This casino features regular cabaret shows on its casino floor, with entertainment typically taking place from Wednesday through Saturday each week, from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m. Acts vary from rock bands to soul performers and saxophone musicians, with each act delivering both original material and cover versions of classic songs as part of their repertoires. The cabaret shows take place twice a day, but each day's showcase is different and features a variety of acts. The Atlantis Casino prides itself on the freshness and originality of its gambling games, and features both an outdoor terrace and a nonsmoking section as part of its gaming area.

Part of the Silver Legacy Resort Casino---a downtown Reno hotel and gaming complex containing 1,700-plus guest suites---is the Silver Legacy Comedy Club, which runs themed nights called "Catch A Rising Star." This comedy showcase runs from Tuesday until Sunday, inclusively, at a nonsmoking showroom in the casino resort and aims to introduce audiences to some of the big up-and-coming talent on the United States comedy circuit. The Comedy Club is noted for its part in creating the careers of top comedy performers such as Rosie O'Donnell, Jerry Seinfeld and Billy Crystal. The Comedy Club is only available for individuals over 21 years old. Visitors can catch a show at the Comedy Club on its own or, for the price of $20.50 (as of October 2010), guests can enjoy both a comedy show and dinner at one of the Silver Legacy Resort Casino's four restaurants as part of a package the casino calls "Dinner and A Laugh."
