Silver Legacy Reno is a hotel and casino located in Reno, Nevada, opened on July 28, 1995. It anchors a network of connected hotel-casinos in the downtown Reno core that included Circus Circus Reno and Eldorado Reno. It is owned and operated by Eldorado Resorts. It has over 1,700 hotel rooms and suites and is the tallest building in Downtown Reno. Previous owners of Silver Legacy Reno were Mandalay Resort Group, formerly known as Circus Circus Enterprises (1995–2005) and MGM Resorts International (2005–2015) ==History== In 1992. Don Carano, a Reno attorney and CEO/Chairman of the Eldorado Hotel Casino and Clyde Turner, CEO of Circus Circus Enterprises, joined together to design the Silver Legacy. At the time, Las Vegas was growing and overtaking Reno with larger and more lavish casino-hotels. Carano wanted to create a similar, competitive casino-resort. Its cost was projected at $230 Million. On July 22, 1993, the special use permit was approved to go ahead with the construction on land owned by Carano, two city blocks which would link the new resort with Eldorado and Circus Circus. Carano and Turner announced the official name of the resort on December 15, 1994. Following a citywide competition to name Reno's newest resort in more than a decade, the winning name "Silver Legacy" was chosen. In June 1995, the Nevada Gaming Commission approved the gaming permit for the resort. Carano's eldest son served as CEO of the property and later on, his next eldest son, Glenn, would join the executive team at the resort as Director of Marketing. Silver Legacy also made the big screen, first in "Kingpin" in 1996 starring Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray showcasing the newest attractions of Reno, the Silver Legacy and the nearby National Bowling Stadium, too completed in 1995. Glenn Carano made a short appearance in the film and many scenes were shot inside the resort. Later, in 2002, Waking up in Reno starring Patrick Swayze and Natasha Richardson, was filmed inside Silver Legacy. In 2014, Carano was promoted to General Manager of Silver Legacy Reno. At 41 stories high, the Resort Casino is the largest building in Downtown Reno. It is typically lit green and referred to by many as the "Emerald City" of Reno. In support of the Nevada Wolf Pack, the building will sometimes turn blue. In 2013, a contest was held online to vote on if the building should turn blue permanently, but it was Emerald Green that won the decision. In July 2013, Silver Legacy founded the Biggest Little City Wing Fest, a three-day chicken wing festival held on Virginia Street in front of the casino. The festival started with just a few local wing cookers but has since grown to feature 25 businesses from around the United States. In 2014, (Wing King ) won an award for the Hottest Hot Wing and (Paulie's Pizza ) won People's Choice Wing. Strangely, while the resort was established in 1995, an awning on the building's front entrance states that it was established a century earlier in 1895. This may be a nod to the building's 19th century theme. On July 7, 2015, MGM agreed to sell its properties in Reno (Circus Circus Reno and a 50 percent stake in the Silver Legacy) to Eldorado Resorts for $72.5 million. On November 5, 2015, the sale of Circus Circus Reno and Silver Legacy Reno to Eldorado Resorts were unanimously approved by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. On November 19, 2015, the sale of Circus Circus Reno and Silver Legacy Reno to Eldorado Resorts were unanimously approved by the Nevada Gaming Commission. On November 24, 2015, the sale of Circus Circus Reno and Silver Legacy Reno to Eldorado Resorts were completed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silver Legacy Reno」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
