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. 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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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...

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?
