Reno and Sacramento GTGs November 15-16
 
The Agains will be in Reno November 15, Saturday - opened for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner GTG.

And on the way home will stop in Sacramento November 16 Sunday - lunch only.

Suggestions are welcome, but keep in mind, we won't have a car, should be close to Amtrak.

Are you sure you can pull Mr. Again away from those penny sluts? Pennies...sheesh, and the casinos wonder why their profits are down. :D Well, maybe he won't win anything. LOL Kidding, Faina...how big IS the "big one" on the pennies? Do they have a penny progressive? Shows you how often I gamble!!! LOL

Lunch perhaps? Holly or Pat?

Holly_uncasdewar Oct 15th, 2008 02:18 PM

Lunch.

FainaAgain Oct 15th, 2008 02:22 PM

Lunch it is. I'll see if I can park Mr Again at a machine :)

LoveItaly Oct 15th, 2008 02:31 PM

Well dear Faina, I am jealous,lol! You will be having lunch with crefloors. Lucky you!

FainaAgain Oct 15th, 2008 02:50 PM

You never told me you two met before!

I met Holly in Reno, this is why I'm going there :)

MichelleY Oct 15th, 2008 02:56 PM

Those slutty pennies will get you every time!! Watch out!

Oh sheesh - I can't even get SF next week worked out yet, and now another GTG?! :D

I'm good for lunch on Sunday . . . . . .

Oh rats, we just missed you and Mr. Again in Reno. We were there last weekend to surprise my sister (who had travelled from Nashville with DBIL) on her birthday.

We had a delicious dinner at Lexie's in the Siena Hotel. Make a reservation and ask to be seated by the windows, which overlook the river. We had a 7 pm reservation, but they also have an Early Bird Special nightly from 5 to 5:45 pm. Ambience, food, and presentation were very nice.

Good luck to the Mr. and his "sluts."

I've checked out a couple of restaurants near Silver Legacy, and there is one in Fitzgerald's that I remember: Molly's Garden.

Cannot find the menu anywhere, only $9-15 range, is this OK?

I hate soups, but for some reason, maybe it was included, I ate their potato leak soup. It was a few years ago, I still remember how wonderful it was! :)

I just don't know much about Reno's restaurants, and we won't have a car. I'm not especially attached to Molly's so please post suggestions.

As for Sacramento... opened to suggestions, and will do a search when I can.

Holly_uncasdewar Oct 16th, 2008 01:29 PM

Fitzgeralds closed a few weeks ago. I think they may be turning the place into condos, or something. I could do dinner if that works out better for you and Crefloors and whoever else may join us, but it would have to be after 7 pm.

FainaAgain Oct 16th, 2008 01:54 PM

But the website is up and running, nothing about closing!

Darn, it's scary, like balloon, dang, it's gone!

No, lunch is fine. I think. We'll need to decide where. Maybe room service in our hotel :))

FainaAgain Oct 17th, 2008 09:10 AM

I've started a separate thread for Sacramento only

http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=35162553

Killing the day with Sacramento research today :) will come back to Reno GTG next week.

crefloors Oct 17th, 2008 11:37 AM

Fitzgerals has been bought out by somebody who will eventually turn it into a non-gaming hotel if the plans go through as presented. It will be several years before it re-opens having to be all redone inside etc. I'm sure th economy isn't helping the project progress either.

Lunch would be better for me, if that works with the rest of yous guys. I'm terrible, I NEVER go down town. Isn't that AWFUL? My own town and I don't have a clue whats down there for eating except the casinos. I'm ashamed of myself.

FainaAgain Oct 17th, 2008 11:48 AM

Nobody goes to all areas where they live. Come down, I'll tell you all about it when we meet :)

Is it possible for us to meet at one of the restaurants in Silver Legacy, Eldorado or Circus Circus? Lunch is fine with me.

What time? Is noon OK? Earlier? Later? We don't have anything planned for this day, just "chill out", maybe souvenir shopping, penny gambling, catch up on sleep...

crefloors Oct 17th, 2008 03:12 PM

Noon is good...lets see what may work for others.

FainaAgain Oct 20th, 2008 08:15 AM

It seems there are no others :)

FainaAgain Oct 29th, 2008 09:49 AM

But I will top anyway :)

NeoPatrick Oct 29th, 2008 12:09 PM

Hmmm. Just thinking aloud here. Faina, why not combine these two GTG's and do a luncheon on board the Zephyr between Sacramento and Reno? :D

FainaAgain Oct 29th, 2008 12:16 PM

No train can handle Kal, this was my main fear :))
