What:
For 26 years, the Eldorado has brought the sights, sounds and tastes of Italy to Reno during the Eldorado Great Italian Festival. From its inception, the Eldorado Hotel Casino has been modeled to fit an authentic Italian, classic European theme. The Italian Festival held each year in October is a celebration and extension of the great fun, food and family atmosphere you'll find inside the hotel casino everyday.
This year's festival will be highlighted by live entertainment on three stages, a spaghetti sauce cook-off, the famous grape stomping contest, bocce ball tournament, kids' gelato eating contest, a gourmet Italian buffet and the last big farmer's market of the season! Performers this year includes accordion legend Dick Contino, with Corky Bennett on keyboards, San Francisco's favorite retro-Italiano band, Bella Ciao, Those Darn Accordions, and many more.
