History

Plans for the Eldorado were announced in July 1972 by a group of six investors, including members of Reno's prominent Carano family. The hotel opened on May 24, 1973 with 278 guest rooms, two restaurants, and a casino with 200 slot machines, 9 table games, and a keno game. Also incorporated into the property were a ballroom accommodating up to 750 people, an underground parking garage, and executive suites. In 1979, the success of the Eldorado Resort Casino prompted what would be the first of many expansions and improvements. Guestrooms were brought to a total of 411 with a further expansion completed in September 1985 adding 20,000 square feet of gaming area and four new restaurants. By 1989, the Eldorado had grown to 814 hotel rooms and boasted its own on-site bakery, pasta and gelato shop and butcher shop. In 1992, the Eldorado added a 10 story parking garage for added convenience to guests. The completion of another transformation for the Eldorado happened in 1995. Coinciding with the construction of
