US – Legends Bay Casino to celebrate first year anniversary

By Phil - 23 August 2023

The first new casino in Reno for 20 years, Legends Bay Casino, is celebrating its first year of operation with revenues in line with what management had hoped for.

The $130m project was 15 years in the making, opening on August 2022, and is owned by Olympia Gaming. 

General Manager Ryan Walker said: “Business levels have been as expected. We’re very happy with revenue and final performance. It’s been a fantastic first year. We’re very excited about next weekend.”

The casino will celebrate one-year anniversary with a variety of casino promotions and a free two-day Battle of The Bands musical showdown on 25-26 August 2023.

Produced by award-winning Amplified Entertainment, the outdoor Battle of Bands kicks off on Friday night, August 25th, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and continues through Saturday, August 26th, with a competition featuring 12 local and regional bands of varying genres including Classic Rock, Country, and Top 40. Guests can vote for their favorite band throughout the competition via a QR code from their mobile device. The competition will conclude on Saturday night with three bands claiming the $1,000 top prize for their genre.

Following each night’s festivities, the party will be taken indoors to the bar inside to the sportsbook bar from 10 p.m. to midnight for the official first-anniversary After Party where we’ll jam on with free live entertainment from New Wave Crave and Eminence, plus enjoy drink specials, and more.

In honor of this milestone occasion, Legends Bay Casino is offering a commemorative First Anniversary LB Rewards player’s club card and is bringing guests the $60,000 Birthday Briefcase promotion every Friday and Saturday throughout August. Players can win their share of cash during 8 p.m. drawings by earning entries all week long while playing slots, video poker, and table games. Upon opening a lucky briefcase, winners can score up to $2,500 cash instantly. With 240 winners in total, each lucky case holds a guaranteed cash prize in denominations of $2,500, $1,000, $750, $500, and $250. But that’s not all – 25 runners-up at every drawing will score $100 in free play each.
