KingKolzig,

 

If you want the inside info on Reno gambling, you need to read some Tony Bigcharles (sevencard2003).

Randomly skip around and read a dozen or so of his posts going back a few years.

Also check his huge thread at Roughing the Punter.  He has been around for years in various forums.

 

He really is nuts.  Not faking it like you.

I lived in Reno for like a month or two.

Some fucker stole all of my records (vinyl) and my laptop the first night I was in town.

That still hurts. So much good music, gone. 

 

I twice saw dudes trying to break into cars downtown and would follow them around and shit so they would leave. 

 

Fucked up city. There just isn't enough industry.

 

Also. the sportsbooks were weak. The Atlantis was the only decent one I recall. 

 

Tahoe is dope. You should live there if you can swing it.

There were only two really bad ones for me.  At a gas station when a guy went bananas and came after me, but I was taking my dogs to the park and just opened the back door of my car and then it got really funny.  He was screaming at me while I was doing sign language to his girlfriend that she had made a bad life choice and then he threw a candy bar at me and ran away.  The other one was where I lived.  One of the biggest drug dealers in Reno was in my complex and he was okay.  One of his clients wasn't.

 

Hangover is exactly right.  A single guy came back to his apartment (where I lived) one night from a concert and was shot in the back of the head for like $20 by someone who had followed him home from the concert.  It was in the parking lot by the street and he was just getting out of his car.

 

I'm not sure what you're looking for KK (!) but Hangover when I was there I remember telling JBD that I wanted to start a website called Fat Girls On BMX Bikes (The Women Of Reno).  There were hundreds of them.  If you can manage it, live in Truckee (much more expensive but a good town) or obviously Tahoe and then you can drive down the mountain to Reno. 

 

Kolzig can't afford Truckee or Tahoe, pal.  

 

Reno sounds kinda funny... adventurous.   :laugh

KK read the link that Slim posted.  That was mostly about Vegas.  Vegas/Henderson is a much better place to live than Reno.

 

That's a lot of distressed people.

 

I never found a good place for wings in Reno.  I don't think the food there is so good since it's designed to appeal to middle and lower middle-class whites which is like a culinary death sentence.  Most of the Chinese said "fuck Nevada" after building the railroad and ran back over the mountains to Sacramento and the Bay Area.  They took all their woks and pots and pans with them.

I've seen him in various pokerrooms around vegas over the years

 

Guy is a wreck, looks like he bathes maybe once a week, dandruff everywhere and mumbles to himself often...
