[QUOTE=joelshitshow;21032]I will be in Reno for the Nevada State Poker Championship May 5-10, and I was wondering if anyone had a list of unique sports books in Reno. In other words, how many different books are there in town, and what's the easiest way to visit all of them? I'll have a car, but I am trying to make as few trips as possible, so if there were a way to do only Atlantis, Peppermill and downtown, I would love that, but I am sure there may be an outlier in Sparks, for example.
No need to mention North Lake Tahoe, Carson or Stateline ones. Just Reno/Sparks is fine. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
The only outlier in Sparks is the Western Village (a Peppermill satellite), but it's way out of the way and not near anything. Ascuaga's Nugget is the only first class casino in Sparks, and it features a Leroy's. Baldini's and Rail City are Satellites for Cal-Neva, but for security reasons, you're better off ignoring them.
As for the Peppermill, you can get some very juicy numbers there, but the limits are miniscule, and if you're betting nickels on totals, be prepared to fade 3 supervisors coming out and giving you the evil eye.
As for downtown, the only things available are the Cal-Neva, Harrah's, and the MGM line available at Silver Legacy and Circus-Circus. One fyi is that the Circus there is several cuts above the one in Vegas; they're very, very liberal with comps, and they do have a great sushi restaurant and steakhouse.
If this is your first trip to Reno, prepare to be underwhelmed. The place is a ghost of what it used to be.
