Siri's Casino Posts Renderings

They're going to make palm trees survive in Reno?

Now that would be a miracle Geopower lol. Maybe they are fake, or neon? Or just there to enhance the rendering?

Love the palm trees and neon!! It's sssoooooo cool!!! I think this combined with a rock climbing hotel will go a long way towards transforming downtown Reno back into the tourist destination it was when Harrah's was a nice property, the Eldorado was a gem, the Silver Legacy was brand new, Circus Circus and CalNeva weren't so scary, and Indian gaming didn't exist. :) So yeah, if they can make this property survive, then palm trees are no problem ;)

This is pretty cool. The more properties that reopen downtown, the less of a pit and homeless-person attractor it will be.

Lived in Reno 25 years, I don't remember a time when Cal Neva and Circus Circus were not scary. I like the alley entrance, I saw a historic photo of Reno once where the casinos all had alley entrances. This seems like a step back to classic Reno. The Virginian is reopening?

Mike, I haven't been in that alley in quite a while, but I seem to remember that the old Golden Phoenix casino's remote storefront that faced Virginia street was connected at the rear of the building to the rear of another restaurant building that faced Sierra street by a pedestrian bridge on the second floors of both buildings. In the old - pre-Montage days, the restaurant building was in turn connected to the old Golden Phoenix Hotel by a pedestrian bridge that spanned Sierra St. When I look at the proposed Siri renderings, the proposed alley entrance appears to me to be under that old existing pedestrian bridge that connects to the old restaurant building rather than a new connection to Whitney Peak. The bridge over the alley appears to cross the other part of the T shaped alley on that block, not the top of the T portion of the alley that connects Sierra Street and Virginia. Is that possible?

Oh yes the Virginian is reopening and not under the Virginian. It will be an awesome new downtown attraction keep your eye on that building. The Whitney peak remodel too is equally as exciting.
