The short version
Club Cal Neva is one of the old downtown casinos on Second Street and still looks the part, with dated paint and lighting that its fans count as part of the appeal. For many the draw is the Top Deck, the restaurant up on the top floor, where regulars order the prime rib and lobster tail combination, burgers and coffee at prices that stay low. New players say it takes little play to earn free play and food vouchers when they sign up, and table players mention single deck blackjack and pai gow at low minimums.
The Top Deck has critics as well, who report slow refills, long waits for food and steaks that came out chewy. Slot players call the machines tight, and one noticed the smallest bet on a penny game came to 80 cents. Several reviewers found the security staff overbearing and felt watched.

The services was mediocre, The hostess sat dwn menu walked away. Being low light vision we moved to a different table.
Food like always good. Keno lady bit slow doesn't come around and had to be chased down. Probably only one.
Hope they can improve on the service.
Coffee is great but 20 mins plus to wait for a…
My family had a great time at this casino! Lots of promotions, first day they went they got so many points to earn $40 in free play, one of my family members hit their first jackpot ever!
They are doing their best at this little casino in the best little town! Prime rib lobster tail combo is a delicious meal at an affordable price served by engaged staff. Dinner could be updated to 2026 lighting and paint but retro is always in fashion. Good job everyone.
Love cal Neva is great best bang for your buck top deck is still a great restaurant with that old school reno feel

At 38 E 2nd St in Reno, under a mile from Downtown Reno as the crow flies. It's a Nevada casino, so it has slot machines as well as table games, and you need to be 21 to gamble.
Yes, around the clock every day, going by its Google listing. Holiday hours sometimes change, so call if you're planning around a particular time.
