Today we'll be talking about the Overland Hotel/Overland Casino that was located in Reno, Nevada from the early 1900s up until 1977. Originally starting as a hotel and then later converting into a casino it was in Reno for a long time. It's first glimpse of gaming was in the 30s and then it would finally get into gaming fully in the late 50s and early 60s when Pick Hobson purchased the property. He did a full revamp, did the interior, opened the first floor for the casino and the place was filled with early-Comstock décor. This is another casino that many love to build casino chip sets out of and they are some of the most awesome chips, although a very simple inlay, that Reno and the world saw and still do! Chips from 10 cents all the way to $100. Later Harrah's would lease the Overland and the casino closed the next day. Then, getting demolished to make way for Harrah's parking garage.
