Maximize Reno Stay at The Row

Hey everyone! I know that there's posts about The Row and Reno "hacks" pretty often, but after searches and reading forums after forums, I can't find quite what I am looking for!

I'll be visiting Reno soon and staying at The Row. I'll be having a pretty sporadic schedule so traveling too far out of that area won't be ideal.

What I'm looking for is to "maximize" my stay here. I'll mostly be in the casino and hotel (El Dorado). I'm here to have a good time and I know I'll be losing money. So far, I learned to:

Open up a players club card as I saw on a post that this can unlock shopping and dining discounts immediately, and could lead to weekday comps for if I decide to visit again in a few months.

Look at Toucan Charlie's and India Kabob and Curry. So far those are really the only ones I can find on forums. I saw that La Strada is great, but unless I can learn any way to make it more efficient not sure I want to go. Last year we walked to Cal Neva for the super cheap dinner but got blindsided by the "takeout fees".

That's really all I could find online. If anyone has any tips for Staying and Playing in Reno, let me know! Not asking for anyone to expose their favorite secret spots, but any tips so I'm not just totally giving away my money to casinos and restaurants!

Thanks in advance
