Peppermill is my favorite spot in Reno. You will be comped good there, the sportsbook is independent and you will find lots of good lines that haven't moved. They have a lot more tables than before as they just recently remodeled and the poker room is awesome + you will be tracked for comps on sports bets and poker play. Atlantis is just down the street where they have 8 cent baseball dime lines for Hockey. The Sports book is a pretty nice one there too, better then most of the ones in Vegas. Yeah tahoe's better on the eyes, but if you want to gamble stay away from Tahoe. Tahoes where you go if you want to ski. The BJ rules in Tahoe are absolutely horrendous. The rooms have been remodeled recently too and are pretty nice now. Make sure you get a players card there.
