If anyone's been considering a trip to Reno, I've posted a lengthy trip
report on the VPFree Reno group.
Here's my executive summary on Reno:
Reno continues to be a very nice alternative to Vegas. The airport
hassles are a mere fraction of what must be dealt with in LV, road
traffic is minimal and the people are generally quite a bit
friendlier. The VP blows away what's available at most high-end LV
joints, and the money that can be earned on table games play compared
to LV is laughable. Try finding a playable single deck game in LV
these days. Hahaha. No, there's no cashback for VP players, but the
bounceback is high enough at the joints where I play (SLegacy and
Peppermill) that it makes it a wash. Comps are as good as in LV (if
not better), rooms are decent and food is acceptable. The better VP is
puuuure profit. If you haven't been to Reno lately, do yourself a
favor and give it some consideration.
