OK , I will give a little trip report to keep everyone in the mood for Reno.
We left Portland on Southwest last Monday and had a great filght into Reno. We took taxi($20 w/tip) to the Fitz. They dont have their own shuttle and its a guess when the city shuttle will come. Checked in Fitz and headed for second floor bar for a cool one. Our favorite bartender is John.. I played slots and hubby played craps and Keno. Neither one of us had any big win. We went to Limericks for prime rib dinner which was great as always. We each won a little after dinner and then gave up early as we were tired. Tuesday we had breakfast at Mollys which was OK.
We walked to the Sienna, played some nickle poker and looked at bar to see if any gentleman Laughing

with bird on his shoulder was there but alas no one there. We then went to Cal Neva and played on some of the old train machines. It was fun and we came out ahead. Then we went through Harrahs but didnt see any machines I wanted to play. On to ElDorado where I had fun on Mr. Cashman machine. I always end up back at the Fitz playing my favorite Triple Diamond machine. I hit $300. I played so long that hubby went to dinner and I stayed on my machine till I was ready to quit for the day. Erdnesday, breakfast at ElDorado buffet which is always good and more Mr. Cashman and other machines there.
Hubby making bets and still playing Keno and craps. Nothing big to report
I must admit that in all the years we have gone to Reno, I had never had the Awful-Awful. So we went and split one. Now I know what you are talking about!!!It was great. Thursday was last day and we had breakfast at Fitz buffet which we liked better since they now have a omlette station.
WE played until time to rake shuttle back to airport. All in all we had a a really good time with lots of
cool ones(we had the badges), the weather was beautiful but in the end we left some money for all of you who are going to Reno soon to pick up.
I wish you all big wins. Barb

Come to think of it, Barb, the birds kept saying, "Siena, Siena", but I had no idea what they were talking about.

Glad you had a good trip.

The Bird Man was banned from the Siena for making suggestive remarks to Mark, the bartender on Center St. Actually, he was banned because of the response he received. Maybe more on this later.
