No, I am not a gambler. But I wanted just see Reno before my onward drive to the next wonder of the nature – the Lake Tahoe…
In the internet I found interesting offer: a room in Sands Regency Hotel & Casino for 24 USD – it is lower price then in the motel!! Transfer from the airport is also included…
So I decided to take it. The room is excellent (remember: I am backpacker!) King size bed have capacity of 3 persons! They also offered 10 USD gift credit for gambling… Yes, I took it – I went to the slot machine to try my luck and after few minutes I had 16 USD in quarters in my pocket. So: 24 minus 16 = 8 – this is the real cost of my king size bed….
Downtown Reno is small enough to walk around. The real face of the “small Las Vegas” is visible after dusk – when all neons and lights are on – but one evening is just enough to stay here.
Try your luck while in Reno and go to the Public Library for free internet access!
