We moved to the Atlantis Casino in Reno. Very convenient place to stay. Nice lot that allows overnight parking, a nice market and the public library next door, and easy access to all the rest of Reno. Lou and Dawn have visits to all the thrift shops planed. Also a pet store and ceramic shop are planed visits. And, there will likely be a visit or two to the casinos. I plan to relax, mostly.
For dinner, we went downtown to the El Dorado. The buffet was excellent and also the earliest to open, a significant factor in our choice since we were very hungry. Everything was excellent, not the norm for buffets. We then explored the casinos, El Dorado, Silvery Legacy and Circus Circus. We all won enough to cover the cost of dinner and our playing time. Also not the norm.
While the days can get quite hot here in Reno, it cools off nicely in the evening and stays nice well in to the morning.. Today will supposedly get to the mid 90's but now at 10:00am, it's still very nice. Lou fixed some nice breakfast burritos and then prepared a map for their attack of the thrift shops.
While I updated the blog and handled other business, they went over to the Atlantis. When I was done an hour or so later, I joined them. The morning flew by and it was time for lunch. Dawn was thinking Basque food so off we went to Louis's Basque Corner, 301 E Fourth St. We've eaten here before. We had a pork chop lunch and rabbit lunch, and a "set-up" (as in everything except a main dish. plenty for us all. We do like Basque food. Bakersfield is famous for it and we often eat it there. Reno is probably the second best area for it.
After lunch, Lou and Dawn took off with their list of shops, many very near the restaurant. I walked back downtown.
The Western States Tow Show was still going on. There were all sorts of tow trucks, especially big rig wreckers. Neat stuff. They were playing picking up buses, and big trucks with the wreckers. I had to watch.
While I watched, all the fire trucks in town responded to a three alarm fire in the Silvery Legacy Hotel. It was a minor fire, a little smoke puffing from the roof of the fourth floor. The same floor and right next to where we parked the car yesterday.
After their shopping binge, Lou and Dawn picked me up and we returned to the RV for a taco salad for dinner in the RV.
