Fred,

I am torn. (G) Reno is like really far! :o) Mapquest says that Reno is 448 miles from Vegas. That is 900 miles just driving there and back. Factor several hours for casinos and you pretty much should stay over night in Reno. I guess I could hit Parumph and a couple other small towns heading north.

Now Mapquest says Vegas to Laughlin is 96.90 miles. Laughlin to Yuma is 210.33 miles. Yuma to Primm is 280.11 miles and Primm to Vegas is 43 miles. So I could hit 12 casinos in Laughlin, Ft Yuma/Lake Havasu City and the casino in Parke Az, then hit the 5 casinos in Primm/Jean. I'm sure that going to Parke and Havasu is going to add 50 miles or so. That total comes up to around 700 miles, still much shorter than Reno.
