Took my sister there for her 60th B'day. Rooms were the same old decor that has been there for 20 years. Beds were hard and the sheets stopped 8 inches from the bottom of the mattress. That is ok if your 5 feet tall, but my feet kept getting tangled in the sheet. The gambling was a complete blood bath.... more

I got a one bed room and the room is so big I was getting tired just walking back and forth across the room. Even though the room is big, it does not have a coffee table or couch or anything of that sort. Well at least there is a small frig. Because of the size of the room, everything... more

We checked out at midnight it was so bad. Our room was on the 8th floor on the same side as Nikki Beach. The music was so loud at Nikki Beach we could hardly hear our TV without turning it way up. We eventually dozed off only to be woken up at midnight when Nikki Beach cranked up the volume... more

We went for the cheap $7.77 dinner buffet at the GSR. It was our first time going as locals. Being so cheap, the line was a mile long and we waited almost 45 min in a smoke filled casino. It was Friday so what do you expect. The food was ok but overall everything tasted dry from the fried chicken... more

We stayed for a week from 6/7/08 - 6/14/08. Had a room on the 16th floor with a king size bed. Room was ok. Bed wasn't the best or worst. Housekeeping did a great job keeping the room serviced. We did have an employee try to get into our room one day around 4pm for an "occupancy check". We hadn't... more

I tempted my husband for an Anniversary weekend getaway by telling him how delicious the buffet was going to be.. It was a Friday night and we live a little over an hour from Reno. As we drove to the hotel we talked about and wondered if it would have crab, oysters, what cut of beef etc. As we arrived... more

I loved this hotel! I was here for 5 days for a poker tournament series, and the hotel was a refreshing change from most of the hotels I've stayed at when playing poker. There were plenty of dining options, from a Johnny Rocket's to a buffet to a few fine dining restaurants. I got a great rate on my room...... more

I recently traveled to Reno from Sacramento, CA for my birthday weekend and after trying to make reservations with much difficulty at other casinos (I have no credit card, and the other casinos i.e. Peppermill, etc. would not budge on the credit card policy and let me pay cash for the room.) I decided on the Grand Sierra. I was... more

Although I'm sure the Grand Sierra people had great aspirations for this property when they took it over from the Hilton, they have yet to realize those dreams. The outside of the hotel is dated and dreary - you drive past a half built amusement park area to get into the hotel which sets the tone for a depressing arrival.... more

Yes, the hallways are a bit overdue for a remodel, but on the whole, the hotel is excellent. The buffet is very good, even against the big Vegas ones, they Wynn and Bellagio included. The bowling alley is great and there is very little reason to leave for another Reno casino. We will be back. more
