Without warning on December 29, 1997, the Nevada Club, a fixture for decades on Reno's Virginia Street, closed its doors forever. One of the oldest casinos in the state of Nevada, the club opened in 1946 and lived long enough to celebrate its golden anniversary.
While the Nevada Club experienced a decline in business duringits final years, it was the favorite of many gamblers. Ofparticular interest were the mechanical slot machines dating fromthe 1940s and the general lack of ostentation in the club. Thiswas a place lost somewhere back in the mid-1960s, and that's justwhat a lot of folks liked.
The closest the Nevada Club came to a restaurant was a greasyspoon diner by the name of Kilroy's, situated upstairs by theKeno counter. The plastic glitz of the Planet Hollywood, nextdoor at Harrah's, could have been a continent away and not a soulwould have missed it. Now Kilroy's broken neon sign is justanother fixture waiting for the lucky bidder to come over andtake it away. You see, the Kilroy sign, along with the oldJennings slots and the Keno board and everything right down tothe napkin dispensers were auctioned off January 24,1998. If youmissed it, as I did, then you've run out of luck. Myfavorite old Jennings quarter slot machine, the one I emptied somany times I called it the Miracle Machine,is gone forever in someone's collection. Here's a picture of asimilar Nevada Clubslot machine. Rumor has it you can still pick up aNevada Club Blackjack table down on South Virginia for $950.
Other rumors abound on Virginia Street. Harrah's allegedlybought the Nevada Club (see update below), which makes perfect sense when youenvision Harrah's tentacles reaching up the block grabbingeverything in sight. A few years back it was the First InterstateBank on the corner which Harrah's turned into that burger jointfrom another planet (with mediocre burgers for $8.50). UPDATE July 2003: Along with everything else on Virginia Street, the Planet Hollywood has closed. Now Harrah's, the largest gaming concernon this planet, has replaced the classic mechanicalslots with modern versions that have video screens and make a lotof noise. After all, that's what it takes to hold the attentionof today's 'gaming guest'. I can't imagine if Bill Harrah wasalive that he would have allowed all his old mechanical Paceslots to be phased out..as his namesake company did awhile back.There's still a handful of 16 old mechanicals at Bill's SouthLake Tahoe Casino, and an employee told me those were the lastmechanical slot machines available for public play anywhere inthe state of Nevada. Based on the hundreds of emails I'vereceived on the subject, it seems one of the older casinos wouldhave the good sense to re-introduce some mechanical slots just fornostalgia's sake as a way to pull in some verydiscriminating customers (Downtown Reno Nugget Casino, the friendliest casino in Nevada: ARE YOU LISTENING?). For those who are curious, I've heard all the old Pace slots from the nearby Harolds Club were purchased in a single lot and shipped to South Africa years ago.

And now for the really bad news. OnOctober 27, 1999 both the Nevada Club and Harold's weredemolished in preparation for Harrah's to take over the property.Of course this comes as no surprise. On this date, the property is a hugeempty lot between Harrah's and the Virginia Street Arch. As withso many buildings in Reno, the mentality is to tear it down, thenfigure out what to do with the land. Harrah's intends to use itas an 'urban plaza' and eventually proceed with some type ofdevelopment (Click here to see Harrah's urban plaza, 2002). In the meantime, the empty lot creates an evengreater visual gap than a boarded up casino. We now anticipateHarrah's will eventually use the property to construct Reno'snext example of today's standard in gaming entertainment, theever-popular Mega Casino.
Update, December 27, 2001
Downtown Reno continues its downward spiral towards oblivion. The Gambler casino has recently been boarded up, and the Flamingo is closed. Now there are more vacant lots, vacant buildings and pawnshops on the main block of Virginia Street than there are casinos. I think it's time to go to Tahoe.
Thanks for visiting the unofficial Nevada Club site.
Remember the Mapes!
On January 30,2000, at 8:03 a.m., the last great vestige of Reno's historicgaming past, the Mapes Hotel, passed into Nevada History. Thehotel was built in 1947 and was the last major American buildingcreated in the art deco style. It was the first to combine acasino, hotel and entertainment venue under the same roof.Numerous plans to save the structure were presented to Reno'sCity Council, but the Group of Seven apparently had its mind madeup long before the final vote in September, 1999, to blow up thehotel. A major campaign by preservation groups throughout thecountry, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation,resulted in further intractability by the Council. The effort tosave the Mapes even resulted in an editorial in the New YorkTimes castigating the city for its lack of foresight, to noavail. It should be noted that the building was on the NationalRegister of Historic Places, and was listed by the National Trustas one of the eleven most endangered builidings in 1998. Thiswas a significant building that should have been saved!
A Reno slot machine drawing on the magic of Aladdin, with a complicated pay-out scheme.
These days there’s a slot machine theme for every taste, from marine mammals to Sex and the City. (I’d have more photos of them, but photography inside the casinos is verboten.) The vast majority are standard, though, since it seems most people simply want to stuff their money in and push the buttons.
Coin-operated slot machines are passé (you put in folding money now, or your credit card) and there’s no need to pull a lever, just push a button. I wondered how much of the “process”, the “theatre”, can be removed before reducing the devotees’ dedication. No more levers, no paper bucket of coins measuring your success by its weight, no shower of coins sounding for every 10-nickel jackpot, shorter and shorter times for each spin of the reels… Can I just phone it in, say “I’ll bet $1000 on the quarter slots, here’s my credit card number and let me know if I won anything”? I used to think that the external signals (such as the sound of jackpot coins hitting the metal tray) were part of the conditioning to make a gambler keep going, but perhaps it is really internal rather than external; perhaps it’s all in the thoughts of the individual.
Walking around downtown Reno, I couldn’t believe that the city has over five million visitors each year. Where are they all? Where are the restaurants, tourist attractions, and services for them? Answer to both questions: in the casinos, which do their best to provide food and entertainment so guests never stray outside. The big hotel-casino where we stayed (the Nugget) didn’t even have free wi-fi in the rooms; they don’t want people relaxing in their rooms, no money to be made that way! In an open alcove adjoining the casino there was an in-house Starbucks that promised free wi-fi. Carrying my laptop down there to use it, then back up to the room, seemed irritatingly inconvenient, but then I’m not the “demographic”, psychologically speaking, for whom the Nugget is designed. My fun came from walking around taking photos of odd stuff one morning until it was time to head home.
The Truckee River runs through town and has been cleaned up quite a bit in recent years.
It was running shallow at this time of year. One area had been tarted up with faux gazebos and uncomfortable places to sit. It looked like a bit of alternative universe spliced into Reno’s dusty lower middle-class stay-in-and-gamble environment.
Kind of like putting London Bridge in the Arizona desert—oh wait, we did that, and it isn’t too bad.
Reno has its share of odd architectural (and other) juxtapositions.

I don’t know who the statue in the alcove is meant to represent, but certainly she’s from a different era.
Then again, she’s going somewhere holding a sheet around herself in lieu of clothing, so perhaps she has been to modern Reno after all.
No trip to Reno could be complete without featuring a Wedding Chapel, and here’s one that multi-tasks. Or so it seemed from across the street, and in this town, it could be true.

We saw two intriguing old fortune telling machines, relics that will soon be snapped up by collectors no doubt. Place your hands on the crystal ball (which has two electrodes visible, to gauge your temperature and sweat level, I’d guess)
and the Great Zambini will tell you all about yourself.
After that, if you’re wondering whether to proceed to the Wedding Chapel, stop first for a personalized answer to the perennial question, “What should you look for in a mate?”. The choices are Personality, Wealth, Looks, Shape, Brains, Height. Does it go on the principle of “opposites attract”, or “birds of a feather”? It was out of order, maybe overworked here in the one-time US capital of divorce, so we’ll never know.
I’m not really up on the souvenir biz but it is hard to imagine tackier products than we saw here.
Purses were big, and big sellers, with design motifs using tattoos, religion, faux fur, and celebrity worship (an entire Marilyn Monroe section).
Why someone would want to proclaim “Love…passion…Hate” on a handbag is a mystery to me. Well, enjoy!
For the retro crowd there was a t-shirt with this on the front,

perhaps for the foreign tourists. It’s a Western town, after all, with car shows, air races, and legal brothels outside the city limits.
They are also known for their licensed or “Systems” games such as “Wheel of Fortune” and the “Mega Bucks”. Slot machine vc co.
I didn’t see that painting in Reno; it is Albert Bierstadt’s Last of the Buffalo, 1888 (cropped). It might sell well on a t-shirt though.

More than one souvenir emporium promised moccasins as part of the bill of wares painted long ago on their front windows, but the only ones I found were these, made of course in China, for $19.99.
One more odd photo: this building had circles of reflective material in its glass façade and I liked the combination of light standard and reflection.

Then again this circular object could be one of those wormholes between alternate universes, which would account for much in Reno and elsewhere these days. I did find evidence that at least part of our Congress is active.
