We had booked rooms in Atlantis, a huge gamble hotel in Reno. The first floor is covered with thousands of gambling machines, which operated day and night. Though it was the low season just prior Presidents Day, there were many gamblers. Of course we did not gamble a cent, but just took advantage of that hotel so close to the skiing area’s. Reno lies in the desert but on the mountain, the base is 2400m, is excellent snow. We enjoyed Mount Rose and went to Squaw Valley. Excessive lift tickets of $58 spoiled the fun a little.
