Sparks, Nevada sits immediately east of Reno, separated by a political boundary that is invisible in the continuous urban fabric of the Reno-Sparks metro. With approximately 110,000 residents, Sparks is Nevada’s fourth-largest city. Its casino scene is anchored by the Nugget Casino Resort, which is one of the more significant regional casino-resorts in Northern Nevada and operates independently of the major chains that dominate Reno’s downtown core.
Sparks is immediately accessible from Reno via I-80 east or via Victorian Avenue / Prater Way surface streets. From Reno-Tahoe International Airport, Sparks is approximately 10 minutes east. From the California state line via I-80, Sparks is the first major casino market encountered. Visitors driving from Reno downtown take Victorian Avenue east to reach the Nugget directly. The casino is walkable from the Sparks Amtrak station on select California Zephyr runs.
