Reno, Nevada – The owner of Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, Monarch Casino & Resort Inc., has reported better-than-expected financial results for the third quarter, topping Wall Street’s expectations.

The strong performance was driven by strong demand for casino gaming and hotel accommodations at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, located in Reno, Nevada. The resort boasts over 60,000 square feet of casino space, featuring slot machines, table games, a poker room, and a race and sports book. In addition, the property offers 824 guest rooms and suites, multiple dining options, a spa, and a championship golf course.

“We continue to see strong demand for our offerings at Atlantis, with guests returning in increasing numbers as travel restrictions ease and consumer confidence grows,” said Farahi. “We are confident in our ability to continue delivering strong financial results and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
Monarch Casino & Resort Inc. operates two casino properties in Nevada, including the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno and the Monarch Casino Black Hawk in Colorado. The company has continued to invest in its properties, with recent renovations and expansions at both locations.
