Nightlife Spot: Club Cal-Neva
The poker table at the Club Cal-Neva is frequented by many individuals that I know who would rather play poker at a table than at a machine. I've watched, I like machines myself.

Nightlife Spot: Outside the Eldorado
For several years now I've gone down with upwards of 50,000 other people and watched the fireworks on revelry on New Years Eve. This year (2005 now), it was snowing so the fireworks ended up very pretty. Afterwards I spent sometime "donating" money to the Eldorado to help cover the cost of the fireworks.

Dress Code: Well, this year we had to dress warm. There was a woman wandering around while it was snowing in a halter top with no back. Strange...
Directions: Standing in the middle of Virginia Street is where you get this view.

Nightlife Spot: Downtown Reno
This isn't a new tip, just a new picture from a new year. In January 2005 it was snowing on New Year's Eve. I liked how the flash reflects off the snowflakes. We ended up getting more snow in January than the area had in 88 years. There was snow everywhere after two heavy storms hit back to back.

Nightlife Spot: Ghost Tours of Reno
There is a couple that offers ghost tours of Reno. This year (2005) tickets are available via the El Dorado Casino ticket office. I'd have to assume this will happen again next year. The other night I was at the Levy Mansion when the tour came through and they had at least 40 people. The Levy Mansion (121 California Street) is one of the stops on the tour. I took this image during the day so you could see details, but it is at night the most activity is known to happen. This mansion was built in 1906 by William Levy, an influential business man in old Reno. Some people would be interested in seeing this Classic Revival mansion not just because its a spooky place, but because it's on the National Register of Historic Places. It's a beautiful building! If you come to Reno at another time of the year, the Levy Mansion is home to the Metro Salon & Day Spa. You can see what they offer for services on their website at... http://www.metrosalonanddayspa.c om/ (Ghost tours is not on their list of services, by the way.)
I also attended a seance hosted by medium that owns the website Spirits-Speak website in the Levy Mansion. She thinks there are between 6-8 spirits in the house. It was an interesting evening if you believe in this kind of thing. As an author of paranormal fiction, I was there! Call it research. Most of my published work is about vampires though.
There was a party going on when I was there hosted by the Metro Spa folks so I couldn't hear much but loud music. But, I did feel a chill and the very top of my head hurt. I've never had a headache focused in that spot before. That was interesting. Several individuals involved in the seance had stronger reactions than I did.

Dress Code: Sneakers a must... so you can sneak past the ghosts. Actually, since the the Levy Mansion is haunted on the 3rd floor and the stair cases are long and steep, you'll be thankful for comfortable walkign shoes on this tour.
Phone: (800) 879-8879
Directions: The Levi Mansion is on the corner of Sierra and California... walk south on Sierra when your downtown. It's just a few blocks from the downtown area.
