Hi gang. Made a short trip to Reno a couple of days ago. I got
comped for two free nights at the Circus but still wasn't going to
go because I thought the airline fares were kinda high, but when
SWA offered $138 from PDX to RNO I decided what the heck.
By the way, starting April 3rd, SWA is going to have a little
competition from Alaska's first nonstop service from Portland.
Not that I have anything against SWA, but I do like Alaska's
non-expiration mileage plan, plus assigned seating. Alaska
always had flights to RNO from PDX but they were via SEA, which
never made much sense to me. Anyway they're starting with a
single ns flight leaving PDX at 12:45 p.m., and returning to PDX
from RNO at 2:10 p.m.
In my short visit to Reno I discovered that even though Circus still
has their 25¢ 8/5 progressive JOB at the bars, other slant tops
both downstairs and upstairs are 9/6 now. I also discovered that
Fitzgerald's has changed their 25¢ 8/5 JOB to 9/6.
For those of you that might be interested in the Siena
Hotel/Casino in Reno there have been some very good articles
(both pro and con) written about it lately on the Vegas VP web
page (for whatever reason they're on the Vegas web page I'm not
sure) at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vpFREE/messages .
