The Rise of the Biggest Little City: An Encyclopedic History of Reno Gaming, 1931-1981 | 
pickSince I live in Reno, I wanted to learn about its history with gambling. Gaming is what they call it here. Bygone names like Blondy‘s Bar, Bank Club and Jelly Blackman illustrate a colorful history with casinos, bars and gamblers. Starting with bingo, clubs went on to roulette, poker, crap tables, wheels and slot machines. A mighty empire for some, fun or heartbreak for others. Today there‘s big name entertainment and great food. Interesting read.
