Reno: The Dirtiest Little City in the World

Now no offense to the classy areas of Reno such as where my cousins live and where our friend Chelsea lives and where the nice big stores are but... Reno is pretty dirty. It's like the kind of place where you are walking into a casino thinking "This just isn't Vegas". Not that I've ever been to Vegas (Tina we need to go!!!) but I just know it's classier than Reno. 

This weekend we drove out to Reno to visit our friend Chelsea who just had her little baby boy Andrew Marcus. He is absolutely adorable! I think he's almost two months old and he's so big and strong already. We were also there to celebrate an early birthday for Anthony whose birthday is in a few days and for Robby whose birthday was last week. We were so lucky to visit my mom's cousins Michael and Thea as well while we were there. It was a BUSY weekend for sure.

First we met this little cutie for the first time. Needless to say... I fell in love.

Kim and Donald still had all their Christmas stuff up in the house. I will say one thing for a snowy town and that is that it makes for a longer Christmas season. Lucky bums.

Helloooooo Reeeennnooooooo

We were so hungry we could have died right then and there. So naturally we ordered too much food.

My lovely husband and his adorable faces. I kid. I kid. What is it with those faces?

I guess I shouldn't complain. This face is... interesting.

I discovered allergies in Reno. That was a joyous tissue filled time.

I LOVE the El Dorado and the Silver Legacy. They were the only casinos that didn't smell like cigarette infested puke filled waste paper baskets. Just saying...

Anthony likes the slots because...

THEY GIVE HIM $300.00. He played $0.40 for that jackpot! Definitely the highlight of the trip. I was getting high fives left and right! Ok technically it was one lady and she high-fived Anthony but SO WHAT?!

After a long 12 HOUR day of "Spin to Win" I was pooped as can be seen by the sad and depressed look in my eyes (we had just lost $200.00 of the $300.00) and the grease in my hair (Cigarette smoke air is to blame I have decided) but we managed to make that last $20 go for an hour and a half. Now that my friends was my legacy in Reno 2011. Fun fun times. We need to go back soon and win more MOULAH!!!
