The Silverton Casino Lodge is a “bang for your buck” three-star resort located about five miles off the Strip. It’s a favorite among locals and budget-conscious travelers.
The casino just relaunched its sportsbook, now branded Circa — as in the mega sportsbook in Fremont Street. We scoped out the brand-new Silverto Circa Sports property and wrote up this unbiased review of it. Keep reading for a first look at the new-and-improved sportsbook!
The new 1,600-square-foot sportsbook can be found just inside the casino through the parking garage. It has a unique setup with four six-person booths facing the video screens. There are also smaller tables, 12 lounge chairs and 24 bar-top games ringing the outside. It isn’t the most spacious place, but it’s good enough for most days, barring March Madness and the Super Bowl.
The Silverton Las Vegas sportsbook is located off Interstate 15 at 3333 Blue Diamond Road, just a short distance north of two other off-the-Strip resorts competing for the California and local crowd. South Point sportsbook is about four miles away, while the M Resort venue is close to eight.
Silverton sportsbook hours are the same every single day — 8 am to 10 pm. Those are good operating hours, especially the 10 pm close time, which is enough to cash-in tickets from late-night sports events.
Of course, Circa runs the sportsbook. This goes for in-person on the property and online via the Circa Sports App. Circa’s betting odds are in-line with what you’d find at MGM or Caesars or William Hill. As a bettor, you’ll be hard-pressed to NOT find the sports bet you’re looking for.
One thing about mobile betting: you have to register in-person BEFORE you can place online bets. Don’t get mad at Cira or Silverton though as this is a Nevada law to keep bookies like DraftKings and FanDuel out since they don’t have physical casinos. Once registered, you’ll be happy to know Circa works in a few other states (e.g. Illinois or Iowa) besides just Nevada.
Complimentary beverages are offered with a voucher but, like most sportsbooks on the Strip such as Mandalay Bay, they’re getting harder and harder to come by. There are no firm rules for a free drink at the Silverton but plan on betting a fair amount to get one.
Silverton sportsbook odds are the same as other CG Technology venues in the Las Vegas area, so bettors can count on them being up-to-date and competitive with other gaming platforms.
Silverton sportsbook odds are posted or displayed on the following sports:
Here are some of the bets available at land-based off-the-Strip sportsbooks powered by CG Technology, like the Silverton and Palms:
The minimum wager for any bet is $5 on the CG Sports app, but $10 at most land-based sportsbooks.
CG Technology permits bets on tablets that do not have data plans. Wagers may be made over a wireless Internet connection as long as it is in Nevada.
The biggest bonus of playing online is access to live betting, where the money line, point spread and over-under totals change even after the game has started.
The Silverton resort offers free parking with hundreds of open-air spaces and a five-floor parking garage. It may not seem like a big deal, but some of the mega-resorts on the Strip are charging as much as $20 a day for parking.
Start your Vegas vacation with the best bet and use a rideshare app to reach your destination at Silverton. The programs Uber and Lyft will take visitors anywhere in the surrounding Las Vegas area at about two-thirds the cost of a taxi fare. Just enter the details of your trip and wait for a driver to reply with a price and availability. No cash ever changes hands.
The Silverton has about a half-dozen dining destinations, including a buffet with show-cooking stations. But the Seasons buffet seems to get the most complaints from reviewers on TripAdvisor for its high prices and just average food. Here are some of the culinary choices that get much better reviews at the Silverton:
The loyalty program at this off-the-Strip resort on the south side of Las Vegas is called Silverton Rewards. It is the only casino that uses this program. Guests who register for this free card receive bonuses and offers from Day 1, including a half-off dining promotion and up to $100 in free play. Cardholders are emailed monthly offers, special invitations to events and slot tournaments, and free gifts. All members start at the Silver level and graduate to Gold, Platinum, and Diamond by earning tier credits for casino play at slot and video poker machines and table games. Points are not awarded in the sportsbook. Reward points can be used for free slot play, dining, retail merchandise, concert tickets, hotel accommodations, Bass Pro Shop gift cards and more. Like all the other reward cards, the higher level cardholders and high rollers receive more comps, perks, and free play.
Sports betting and slot machines are not the only draw to the Silverton Casino & Hotel, which is located right on Interstate 15 about a 10-minute drive south of the Strip. It also features an outdoor pool, a floor-to-ceiling aquarium with mermaid shows, and an attached Bass Pro Shop. There’s plenty to do here in this rustic lodge, but it lacks all the flash and glitter of the resorts on the Strip.
The 69,000-square-foot casino has the same hot slots as the towering mega-resorts on the Strip. With more than 1,500 names to choose from, including video poker and video keno, all that’s missing at the Silverton is maybe some iconic water show out front. Guests will also find 30 table games on the main casino floor, with limits running anywhere from $5 to $1,000. There’s a seat open at the following games:
The Silverton Las Vegas, which opened its doors in May 1994, is a great value and convenient spot for locals and tourists looking for a comfortable stay away from the mayhem on the nearby Strip. The property’s spacious rooms were remodeled and refreshed in 2013 and 2014, even though most retained the mountain lodge theme. The hotel earned TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence in 2018.
