Lakeside Casino did not survive the pandemic. It closed in mid 2020. I had heard that the buildings were going to be torn down to allow a medical center to expand.

I was driving back from South Lake to Reno and stopped here for a pit stop and lingered a bit in the casino. It's clean and upscale and a bit quiet. Pleasant.

This is where the local people go to gamble and hang out. It's not big and glamorous, but more basic and friendly. Spend some time here.

We found this place to be a lot of fun when you want something other than the giant casinos at Harvey's, Harrah's, etc. $5 Blackjack tables, too, during our visit!

It's been a few years since I stayed there but when I did I was not at all impressed.
Seemed like I was staying at a Motel 6 versus a casino

Thank you for your review. We have great news! We have made several upgrades in the last couple of years to include all new carpeting, a brand new, crowd-favorite menu and more! We hope you get the chance to come back and see the improvements that have been made!

The staff and bartenders are always very friendly. I won back all the money that I lost in the bigger casinos plus some! It’s not as smoky as some of them, too. I’ve stayed in the motel in the past too and it’s always comfortable. I totally recommend this small casino.

Smaller than most of the casinos in the area but parking is very close to the door. Average payouts on most machines

John, We love being the smaller casino in town! We strive to achieve a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that doesn't typically accompany casinos and we hope you enjoyed your time with us. Come back and see us soon!

They treat me good with my players club rewards. Twice this year the wife and I were taking a drive up highway 50 and decided to go to south shore and called and got rooms both times on the day of arrival. The resturant is still outstanding with top notch food. I still enjoy using the pool whenever i'm there in the summer. Yes the rooms are dated and the mattresses make my hips hurt but I'm gettting old, also they closed the latin soul resturant but overall I like hanging out at this place. The downstairs sports bar can get quite electrifying during popular sports events and all the football weekends. I'm here for entertainment so I was not thrilled when they got rid of my 20 card penny Keno and I don't think I'm the only one turned off by that. I'll keep coming here unless someother place with my Keno game starts giving me rewards like this place does.

Have not been in this place in years. Not at all want I remembered.
It was so nice years ago. Now just a average casino. Nothing to write home about.
