Pioneer Crossing celebrated the expansion and remodel of its Fernley property with a ribbon cutting ceremony and Open House on May 24.

The estimated $1 million remodel of the first of Pioneer Crossing’s three Lyon County properties was completed around the beginning of May. It includes new carpet throughout the entire property, a remodeled and expanders Players Club, a remodeled cashier’s cage, a remodeled and rebranded restaurant, the new Roaring Camp Sports Bar & Lounge, replacing the old stage area, and a new gaming area.

“We couldn’t be happier with the outcome,” owner Mike Benjamin said at the May 24 ribbon cutting. “We believe in Fernley, Nevada. We believe in Fernley’s can-do spirit, we believe in Fernley people and we’re invested in Fernley’s future.”

The new gaming area includes an additional 1,600 square feet of gaming floor, replacing what had been offices along the northern portion of the building. With 42 new state of the art slot machines, the casino increased its slot capacity by 25 percent.

The restaurant is renamed the Branding Iron Café & Steakhouse, and includes new tables featuring reclaimed wood and chairs, a new steakhouse menu featuring California-grown, Harris Ranch angus beef and an updated café menu.

The lounge includes a 44-fot long, high definition video wall with surround sound, a new poker bar featuring Superstar video poker, a new sports bar food and drink menu and 16 beers on tap.

Pioneer Crossing Casino Fernley was built and opened in 2005. Pioneer Crossing added properties in Dayton in 2009 and Yerington in 2013. The three locations employ more than 200 people in Lyon County, 76 of them at the Fernley location.

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.

Anyone who knows Fernley KNOWS this is more of the who you are related to and know business in this town. VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS.

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.
