When Ed and I spent a month in Las Vegas in 2005, Ed bet $1 in nickles once. That was the entire amount he bet during our month there. So, you ask what are we doing in Reno. We're having a rest day before we start the long drive home. The room rate at Circus Circus is $59 US a night (including taxes) and it's a nice three star hotel. We've been staying in two star motels (Ed's found nice ones) that have been costing us more the $60 US a night so the two nights at Circus Circus is a bit of a treat.

Circus Circus has a mid way and circus acts. The acts run every half hour or so and last between 5 and 10 minutes.

Proof that I actually played a slot machine. I put my $5 in the machine and managed to play for about 15 minutes.
