic viewing experience.
The race and sports book at Circus Circus Reno will also be undergoing a major renovation, including upgraded sports viewing with state of the art big screen TVs and a new sports bar and lounge. The Eldorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus have over 220,000 square feet of world class gaming, including the race and sports books and live poker.
