A really nice update to the historic Hwy 40 corridor. I am excited to see the revitilization to the area, and an option to the older sister properties of Gold Dust West and the Gols n Silver. The Js restaurants are excellent!! I was able to use my GDW comps to dine at the Cafe multiple times. Generous portions, top-qualuty proteins and sides, and great service. No more GDW as their quality really tanked over the past year or so. The steakhouse is on the calendar for sure! Overall, clean, bright, welll ventilated, new games, easy access, and great food! read more

We stayed one night on a road trip. We booked through CheapTickets and got a good rate. They do charge a resort fee onsite but parking is free. There is a large casino on the ground floor but we couldn't hear anything in the room. The room was clean and we did order room service which was very good. We stayed in the aspen tower. Staff that we encountered were all very nice. read more

Great fun at J Resort. Great rooms and friendly staff!! It's definitely walkable distance to the strip. There is so much to do at the J I would very highly recommend staying there. Try the steakhouse too the food is delish!! read more

The Buffet needs serious overhaul. Everything that I tried was very old. The meat was dry, repeated few times. Deserts were not fresh. It has potential but it needed a lot of improvements in the quality of the food. read more

We have eaten here a few times and was very nice we eat early so it's not busy food is good good price

New paint, carpet and interior design. Plenty of slot machines. It does not smell like smoke. Friendly staff. They need to improve the wine selection. Restaurants: Hanna's Table, The Buffet and J Paul's Italian Steakhouse Within walking walking distance of Glow Plaza and downtown. Really enjoyed live music at the bar. Looking forward to seeing more of it. read more

The outdoor concerts are a complete nuisance for the surrounding neighborhoods even miles away. The annoying thumping bass can be heard so loud I thought it was next-door to me and I live across the river Show some respect be a better neighbor to the community. read more

From the very beginning: Grace (at the front desk) was fabulous. Being in an Air Bnb for a month- we needed a wonderful experience. She was able to accommodate us in the Aspen Tower and reminded us that the front desk, housekeeping and any other needs would be met. They were! Thank you Grace! read more

Pretty impressed with the new renovations and vibe at The J. They upcycled this old Reno landmark quite well! Definitely worth adding to your rotation of mello spots to hang out for a drink, steak, or for the night. read more

J Resort - Poolside at The J for Sunday Night "For the Love of Jazz." - Resorts Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The resort as you can call, it has no customers. What is the best on the block how did they get that ready we were in there there was nobody playing slots they're gonna go blow broke. Otherwise it's fine. Well take it from me you don't wanna go in there go to the Peppermill Atlantis. read more

One of the worst experiences ever. The promotion was for a "free" grilled cheese sandwich. My husband and I reach our points, so we decided to eat in the restaurant. We were seated immediately, but that's where the wheels fell off. After 20 or so minutes, we got water- but no waitstaff. After about half an hour, a waiter from a different section came over to see if we had been helped. He took our order. Then, crickets. We were there over an hour and no one checked back with us and we didn't get any food. I could understand if the restaurant was busy, but there were literally only three other occupied tables. We left and I asked to see the manager at Customer Service. He couldn't have cared less. His first question was to ask if we had paid! Paid for what?! We got nothing. Definitely do not recommend this place. read more

We'll be tried the bogo buffet tonight. What a disappointment. The food is so unappetizing to look at. Over cooked and just not good. Chow mein was so overcooked and drenched in sesame oil, teriyaki dry and overcooked.Food just looked and tasted like really bad cafeteria food. Crab was ok but nothing special. So full of water that you had to wring out each piece. Thought the desserts looked good but all the crusts and cream puffs were soggy. The chocolate dipped strawberries looked amazing but you could see they were going bad. Sorry not even free would entice me back. read more

We stopped here when we were in town for a day. We joined their club and came out ahead on the slot machines. The Starbucks had a wonderful chicken sandwich that I would definitely order again. We plan to stop the next time we are in Reno again. read more

Hot tub colder than a witches tit, awkward build out in room. Which I kept hitting my head due to placement if and not a resemblance of a report and yet charge a fee. Don't forget the only cafe you had has trash for food read more

I stayed here about a week ago for one night. The hotel was very communicative regarding their remodeling prior to my arrival. I wasn't sure how disruptive it would be, but I didn't have any big issues. I parked in the hotel parking structure, and there are no signs to tell you which arrow to push to take you to the lobby. Thankfully, I guessed correctly. From the elevator, I arrived to the casino floor, but there were no signs to say which direction to go for check-in, and I had to ask a staff member. After check-in, I headed to my room. The room was great! It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I'm not a big gambler so I can't comment on the machines or tables. Overall it was a good experience. Just be patient with their remodeling process read more

Stayed there recently, would highly recommend ! The front desk clerks, especially Heather, were very helpful and polite, lots of security in the casino, that was a big plus. Stayed in the Aspen tower, new rooms, very tastefully decorated and very nice, I was pleasantly surprised ! Just a short walk to downtown, we dined at both the Buffet, and Hannahs, both had excellent food. The resort is still under some construction, so the noise in the morning surprised us, but wasn't that bad, I understand they only work during the week, not on weekends. Being a Nevada local, after staying at a few other places, I would pick this the best place to stay and play. read more

My daughter got harassed because of her purse it's one of the new mini backpacks that everyone is using when asked why he said there can be a gun or knife inside of it I then looked at that man and said my purse is three times that size. And I stated that means I have to go all the way back to my room he got a puzzled look on his face like he didn't think we had a room here...so long story short they like to harass minorities here. It's not work the money and then to spend more money playing here ....never coming back to this place again and I looked and it does not say you can't have a little backpack purse on the floor anywhere on the website...it's bull read more

J Resort - It's the same size as this one but different designs - Resorts Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Hotel rooms were great, and the staff is very friendly. The casino area is lacking game tables that are open, meaning they only had 2 out of 10 open during the week and they were $15 a hand. We like to play Craps instead of card games. read more

This review goes out to ALL the exemplary employees at the J Resort. You ALL do a spectacular job. I choose to stay, eat and play there because you simply are the best. Want to give a shout out to three members of the security staff: Eric, Fred and Ed. Eric is always courteous and helpful. Fred and Ed were the only two guards that were able to find a lost cell phone left at Gold Dust West for a week. I was privileged enough to meet MJ and was so impressed with this amazing man. No review would be complete without mentioning the amazing restaurants and cuisine. Will has picked a great staff. The food is prepared perfectly and priced very affordably. Lastly, the rooms and suites are some of the best in town. I often call the J Resort my home away from home. I LOVE this place and am truly grateful for your hospitality and making this 45 year Reno resident feel special. Warm Regards, Deborah Santoro read more

Went to Hannah's table took them 20 mins to even acknowledge that we were there. The rude bitch waitresses we had got mad because we wanted to get drinks. Like do your job. Then I said thank you and she just walked off. I recommend to everyone not to come to Hannah's Table. This place is disgusting and low class food. You can eat better at McDonald's. My waitresses name is read more

No hot water in shower Jacuzzi/pool closed Not near Riverwalk Food good in small restaurant read more

It Pays to Play at The J.... Just returned from the J. They always give me fantastic comps. I come down from N Oregon every 3 months or so to meet my HS Buddys I've known for almost 50 yrs. Had a food comp for J Pauls Steakhouse, but was unable to use it due to rain, and hail damage. The casino host gladly gave me a room credit . The staff always says hi, and all are very friendly and helpful. Will be booking my next stay in Reno at The J , as always...It shows, how it pays to play at The J. read more

This is a Resort right? I can't get coffee until 7 am. Their cafe doesn't open till 7 am. And...if the place is open 24 hours why can't I get a decent cup of coffee before 7 am without leaving the hotel into 30 deg weather? Unacceptable read more

Great bar. Food solid. Pricy. Staff nice. Young. Need more training. Steak sampler a cool idea read more

At this point they need to close the buffet. Most discussing place I have ever ate. Small buffet and for $38.00 a person is insane. A refund would be great crab legs were frozen still with ice on them. Prime rib was salty as hell. Couple people were disappointed in the buffet. Buckets for the crab legs were rusted so they added paper to hide it. Would post pictures but this review will be just fine. read more

It was alright the rooms where clean but the family suete was nice but the pull out bed was ghetto and not comfortable

Kevin Garcia was an amazing bartender at the J resort. As a general manager myself I have a high expectation for every experience I have wherever I go. He made it clear his focus was my comfortability and enjoyment. i will be guaranteed to return! read more

They have done a wonderful job remodeling and updating this property. Yes, it's new and improved. The most impressive portion of the improvement is the excellent staff! Everyone is kind and friendly. One person stands out above the rest.... Heather, the Front Desk Supervisor. With her the phase " Customer Service" is NOT an oxymoron! She went above and beyond d beyond helping me straighten out a 3rd part booking mistake. I will be coming back here each and every time I'm in Reno. Keep up the GREAT job Heather! read more

my husband & i would just like to give a huge shoutout to the bartender Jeremey! he made our visit so fun and we had a great time:) he definitely needs a raise! read more

The rebranding and remodeling results are fantastic! The exterior looks great! Better color scheme, newer, fresher, more modern and appealing. I would also say the same for the casino floor. I also dined at the new steakhouse, J Paul's. Phenomenal restaurant! I would say it is already in the top three of steakhouses in the Reno area. Yes, it was that good! And I know steakhouses. I did not stay in the hotel, so I can't speak to how the new rooms turned out. The staff I encountered were warm and welcoming. read more

They do not provide room keeping services unless you ask and then they just come to empty the trash. Even for their premium suites

Great room. Clean, well appointed and quiet. Staff was friendly, helpful and polite. A definite do over!

This was our first time staying at the J Resort after it was remodeled from what was previously known as the Sands. The workers there are informative and knowledgeable. The casino interior and lay out reminds me of a mini Aria from Las Vegas. Clean and looks good! (When I mean mini, think like 1/15th casino floor and maybe 300-400 rooms versus 4000. ) It looks really nice. The payout is tight and not much of a good promotion. . And the floor only have 5 common table games. But overall its good. The rooms are really pretty tho as they have large bathroom, mini kitchen and modern appliances. Other than that. (The parking needs a rethink cause if homeless people hassling guests when they leave). read more

J Resort - Mini kitchen - Resorts Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I've been coming here for years. Before the makeover. Now they've upgraded. I love it even more. The only thing that bums is that they're driving people away during football season because they're not showing local games such as 9ers or even the raiders. They were playing day before college reruns. Last but not least not enough tables and cut off times are early if not busy. Staff and rooms are perfect read more

A great stay in the refurbished Sands. Rooms were spacious and clean. Couldn't get the Chromecast to work on the TV, finally called the front desk and found out it was disabled. I would definitely stay here again, the only reason for the Four Star review was that the staff didn't know where anything was. Like the gym, the pool (which is off site apparently). Three of us ate at J Paul's. Most of the food was good, the Linguini got sent back , it had five tiny manilla clams in it. Really! Side of spaghetti was way over cooked, in no way al dente. The other items we ordered like the ribeye and foie gras were very good. My wife's salad was incredibly small for the price, but tasted good. The waiter made good on the pasta dishes, but at that price let's do it right the first time. Don't bother with the the chocolate After-Dinner Cigar dessert. You'll get immediate diabetes. Way too sweet, just the taste of sugar. The deconstructed Tiramisu was lame. They need to get rid of both those desserts and stick with traditional Italian sweets. With the liquor, the bill came to $500. Was it worth it? Not really. read more

Hannah' Table has excellent food and service. Clean relaxed atmosphere. Nice booths for privacy. Good for a couple of friends who like to chat! Ample parking. read more

Christina our roulette dealer is the best person at the J resort to talk to and socialize with. Can't recommend the J enough

Christina best dealer I've ever had in my frickin life! I love her ! I've never had a better experience in my life at a casino !

Nice room but you get what you pay for. Never have I ever stayed at a "resort" that didn't provide a microwave in room. 1. The water from the faucets are scalding hot and messed up. 2. The door on the shower was crooked and couldn't be closed. 3. No safety bars in the shower. 4. The temp in the room was impossible to regulate. 5. The restaurant in the hotel did not get our order right, had to keep asking for things we ordered. 6. Never have I stayed at a hotel that does NOT service the room. But this turned out to be a good weekend bc it was a family weekend. read more

Great new and clean resort. There is a restaurant that seems to be open 24 hours Hannahs (a bit inconsistent service), but when its great it is exceptional. A snack bar that has plenty to choose for pastries donuts and deinks on the run. The table games are non smoking which is a plus for me. Shout out to Cisco for great service at the table games. As for the Negative the dealers keep there tips, and they some are obnoxious to say the least. They talk about tips constantly and if you don't give them tips (or if it isnt enough) they will let you know. Imo tips are a reflection of the service. It doesn't make it for fun at the tables especially when they have only 1 table open as there is not enough people that come to this casino. Negative is the sportsbook is small if really anything at all and it closes at 5pm. read more
