About 2/3s the way between Boise ID to Reno NV, is the small town of Winnemucca NV. A lazy sleepy town with little industry and 3 casinos. We stayed at the Model T Casino Campground, a definite "I will forget this place soon." park. Upon arriving, I was rudely told it was necessary for me to go through the entire casino to register us at the hotel desk. I entered the door and the first thing I noticed was the dirty dingy carpeting. It was suppose to be red (I saw a clean spot by the check-in counter) but had so much dirt and muck on it it was black. Yucky!.......Needless to say, we did not play this casino. I could not get passed the carpet and the fact that it was so dark. So we went to one of the other 2 casino, "The Winner's Casino". A very impressive small casino. We ate at the restaurant, "Grandma's House" and it was delicious. We had Prime Rib which was very tender and rare, just the way we like it. Then I played for a while and won a few bucks. The impressive thing was, you saw people winning all throughout the casino. Hopefully, we never have to return to Winnemucca but if we do, we will stop at the Winner's, if for no other reason, the Prime Rib.
We are in Sparks-Reno area now and I will write again soon, so be sure to check back.
