Reno sucks dude. It sucks for poker, it sucks for culture and night activities. If you like rolling hills and cigarette smoke and playing keno next to divorcees hit up Reno.
Right on, Nat. I lived in Las Vegas from '98-'06. It has its charms. But I was charmed out by '06 for sure. I love Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire and Mt. Charleston, even if the wild horses on the ski slopes can get a bit shirty, as the Brits say.
I'm surprised that poker would suck in Reno. There's at least 8 places in close proximity to each other that offer it. You'd think competition would force them to offer better games. I could be wrong. One thing I do know is that know-it-all yokels are just as easy to fleece as tourists. They're basically tourists who haven't traveled anywhere. And I can't help but think that there'd be less sharks making a career at the tables there.
I don't plan on staying there, but as a startup/development league, I think I could do worse.
