A Vacation to Reno

What?, you say. Micaela, you live in Reno! Yes, yes I do. however, Randy and I decided it would be fun to have a few alcoholic libations and tour downtown Reno as if we were tourists on vacation.
I am surprised at how well this picture turned out, considering how many beverages I had consumed buy this point...

Anyway, we started out at the Nugget downtown, and looked in at the home of the Awful Awful. Too expensive and too much food! I wanted more of a snack. So the next casino is the Fitzgerald's, and Randy decided we should "Ride the Rainbow."

Riding the Rainbow consists of following a random trail of tube lighting embedded in the carpet inside the Fitzgerald's. Of course, we got distracted by a few things along the way, namely a lounge singer. I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, Randy was convinced he could do a better job than the man singing, and he showed everyone what a wonderful musician he was by singing with the lounge singer. Or more precisely, singing OVER the lounge singer. With his own made up words. People were staring. I didn't mind.

As we made our way up and over the train trench (aka the Rainbow), I slammed my arm into the railing near the escalator. I still have the bruise to prove damages to the Fitzgerald's in case I decide to sue.

We then headed over to Harrah's (I think). This is where it gets fuzzy, and once Randy reads this blog, he'll be sure to correct me on every detail. But I was intoxicated! Intoxication messes with the memory.

Eventually we ended up at the Cal-Neva where we had 2 tacos and 1 draft beer for $1.50 and 1 hot dog and 1 draft beer for $2.00! Can't beat that, I say! We had some money left over, so we decided to go play Simpsons' bowling in the arcade, where the machine was broken. And of course, by this time, I had to take some more pictures.
