Pioneer Crossing Casino in Fernley unveils new remodel and expansion
The Fernley Reporter

Since February of this year, Pioneer Crossing Casino in Fernley has been under construction, making significant improvements throughout the entire property.

The estimated $1 million dollar remodel comes on the heels of the Fernley casinos 12th anniversary.

CEO Mike Benjamin said the remodel has been in the works for some time.

“We’ve been working on this remodel and expansion for years and it feels great to finally see it all come together,” he said.

Benjamin went on to say the decision to make the investment now was partly due to the much anticipated growth in Fernley and the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center area.

The expansion and remodel includes additional square footage to the casino floor and gaming area, new carpet, a larger Players Club, a new Sports Bar & Lounge with a 14-screen video-wall. The expanded gaming area features new, state of the art, slots increasing the casinos slot capacity by 25 percent. The completely remodeled and re-branded Chuckwagon restaurant gets a new name, the Branding Iron Café & Steakhouse. The Café menu has been updated with additional local favorites and a new Steakhouse menu featuring California grown, Harris Ranch Angus Beef.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony and festivities will be held Wednesday May 24, beginning at 3 p.m.

*Pioneer Crossing Casino owns and operates three casinos in Lyon County.  Fernley, Dayton and Yerington.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
