Silver Legacy Hotel

Recorded January 7, 1998.

Silver Legacy Resort Casino features a Victorian—19th century theme. This Reno, Nevada resort occupies two city blocks and the casino has more than 80 table games. The hotel features the world's largest composite dome, and a replica of a headframe, or silver mining rig. The resort also features a pool, health spa, and several shops and restaurants, and skywalks linking it with the Eldorado Casino Hotel and Circus Circus. The main hotel tower has 42 floors, with floors 4 through 38 being hotel rooms. At 410 feet, the Silver Legacy is the tallest building in Reno.

Sam Fairchild's legendary silver mining rig is a wonder for all guests to behold, a spectacular souvenir from a bygone era of mining wealth. Encased within the world's largest composite dome, the unprecedented 120-foot-high, automated mining machine is complete with ore cars. The interior of the unique 180-foot-high composite dome measures an astounding 75,000 square feet. The dome reflects the dramatic skies of Reno and depicts an entire day from sunrise to sunset. There are hourly shows seven days a week inside the dome, showcasing Silver Legacy's incredible mining rig in a wash of color, laser light and sound!

This video begins with the Silver Legacy's hourly mining rig show and then continues to the adjacent Eldorado and Circus Circus Hotels. At the Eldorado I walk around the Grand Plaza and at the Circus Circus I watch the juggling and trapeze acts under the big top.
