anything changed in reno/tahoe

[ccl]

has anything really changed in this area the last 2 years or so? I used to be in tahoe and reno every weekend, but havnt been back in 2 years. Im heading home around aug. 1 (i know hot aug. nights is then) and planned on taking my wife to reno/tahoe for her first trip over there. anything good or bad there anymore? I used to play the lakeside, caesars (before it became monteblue) and harrahs/harveys, and reno mainly circus circus and silver legacy with some play at el dorado. I know too many pc's at circus to really want to play much there

silver legacy and sienna would be my picks downtown. maybe throw in Fritz if they are dealing more than 2 rounds per deck.

ive never been to the sienna, where is that located exactly? i havnt really been to much more than a couple casinos in sparks (for dinner only) and the big 4 or 5 casinos downtown around circus circus, i used to like the high limit pit at the el dorado on weekdays when its down to $10 a hand

The Siena is located at 1 South Lake St. If you're driving south on Va. Street from the El Dorado etc. just hang a left at Mill St. (just past Harrah's) and you'll run right into it. It's got the hottest SD in town on several levels i.e. DOA and great pen. It also ranks in the top three among casinos which have inflicted the most casualties upon the members of this forum, so beware, don't exceed 1:4 spread and keep your sessions below one hour/ day and avoid slow shifts.
Other items of note, without getting too specific, are the SD, DD games at the El Dorado, Silver Legacy, Peppermill and Atlantis. Have fun!!

The grand sierra (old Hilton) has pretty good SD (awsome pen) as long as you stay out of the party pit (only pay 6 to5 there).

I took a walk around the SL and was put off by the number of 6:5 games.

Circle Jerkus is kind of a mess, crowded and bad pen, but if you can get away from those problems you can get away with a lot there. There's no place with a guaranteed good game on Virginia St., just hit-and-miss.

i was just staying there due to free or even cheap rooms that i dont have to play to get, but i figured i woiuld go to the main casinos there or even teh ones downtown and out of the way ie.. atlantis, peppermill, etc.. im going with my wife who hasnt ever been so she will probably want to see most places

For SL look for the DD game.Pen is average to good depending on the dealer. There 1d game seems to keep switching back and forth between 6-5 bj and 3-2 bj. They cant seem to make up there minds?
