About Topaz Lodge Casino

Topaz Lodge is a casino and restaurant at 1979 US-395 in the Topaz Lake area of Nevada, operated by Bob Cashell. The property is licensed by the Nevada Gaming Control Board; the minimum gambling age is 21, and the casino floor operates 24 hours a day. Directory data confidence for this property is LOW — specifics should be confirmed at topazlodge.com before visiting.

Topaz Lake is a reservoir on the California-Nevada state line, approximately 80 miles south of Reno and 40 miles south of Carson City via US-395. The Nevada side of the lake — where the lodge is located — sits in Douglas County near the community of Topaz Lake (mailing address: Gardnerville, NV 89410). The lake is known for trophy trout fishing and summer water recreation, drawing visitors from the Reno-Tahoe area, the San Francisco Bay Area via US-395, and the Northern California Central Valley via CA-108.

Topaz Lodge’s positioning on US-395 makes it a classic Nevada border-corridor casino: a stop for northbound and southbound travelers crossing from California who want Nevada gaming before or after the state line. Bob Cashell, the property’s operator, is a familiar Nevada figure — he served as Mayor of Reno from 2002 to 2010 and has long been associated with Northern Nevada hospitality and gaming operations. The lodge format — casino, restaurant, RV parking — targets the traveler and outdoor recreation demographic rather than the Las Vegas-style resort visitor.

Gaming Floor

The Topaz Lodge casino floor carries approximately 189 gaming machines — a small-format floor appropriate for a roadside Nevada lodge property — alongside 5 table games. The machine bank covers standard Slot Machines, Video Poker, and Keno terminals. Table games include Blackjack and 3 Card Poker, consistent with a Nevada small-property format. A Bingo program runs alongside the table section. A legal Race & Sports Book handles both fixed-odds sports wagering and simulcast race betting under Nevada Gaming Control Board licensing.

For travelers specifically looking for Nevada casino options on the US-395 corridor south of Carson City, Topaz Lodge is one of the few licensed Nevada gaming stops between Gardnerville and Bridgeport, California. The floor is not comparable in scale to the Reno or Las Vegas market properties, but it serves the purpose of a traveler casino stop: a place to play a few hands of Blackjack, watch a race, and continue on the road. Confirm current game availability at topazlodge.com before planning a gaming-focused stop, as our data confidence for this property is LOW.

Restaurant and Dining

The Topaz Lodge restaurant serves the casino’s continuous 24/7 schedule alongside the lake recreation and highway travel visitor base. The dining menu is oriented toward the road-trip and outdoor recreation guest — a practical eat-and-continue format rather than a fine dining destination. The RV park reinforces the traveler-community character of the property.

Location and Access

Topaz Lodge is at 1979 US-395, Gardnerville, NV 89410 — on the Nevada side of Topaz Lake, just north of the California-Nevada state line. Self-parking and RV parking are both available. The nearest communities are Topaz Lake (NV) immediately adjacent and Gardnerville/Minden approximately 20 miles north on US-395. Reno is approximately 80 miles north via US-395; Carson City is approximately 40 miles north. South Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe basin are accessible west via CA-89 or NV-88/CA-88.

★ Editor note

Topaz Lodge — a small Nevada border-casino on the US-395 fishing and recreation corridor

Topaz Lodge at 1979 US-395 is exactly what its format implies: a small Nevada casino on a busy travel route, catering to the angler, the road-tripper, and the local resident rather than the destination gambler. The 189-machine floor, 5 tables, Bingo, and Race & Sports Book cover basic Nevada gaming needs. The restaurant and RV parking serve the Topaz Lake outdoor recreation crowd. Our directory data confidence is LOW for this property — verify current hours, game availability, and restaurant menu at topazlodge.com before making a gaming-specific trip.
