Found this poorly reported item in the Reno: paper http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060808/BIZ04/608080324/1071/BIZ Possibly the article is about a makeover (or something) at the Ormsby House in Carson City that has been going on for 6 years and counting. Doh! This Old Joint?
Feel like I'm overhearing some locals passing the time at the Top Deck but there was this interesting sentence:
It also is operating a small casino with an unrestricted license in the Ormsby Club bar to the west of the main hotel tower as the construction continues.
I had no idea. Pass by this ramshackle on my way to Tahoe. Perhaps I'll head south outa Reno later this month, negotiate my way through 800 pickup trucks, bump over the cattle guard and find myself once again dragging the gut in Nevada's capitol city. sigh. But, if they got chips...
Anybody got any current info on this place, I don't want to make the trip for a slot joint. Here's some junk I found on my desk by Duke Nukem 3D, a stereo speaker and some air-tites.
