@fehquig Reno was the biggest city in Nevada for many years. The population of Las Vegas in 1945 was around 5,000 people, and all the casinos were on Fremont Street.
I watched a travel film on Reno tonight on YouTube that was made in 1943; the narrator states that most of the people who lived in Nevada at that time lived within thirty miles of Reno, so it's easy to see that Reno was THE place to gamble (legally) in the United States until Las Vegas developed the Strip in the 1950s.

My family stopped in Reno to eat lunch at Harold's Club on the way to California from Kentucky in the summer of 1966. I didn't make it back for twenty five years, and the place was still there, and it looked exactly how I remembered it. Sadly, it was torn down in the mid 1990s. It was once the busiest casino in the world; there was even a billboard sign for "Harold's Club: Reno or Bust!" on US 27 in Jessamine County, Kentucky.

Incredible! And to think I never heard of it but I hadn't been to Reno before 1999.

Thanks for posting. That was a nice, casual look at downtown Reno. I live in the San Francisco bay are and try to make it to Reno 5 or 6 times a year. It's alot more laid back and friendly than Vegas. It's not over built and in your face like Vegas either. The temperature is pretty good too. Thanks again for making this and putting it on You Tube.
