WHY STAY AT SPARKS MARINA

Location is the main reason guests choose these hotels over other Sparks properties. Sparks Marina Park sits adjacent to the hotels, giving you easy access to the waterfront, the walking path, and the beach area without needing a car. Legends Bay Casino is right next door, so you can reach the gaming floor, a show, or dinner at Duke’s Steakhouse, the LB Grill, or the Oyster and Sushi Bar in just a few minutes on foot.

The Outlets at Legends sits within the same complex, with more than 60 stores including Nike, Gap, Coach, and others. A short drive opens up even more: Wild Island Family Adventure Park is roughly five minutes away, downtown Reno’s museums and arts district are about 10 to 15 minutes, and Lake Tahoe is around 45 minutes depending on season and traffic. Virginia City, one of Nevada’s best preserved historic towns, is about 30 minutes to the southeast.

For travelers flying in, Reno-Tahoe International Airport is approximately 15 minutes from the hotels via I-80 West. The hotels sit right off I-80 at Exit 20, making arrivals and departures simple whether you’re driving from the Bay Area, Sacramento, or anywhere along the I-80 corridor. Free on-site parking at both hotels means there are no daily garage fees to account for.

SAVE 15% WITH LB REWARDS

Both partner hotels offer a 15% discount to active LB Rewards members. Membership is free. To sign up, please visit the club desk and present a valid ID.

LB Rewards membership comes with benefits that extend well beyond the hotel discount. Depending on your card level, perks can include gaming rewards, priority seating for dining and events, access to member-only promotions, and complimentary upgrades. If you’re visiting for a casino weekend or a special event, having an active LB Rewards account before you arrive is worth the two minutes it takes to sign up.

WHAT TO DO DURING YOUR STAY

Staying steps from the marina and casino means you have plenty within easy reach. Here are a few highlights:

Sparks Marina Park (a short walk from both hotels). Start your Sparks adventure at Sparks Marina Park, a 77-acre gem built on a former gravel pit that’s now one of the most popular recreational lakes in Northern Nevada.

The park draws swimmers, stand-up paddleboarders, kayakers, anglers, and picnickers year-round, and its paved loop trail is a favorite for joggers and cyclists.

Legends Bay Casino gaming floor: The 80,000 sq. ft. gaming floor features popular slots like Lightning Link, Dragon Link, Megabucks, and Wheel of Fortune Cash Link, plus a high-limit area. Table game options include roulette, craps, blackjack, Pai Gow, and Ultimate Texas Hold’Em.

Check the LBC events calendar before your visit for what’s happening during your stay.

Dining at Legends Bay Casino: Enjoy casual meals at the LB Grill, fresh seafood at the Oyster and Sushi Bar, or an upscale sit-down dinner at Duke’s Steakhouse—a fine dining experience featuring handcrafted cocktails, an extensive wine list, and 28-day dry-aged prime steaks like our signature 22 oz bone-in ribeye.

Galaxy IMAX: Located next to the Legends Bay Casino, this theater offers IMAX screens, reclining seats, and cocktail service—ideal for a complete night out.

Check current showtimes for a date-night or family movie option.

Outlets at Legends: Shop your favorite brands just steps from the casino! The Outlets at Legends—an open-air shopping center right next door to Legends Bay Casino—features over 60 brand-name and outlet stores like Nike, Gap, and Coach, all within walking distance.

Sparks Hometowne Christmas brings holiday programming to the marina through the winter months. Legends Bay Casino runs its own schedule of live entertainment, gaming promotions, and special events throughout the year.

For business groups and corporate events, the Residence Inn includes a small meeting room, and Legends Bay Casino offers a dedicated event venue and meeting space that can accommodate receptions, conferences, and private dinners.
