Heading to Reno Jan 28-31-First time.

[Big Mac]

Hi all,

I booked a last minute trip for work and decided to tag on the weekend to have a little me time. I have not done much gambling in the last 5 months a few poker games and a couple trips to the local. I dialed it back after I went on tilt and dropped $2k one night thinking I was a high roller. Plan to play some craps some slots and some 3 card. bankroll of $1500 so I will keep control unless I get ahead then watch out.

I am staying at Harrahs comped and will wander around to see the sights.

Is there any food recommendations, must see/do while I am there?

If anyone else is going to be in the vicinity let me know and we can meet up for a few cocktails.

Cheers

Do you have a car ? Definitely go to Atlantis or Peppermill. It's been years since I've been there, but venture out to Eldorado and silver legacy. Buffet was ok at harrahs. It had dungeness crab. Asian noodle place in Eldorado was great.

Good luck! Enjoy your weekend getaway.

[Luckylinda123]

Harrahs steakhouse is very good.

[foamy]

Good luck and post big hits.

Agree!

If you can- take the shuttle or drive over to Tahoe for the day

Noodle place in Eldorado is fantastic and incredibly cheap.

[noleman]

Couple of my favorite places/things to do in Reno:

1. Buffalo Progressive at Atlantis

2. Mel's Diner at the Sands (best to visit during daylight hours)

3. Jerry's Nugget (Sparks) -- good peoplewatching

4. Peppermill Slot Chairs -- like butter

5. Lake Tahoe is 1 hr away, but don't do the drive during rush hour or on a Friday or weekend day.

You'll definitely notice how much better the slots area there. My first Reno trip I stayed at Harrah's too since it was comped and started winning on the first slot I played. The funny thing was when I first checked in I thought the casino was tiny, took a bit before I realized there was a bridge and a whole other side to it across the street.
,
Agree with what everyone has said so far too. Definitely check out Atlantis (buffet there is good since the remodel), that's my all time favorite casino.

Peppermill and GSR are both worth checking out. I like the smaller casinos in Sparks too, just because I seem to win at them all. with a car you'll be able to get around pretty easily and quickly, even the drive out to Sparks takes like 10-15 min.

Tahoe is great to see for a day trip even just to see if if you never been, although don't go if weather looks to be bad when you are there, those roads are really hilly. Do your gambling in Reno instead of Tahoe though so much better.

Have a great trip - good luck

Have a great time - and best of luck on the slots!

[Evoni]

Have fun and good luck! Clemi, Mike, his sister and I ate at the Charlie Palmer restaurant at Grand Sierra last June and had a good dinner.

[Big Mac]

Thanks for the helpful info. Looking forward to some weekend me time and some wins.

I will explore and try to report in any adventures.

Cheers

Gotta check out Roxy's happy hour at Eldorado for $5 martinis! Don't see a lot of mentions for it on the boards but I know you like your cocktails so I think you'll really enjoy it.

Between kjell28 and I, we've made a serious dent in their 102 martini offerings!

Sorry that is painful. Hope the early flight gets you there

[treyster]

I can't believe there's a de-icing issue in Reno, that would affect all flights. Maybe your airline didn't pay it's de-icing bill last month. Good luck!

[Big Mac]

Here we go again fricken 430 is too early to get up unless your gambling. Fitfull sleep worried about sleeping too long, that's all my bad luck done with time to get my gamble and drink on.

Hopefully they found the de-icer and you will be on your way and gambling soon. Good luck.

[sondor]

Sorry to hear about the flight issues.....hope you have a great time

Popped on this morning to see how your first night in Reno went and saw this - Total Suckage! I hope Reno makes it up to you starting the minute you hit the casino floor.

I am a big fan of Reno (other than the you can't get theah from heah part), with Peppermill being my absolute favorite for video poker. Downtown is fun, too!

Good luck!

I have always lost in the high limit room at Harrah's Reno. I have done okay on dollar machines in front of cashier but that has to be the tightest high limit room with the least selection of machines that I have seen.

Good luck today!

[dailun]

I only play in the HL room at Harrahs Reno because it is quiet(er) and they have Wonder 4 machines. Otherwise, they are starting to put the newer machines in the standard property.

[kdk]

I threw $20 into the 50 cent Rawhide machine in the HL room there about a year and a half ago, and was just betting 5 lines on it, and got a bonus for over $1000 last October there. But I think their HL room gets very little play, I never see anyone else in there unless they are playing the regular Wonder 4 games.

Had back to back bonuses on omg puppy got to play with Harrah's money for a good amount of time.

Had a killer craps run bought in for$100 cashed out at $850 so bringing home half of my bankroll.

Need to quit max betting and play more craps.

BM, you had some really nice wins on your trip. At least you have BR left, so you can say it wasn't a total bust.

Wish I had a backup like craps that is a great run for sure

Is that the east tower or west tower? Pretty good size room

[CTslotters]

Glad the dice dug you out of the hole a bit! Thanks for the pics, one question, is that a tiny 19" tv in the room, or does it just look small in the picture, almost like a computer monitor.
