That is sad what Reno has become. Went there several times for work. Downtown was safe because police were on Bicycles, and Cars all over.

I moved to Reno in 1977, and thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Great, fun place to live, raise a family and make a living.
When I left in 1986, it had doubled in size, and had started to become the mad house it is today.

Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

This idea of selling my Gold Crown IV and purchasing a new Gold Crown VII is somewhat picking up steam with me.

I wonder if there is any place in central or southern Indiana that might have a Gold Crown VII that I could go and check out?

Perhaps Orner Billiards in Indianapolis?

As for checking out the table. When the (black) 6 came out I took a ride to look and hated it. I want see to the 7 also ..... must be love at first sight and we'll go from there.

What is the best bet for purchasing a GC7? I prefer the same company to buy from and have it installed. S. Florida Brunswick authorized dealers are club house grade. I can back that up. Brunswick authorized sellers are as bad as Diamond. Anyone willing to set up their table is authorized.
How does this get sorted out? Buying the table is not the concern. It's finding a mechanic willing to spend what ever time it takes to make everything right...no short cuts, extra parts, loose bolts, etc. Done with hackers..
If I move forward I will sell the 1pice 9'Diamond Professional for a more than fair price. Light use and mostly 1p played on it. Question is ...who is going to install the 7?

Truth from someone who has lived Neveda. Recall living in El Dorado County, just up hill was Stateline Neveda. Ever casino had great buffet & gambles special rooms, meals.

Last time I was up there it all went pricy like Las Vegas.

New business model must be working. But I wonder how long it will last?

Reno has the Peppermill, Atlantis and GSR, all well removed from the old downtown 'strip'. They are all nice and removed from the madness, along with the Sparks Nugget. Downtown Reno is in disrepair. Went to a Reno Aces game several years ago and downtown was overrun with homeless and meth freaks. Never again without a handgun.

Las Vegas has changed, it use to be a bargin to go there for a weekend.

Recall going in late 90’s weekly, Midnight to 6am Breakfast Special were every where. Buffets were great & reasonable.

Today most of those specials are gone. Hotel's charge to park even if your a guest, resort fee are add to room rates.

Las Vagas has Pro Sport Team s now. Raiders, Knight, and A’s are coming I hear. Raiders Fan from LA & Bay Area are in Sin City pay premium for tickets.

My Cousin has lived there over 15+ years, he also says good old Las Vegas deals are gone. He has been Raider Fan for life, but can not afford a home game ticket in nose bleeds.

I have long list of things I love but Las Vegas has not seem me since 2008.

Love a good Taco's on Taco Tuesday from local place, love a Cold Pacifica Beer, love a good Hand Rolled Cigar, love most good Chinese feed.

I am not a gambler, if I was can drive 20 minute to two New Indian Casinos. They are both new, clean, have good food courts, and restaurants for the blue collar class, or those with money will to drop big buck for Haute Causine..

I've lived in Nevada for almost 50 years, and Las Vegas has changed probably more than other places, including Reno. It was a lot of fun in the 70's and 80's.
I've avoided LV whenever possible for over 20 years.
Last Christmas, I bought my wife two tickets to the AC DC concert this weekend (yeah, August in Las Vegas). thank god one of my daughters agreed to go with my wife so that I don't have to go.
Forecast is 115-117 for the weekend.
No thanks!
