Just got back from roaming around Reno / Lake Tahoe. Monday night after work, the in-laws and gang jumped into the loaded cherokee and went to reno. Ride was ok, and make it there around 10pm, everything seemed ok till the check in line at Circus Circus. They had 2 service folk for a line that snaked around the new lobby area. After a while they got up to 5 people. Took an hour to check in. I haven't stayed in cirus circus in a while, and with all their upgrades from a while back seem to do a pretty good job. The rooms are nicely done except that the walls are slightly thin. We could hear the people talking as they were walking down the hallway and the neighbors.
Tuesday, I decided to head off to Mt. Rose for some boarding action. The drive was short, about 25min. Got there around 9:30, high winds and some snowing called for the Extreme Weather gear. Changed and everything and went to the ticket booth, they tell me that 2 out of the 6 lifts are open. And the 2 lifts only went to noobland. They told me that the weather was going to be bad all day. So, half day pass at 44$ for 2 lifts into noobieland? nah, i'll pass.
Got back around 10:30am, went shopping and gambled for a bit (unsuccessfully) at the peppermill. Ate and floated back.. the only thing that was good is: 1) Raspberry Lemonade Martini and 2) RazzDropTini... yea baby! And of course at the Roxy Bar. I think i've tried 7 out of the 102 Martinis.. Danged high potent things.
Today, got the weather and a storms a coming. The view from the hotel room showed doom and gloom arriving. We bailed and drove by South Lake Tahoe and then ate at Placerville. It was raining like a savage till placerville and eventually got to the vacaville outlet mall.. oi, outlet action once again.
Survived and got back.
Wee! Now to work tommorrow. ugh!
