The Eldorado Resort Casino is located at 345 North Virginia Street in downtown Reno, Nevada.  It opened in 1973 as a family owned and operated business.  At that time, it was considered a risky venture to open where it did, but over the years, the Eldorado has expanded, grown, and is connected to the neighboring Silver Legacy, and Circus Circus.
Eldorado Resorts currently owns 26 properties in 12 states.
Fun Fact:
The Eldorado was the first casino in the United States to operate its own microbrewery.
