My original intent was for the Reno posts to just fizzle out with a few items from places that probably didn’t have gambling.
B Flat Lounge
2800 S Virginia St
Reno
Bambinos
136 N Virginia
Reno
Club PJ
2660 S Virginia
Reno
Vasser-Wells Music Hall
corner of Vasser and Wells
Reno
Wonder Lodge
430 Lake St
Reno
But then…while scanning phone books for the chip guide, I ran across some casino ads that I hadn’t scanned before…and some of them are pretty fabulous! Since I’d already passed their places in the alphabetical daily Reno posts, I decided to add them to the final Reno post.
Today is also the day for you to show us any Reno items that you haven’t shown off yet…like the Virginia Bar, as an example…
Enjoy!

Apparently this club suffered from an identity crisis! Kling says the address was 1585 S Virginia St, then notes that the actual address was on Lakeside Ave at the west end of Walts Street. “Between 1939 and 1945 the club had three different names, used interchangeably—La Hacienda, the Cedars, and the Cedars La Hacienda” according to Kling.
