calling Vegas Gourmet,,laughlin or reno ?

or anyone else with thoughts or comments on this one,,while you know I love Vegas I am thinking of expanding my Nevada travels during my next visit in early march,,would weather be a factor in early march with laughlin due south and reno to the north (looks like about a 500 mile difference to me without doing any number crunching) - about 2 hours by car to the south for laughlin it appears and Southwest Air could connect me to Reno in about the same amount of time, was wondering if you had any suggestions as far either locale goes as far as enjoying some R&R time in either town,,thank you in advance Sir as you know I hold your opinons in extremely high regards - B Well

I live near Sacramento, Ca. I go to Reno & Tahoe maybe once a month. I would stick with Las Vegas. I don't know anything about laughlin, But Reno is a hole in the wall. If you are coming North I suggest South Lake Tahoe. One hour car ride from Reno Airport. Alot cleaner and the Lake is beautiful. Harrah's casino would be my recommendation.

But from the East coast my only destination would be Las Vegas

Laughlin is much different than Vegas, 8 casinos, nothing near as nice as Wynn, Manadalay etc.  Colorado River makes it worth a visit.

Reno would be a better choice, especially in March.  You can drive an hour to Tahoe and go skiing or boarding.  Not to mention much better casinos and restaurants in Tahoe, much bigger than Laughlin.

thank you Sir- always appreciate your input and thoughts- thanks for the heads up

chineseitmetric,,mikado ,,thanks for responding guys- it is appreciated

going to vegas in nov. week of thanksgiving with a friend. staying at the rio! first time in vegas back in '02 stayed at the golden nugget, was okay but this time wanting to party more than the last time i was there,  this time round! have fun in march nc1capper.

Gotta tell you, nc1.........

If it wasn't for Las Vegas, I would not have moved out here. Nevada is just not one of those states that offers much quality of life....unless I like mountains, fishing, hunting (lots of guns), a top-tier RV, etc etc....and that's just not me.

reno is dirty!

Reno is quality.  The Peppermill is as good as any casino awesome sportsbook with plently of individual TVs.  Id stay here or the Atlantis.  Downtown Reno is cool 5 or 6 casinos within walking distance and easy parking I dont htink you need to stay there but the rooms at Harrahs, El Dorado, Silver Legacy, adn Circus arent bad.  The Nuggett and Grand Sierra are isolated very nice casinos but I think Id go for Peppermill or Atlantis to stay.

 

If you like downtown vegas you will LOVE reno.

 

Im hoping in January to go for a few weeks during football playoffs and bouncce back and forth between Tahoe and maybe go down to LA for a few days.  Dont really want to spend money renting a huge SUV to get to the mountains though I dunno how a little economy will do getting me to Kirkwood.

thank you- seems to be the general feeling thruout this thread - thank you for thoughts on this one
