What the resort fee covers
Silver Legacy Reno applies a mandatory daily resort fee; recent public listings name this fee as covering a standard package of guest conveniences rather than room rate inclusions.
Commonly listed inclusions are self-parking, access to the fitness center, in-room coffee, phone calls and outdoor pool access. Spa treatments, spa amenity fees and pool cabanas are not covered by the standard resort fee and can add separate charges.
- Self-parking (included in the resort fee)
- Fitness-center access (included)
- In-room coffee service (included)
- Phone calls (included)
- Outdoor heated pool access (included; pool hours 9:00 AM–8:00 PM)
| Item | Included with resort fee? |
|---|---|
| Self-parking | Yes |
| Fitness center | Yes |
| Pool access | Yes (cabana surcharge extra) |
How and when the resort fee is charged
The resort fee is mandatory and is shown on many third-party listings as a daily line item separate from the quoted room rate. Exact fee amounts can change, so check the rate details at booking and again at check-in.
If you book through a third party, the booking confirmation will typically state the resort-fee amount; the hotel also collects the fee at check-in in some cases when not prepaid. When in doubt, ask the front desk before arrival about how the fee will appear on your folio.
- Fee is assessed per room, per night (recent listings show about $41.93 — amounts may vary)
- May appear as a separate line on your booking confirmation or hotel folio
- Confirm during check-in if your rate already included the fee or if it will be collected at the desk
| When | How it appears |
|---|---|
| At booking (many sites) | Separate daily resort-fee line item |
| At hotel arrival | Collected on folio if not prepaid |
| On checkout | Shown on final bill |
Incidental deposit: what to expect
Silver Legacy requires a refundable incidental deposit collected at check-in to cover possible room charges or damages. Public listings show a standard refundable deposit of $100 per accommodation, per stay.
The deposit is refundable at checkout after any incidental charges are settled. If your card holds are used, the release timing depends on your bank or card issuer — ask the front desk for expected release timing if you need it for planning.
- Typical incidental deposit: $100 per accommodation, per stay (listed on recent public sources)
- Collected at check-in (credit/debit card required for the hold)
- Refunded at checkout after any incidental charges are posted and cleared
| Deposit | Purpose | Refund |
|---|---|---|
| $100 (listed) | Cover incidental room charges, damages | Refunded at checkout (release timing varies by bank) |
| Spa amenity fee (if used) | Access to spa lounges/amenities (separate) | Not part of incidental deposit |
| Valet/other extras | Charged separately | Billed to folio or card on file |
Parking: self-parking and valet
Self-parking at Silver Legacy is included as part of the mandatory resort fee; valet parking is available for an additional charge. Listings also note height restrictions in parking areas.
If you plan to park a vehicle with rooftop cargo, an oversized vehicle, or an RV, check with the hotel ahead of time about height limits and alternative options — those situations typically need special handling and may incur extra fees.
- Self-parking: included in the resort fee
- Valet parking: carries a separate additional fee (recent listings cite around $15)
- Parking areas have height restrictions — confirm before arrival if your vehicle is tall
| Parking option | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Self-parking | Included with resort fee |
| Valet parking | Separate fee (listed around $15 on some sources) |
| Oversize/tall vehicles | Contact hotel for options and charges |
Spa, cabanas and extras that cost more
The resort fee covers general pool access and fitness-center use, but spa amenity access and pool cabanas are charged separately. The Spa at Silver Legacy lists an amenity fee (approximately $60 per day) for access to salt rooms, lounges and spa pools when booking a treatment.
Pool cabanas and certain spa services are additional surcharges and are not included in the resort fee or incidental deposit. Make reservations or pre-pay where possible if you want spa amenities or a cabana during busy periods.
- Spa amenity fee when booking treatments: about $60 per day (reported on public sources)
- Pool cabanas: available for a surcharge (not included in resort fee)
- Spa treatments require advance reservations
| Extra | Included? |
|---|---|
| Spa amenity access (salt room, sauna, spa pool) | No — additional amenity fee (about $60/day) |
| Pool cabanas | No — surcharge applies |
| Spa treatments | Charged separately (reservation required) |
How to pay and what forms are accepted
Silver Legacy accepts major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) for room payment and incidental holds; public sources note the property does not accept cash for room charges. A government-issued photo ID is required at check-in along with the card used to guarantee the reservation.
If you prefer to prepay the room rate or pay deposits in advance, check your booking confirmation and the front desk policies — how prepayment is handled can vary between rates and third-party bookings.
- Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover
- Room charges: card required at check-in; cash is not accepted for room charges (per public listings)
- You must present a government-issued photo ID at check-in
| Action | Typical requirement |
|---|---|
| Check-in | Photo ID + credit/debit card for incidental hold |
| Pay room folio | Major credit/debit cards accepted; cash not accepted for room charges (per listings) |
| Prepaid booking | Follow third-party or confirmation terms |
Common arrival and billing tips
Confirm the resort-fee amount and what it covers before arrival — amounts shown online can change. Ask whether your rate already included the resort fee or if it will be added at the desk.
If you want to avoid incidental holds on a specific card, discuss alternatives with the front desk (some bookings allow different payment methods or pre-authorization). Keep receipts and check your final folio at checkout so all resort fees, deposits and extras are clear.
- Verify resort-fee amount on your booking confirmation
- Ask when the incidental deposit will be released after checkout
- Reserve spa services or pool cabanas in advance to avoid day-of availability issues
| Question | What to ask the front desk |
|---|---|
| Is the resort fee already paid or still due? | How it will appear on my folio |
| When will my incidental deposit be released? | Expected timing and any pending charges |
| Are there height limits in the parking garage? | Confirm if your vehicle fits or needs special parking |
