Reno 911

Man, this place was exactly like the TV show. I don't think we saw more than 5 people our age the two days we were there. This was an unplanned stop, as we left Yosemite early due to not having any warm clothes. Got in and set up shop in a 4-star hotel called Siena and grabbed some food at Harrah's. Not before I got my first shower since San Diego (4 days) and chilled in a robe sipping wine with my boys. Then we were off and I was set to win all the money back I lost in Vegas. Ended up breaking even again and swore off Roulette forever, after another night of massive highs and crushing lows.

Next morning Joe and I pondered whether or not to get another massage, and decided against it. Hit the pool for a while and just relaxed, Reno-style. Later in the day went to check out the city more and became a little more impressed when we found a nice area. Then I decided to attempt suicide by eating nachos, onion rings, a huge sandwich and French fries, along with some dark beer. Felt the worst I have ever felt in my entire life and went to the bathroom to try and puke some of it out, but couldn't (no gag reflex). So I went back to the room, put the robe on, and digested for an hour. Back to the wonderful casino in Siena, and played 50 cent Roulette, vowing to play with my brain and not my heart (AKA trying not to lose $100+). Must have worked, because when all was said and done, I only lost 80 bucks. Woke up in the morning ready to get to Salt Lake City and will never be going to Reno again!
