On Aug. 30, 2022, Reno-Sparks welcomed its first new ground-up casino in more than two decades.

So how has Legends Bay Casino fared since it opened?

For the new gaming property at the Outlets at Legends in Sparks, the last year has proved to be a valuable learning experience. While some parts of the business turned out as expected, there were also some surprises, according to General Manager Ryan Walker.

Dealing with the unexpected is par for the course for Legends Bay Casino.

The $130 million project itself took 15 years to come to fruition thanks to politics and opposition from local gaming interests.
