Like it said, just got home from 4 days in Reno......rolled into town about 10:00pm on thursday, got our usuall rooms at the calneva (always ask for Mark and tell him Rob sent ya) the nicer remodeled rooms up on 16, then the 4 of us jetted down to the bar for a few adult beverages....after about two or ten we made it to the tables.....ups and downs but mostly just more drinks and fun........till about 3:00am then we took a cab down to shooters.....I know its only 2 blocks away but its a bummer if ya fall down...so off in the cab we went. As always they mix a stiff drink and thats enough said about shooters//less ya been there.

Friday....Up at about noon then down to the little nugget for some chicken fried steak and eggs.....man it was gooood.....more gamblin at the calneva, cashed out 600 up on a video poker...and I never play vidio poker......went over to Harrahs to check out the rapid roulette.....I hated it, something about not touching the chips........
Then we drove out to the Nugget in sparks...it was the first time I had ever been there.....I really liked it, I would stay there in a heartbeat!!!!
Anyrate we ended up eating at trader dicks.....one of the best meals I had ever had...really! The baked alaska was icing on the cake at the end of the meal.....we had the steak....1 1/2 thick and you could cut it with a fork.......

Friday....My wife played in the poker turney at the CalNeva....out in the 1st round..so sad!! More gambling to the wee hours....agian no big hits, but plenty of fun.....if I was looking to get rich, I'd stay home and work.
But still woke up sat morn with more chips then I started with..seems most of my reds has turned to greens and a few blacks......

Sat....Up bright and early at noon, off for a coffee at starbucks.....more of the same....drinkin & gamblin ain't life great!

Sat night we went to the magic show (two for one coupons on this site) this is the 5th time we have seen Kalin & Jinger....twice at the flamingo, and two times at the big hilton......much larger then, but now a little smaller......but still great!! highly recomended if ya need a break.

Sunday.....breakfast..........then motor on home to Bend Oregon.

I know, alittle more mello then our average trips....no new tattoo's and no bail money was needed.....but mucho fun was had by all

Thanks for lookin....Slacker

Slacker,
Your in the "click" group. Laughing

Thanks for posting your trip report. Sounds like you had a great time.

So do you plan on making it back down again this summer?

Wow, a trip report. I love it. Sorry that I missed it for a few days but I was up in your hometown. Staying in Bend for three days and playing softball in Redmond. It was hot but a whole sight better than southern OR when we returned.
Enjjoyed your report. Sounded like a fun, relaxing time and that's what I go for.

Still, Slacker, I don't know if we can fully accept you as yet into the inner "clique" but keep patronizing Shooters and you will be on your way.

Nice report. I have also had a memorable meal at Trader Dicks. I do have a question about Shooters. You said something about enough said unless you have been there. What happened? It seems to be something of an inside joke here on this forum. I guess I need to check it out myself?

Hey, we all loved your trip report, especially us Cal-Neva fans, but if you're not feeling the love, look at the "Views" column - even if people don't post replies, your trip report is definitely being vicariously experienced by us hard-core Reno fans...we can practically smell the pungent waft of Cal-Neva's unique blend of amonia, citrus disinfectant, and smoke-grime-sweat that makes the whole experience such a charming plethora of sensual input.

If we fail to post responses, it's because we are too busy dreaming of bellying up to a Cal-Neva low-minimum blackjack table and beginning a lonng stretch of free-drink inhalation, resplendent in the lurid glow of neon and fluorescent light, and serene in the anticipation of an entire evening's merriment and indulgence to come.

So thanks again!

sorry, I just needed to feel a little love!

It's like when I'm yacking at the table...I know your listening, but a one sided conversation is tough.

As for Shooters....words alone do not explain, experiance it for yourself.

Great TR Slacker! Don't know why I hadn't seen your post before today. I too am a Cal Neva fan, it is the first casino my wife and I ever stayed at. I'm heading for Reno in the morning (with wife) and I can't wait to try my luck at the video poker machines and my wife will take her usual withdrawal from the Flip-Flop ATM machine (slot machine). Hope I have as much fun as you did. Wish me luck!!

I apologize, Slacker. I would have told you that I loved you. But, had I done so, John would have told my wife (see post under Reno comments).
