The Tamarack Casino in southwest Reno will add a 128-room Residence Inn by Marriott, Mike Pegram, the principal and co-owner, said on Nevada Newsmakers.
Pegram, renown in horse racing for owing winners of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, said he and other part-owners of the Tamarack also are in negotiations to add a similar Marriott property in the Carson Valley. The ownership group currently has the Carson Valley Inn in Minden.
“Currently, we are under plans to put in a Residence Inn, south of the Tamarack, on the property that we’ve acquired there,” Pegram told host Sam Shad. “So there will be a hotel that will be adjoining to the Tamarack, and again, it just comes back to consumer demand.”
