Return from Reno

We just got home from a trip to Reno, where we stayed at one of our  favorite casinos, the Atlantis.  They may have the best variety of good video poker anywhere in the country.  Whatever denomination or format you prefer, you will probably find a machine that fits your requirements.

There is a lot to like at the Atlantis besides the gaming.   The personnel are very friendly and give unusually warm service in all departments.  There is a good variety of restaurants, with their deli being our very favorite.  The spa offers an extensive menu of services.  And we love their pools.  In the summer we enjoyed the outdoor one, but on this visit, the nicely heated indoor one was the perfect relaxation spot after a long session at the machines. 

We expect Reno to give us a cool break from the Vegas heat in the summer, and, of course, we expected it to be much colder than Vegas in December.  We packed our heavy winter jackets, but to our surprise we didn’t need them at all.  In fact, the day we arrived it was warmer there than when we left Vegas – and it was unseasonably warm the rest of our visit.

We had a great time being a “tourist,” a relaxing change from our normal schedule here in Vegas. But it is always good to get back home!
