... as Rick would say. Dang! Fitz is closing, better get down there! Looked through my stuff and I don't have a current room offer from the joint so... screw 'em!

Here's the link to the newspaper piece: http://www.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081001/BIZ04/810010421/1071/BIZ The hotel will re-open without gaming, turns out the mayor's kid isn't any better at casinos than Dad.

I spent a lot of time there the last few years and got more than a few good stories from the place and fell in love with some of the ladies dealing at Fitzgerald's. My last pass through Reno after this year's convention I did manage to earn free room across the street at Eldorado so I'll still have a place to land next trip. Sienna's tighter than a tick but at least they'll feed me now and then.

Guess I have until 11/30 to get to Reno. Put my GF to work playing slots somewhere might earn us something. Found out she used to work accounting for Harrah's when Bill was still alive, pretty cool and I've got plenty of questions for her about all that!
