I worked the summer of 1966 at Harrahs Tahoe in the slot dept and Hanks/Bonanza club was
one of my favorite hangouts. It didn't look anything like the Riverboat. I wish I had taken
a picture but I have vivid image of it in my mind! The bar and casino were in two separate
rooms. The bar preceded the casino by three years and the sign out front only said Hank's.
You can read about the place in one of my Phil's Forays articles, including the time the
sheriff pulled a gun on a player, I wrote about fifteen years ago in the club magazine.
