Report from Gordon, February 3, 2010
I have an update on Reno Atlantis casino. following is my contact with
them. Based on this email, we spent Saturday night 1/16/10 in the
Atlanis parking lot. There were several other RV's also doing the
same thing. We had no contact with security.
Email #1 from a casino representative:
"The City of Reno has stated that they will not actively enforce the "No
Camping Ordinance", but that they will still respond to complaints of
camping. You are most welcome to come and park your RV in our West
parking lot and enjoy all the amenities that we have to offer. As long
as it does not appear that "camping" is occurring..."
Email #2 from a casino representative:
"You are welcome and you should be just fine. ...I cannot
condone "camping" in the parking lot, but what goes on inside your
camper while you are parked is your business as far as I am concerned.
As long as it does not appear from the outside that you have set up
camp, I do not have a problem. Also, you are more than welcome to park
your truck for a couple of nights."
Report from Ann, October 12, 2009
here is an email I received to my inquiry about staying in their parking
lot.
"Thank you for your inquiry. If you are a guest in our hotel, you may
park your RV in the west parking lot in the back row. However, you are
not allowed to "camp" there. If you're looking for recreational RV
parking please contact Concierge Services at (800)723-6500 ext 4378 for
options in the area."

The Reno city council has decided to stop active enforcement of the
overnight RV parking ban. They will now only respond to specific
complaints. I have no details about any new policies that specific
casinos will adopt, but I will post them here when they become available.
For now, it's best to call ahead and check with casino security if you'd
like to visit them in an RV

The city of RENO has started enforcing their ordinance against sleeping
overnight in an RV within city limits other than in an official RV park.

Casino Camper Report, June 22, 2008
Our friend and long time reader and contributor Karen B.
is in Reno. She emailed yesterday to say overnight RV parking is no
longer allowed at Atlantis. She told me they parked for one night, but
security put a flyer on their windshield saying the RV was parked illegally,
and had to be moved. Guests of the hotel can still park but need to
contact security. The flyer cited a Reno ordinance which specifically
prohibits sleeping in a RV which is not within a RV park.
Karen's email, and the history of RV parking at Atlantis, gives us a good
example of a casino trying to balance their desire to accommodate customers
and their need to avoid problems with local ordinances. We can't be
upset with a business that is simply following local law, and we have to be
flexible.
You may still want to consider Atlantis for a daytime stop on your way to
other locations. Be sure to talk with security upon your arrival so
they'll know you aren't planning to stay.

Casino Camper Report, November, 2007
Thanks to
Gordon who emailed me about
Atlantis. He corresponded with casino security in October, and then
stayed there for a few days earlier this month.
The gravel area where RVs previously parked has
been paved over to expand the parking lot. RV parking is still
allowed. The casino is being careful not to run afoul of city
ordinances while still providing overnight parking for their many RV
customers. You should check in with security when you arrive and
obtain a parking pass. Although you may see other RV's in the parking
lot without the pass I encourage all CasinoCamper readers to do what the
casino requests.
Atlantis is one of the top casinos in Reno, a
great place to gamble, and has some excellent restaurants. We want to
be good customers and keep this fantastic parking opportunity available.
