Live music and shows

  • General sites
    • CALENDAR OF EVENTS - This list is compiled by NevadaNet, the Reno Gazette-Journal page. This page is an online version of the Gazette's Best Bets section. It is conveniently listed by calendar date. You can choose calendar dates for future months. Click on each show for more information. This site has the best list of non-casino events, including university productions and Carson City shows. This site also includes locations of the listed venues. Contacts for each show are listed.
    • RENO/ SPARKS CONVENTION & VISITORS AUTHORITY - The RSCVA lists events in the area, focusing mainly on area casinos. The information here is listed by show. This site has listings of university productions and some non-casino shows. Contacts for each show are listed here.
    • EVENTS LISTED BY TAHOE.COM -This site simply lists area shows by the casino they are showing in. Some non-casino information is included, but the site has some errors. It isn't Elstein's Quantum Cafe, it's Einstein's. The index of this site tells what's going on in Tahoe, not Reno, and it's obvious that Tahoe is the focus, although this particular page is the Reno section. There are no contacts listed here, except for Tahoe.com.
  • Casino sites
    • RENO HILTON CASINO - This fun page is easy to navigate because of the funny Monopoly-style nav bar. The events calendar has the same calendar format as the NevadaNet page. It has cool graphics and a clear itinerary. It lists all of the events at the Reno Hilton by calendar date. From this page you can go to Funquest, Reno's biggest arcade, and find the other recreational activities the Reno Hilton has. Check out their new comedy club, IMPROV. This site also allows you to make online reservations.
    • SILVER LEGACY CASINO - The Silver Legacy page is clean and spectacular with a convenient listing format. This, the newest of casinos in Reno, showcases their talent and amenities in a way that is easy to understand. The Silver Legacy page has online reservations as well as other ticket contacts like Basscharge. They also have a new comedy club, Catch A Rising Star.
    • EL DORADO CASINO -Take part in the events taking place at the El Dorado, including the very popular show Spirit of the Dance. This page has a surround video of the El Dorado showroom. Online reservations are available. Or bypass the shows and go directly to Brew Bros. Microbrewery, where the entertainment, and the Website, is usually really good. On the Brew Bros. page you can see the inside of the bar, just click on the picture and it will enlarge right before your eyes.
    • HARRAH'S CASINO - This page shows pictures along with the information about the Harrah's shows. Harrah's has telephone contacts but no online reservations available. This site also offers dinner packages, a show and a dinner for a special price.
    • JOHN ASCUAGA'S NUGGET -This site lists the shows at the Sparks Nugget. The site is fun, and the shows are usually some of the best in Reno. Let's hear it for Tom Jones!!! John Ascuaga's face appears on the site with a little body, a silly ad campaign that the Nugget has had for a while. Online reservations and contacts are available.
    • ATLANTIS CASINO NIGHTCLUB & ENTERTAINMENT -This flashy Atlantis page tells about the goings on at the Atlantis. Check out the nightclub there or override non-live music information and go straight to the events schedule for the Casino Floor Cabaret. There are telephone contacts, but no online reservations available.
    • PEPPERMILL CASINO - Although not much is going on at the Peppermill, the easy navigation bar will take you all around this animated site. They also have a countdown clock to the year 2000. There are telephone contacts but no online reservations available.
    • BONANZA CASINO -This very primitive site tells of the one act they have at this "local's favorite" casino. There are no dates listed nor are there times that the show takes place. No online reservations are available. It looks as if the Bonanza needs a new Webmaster.
