Before the Nugget Casino in Reno went for the mega-casino-highrise look that is popular these days, this figure was one of 5 that were atop of the old casino. The owner of the neighboring Chocolate Factory bought this guy and moved him to their property. He's in bad shape: holes from purposeful damage and fading from many years in the sun. He's over 2 stories tall and really stands out among the lower buildings along this rural stretch of road. Of course, we readily noted an .... um ... anatomical anomaly of this gent. But we still lke him (or her). Of course, since you are there anyways - stopping in to the Chocolate Factory for a little munchie is also in order ;) Their hand dipped chocolate covered icecream is divine .......huge and divine .... *sigh* Location:611 US Hwy 395 N., Washoe Valley, NV Outside the Chocolate Nugget Candy Factory. Southbound side of US 395, near the north end of Washoe Lake, midway between Reno and Carson City.

Around the excitement of a wedding, yes - probably, but on a work ski trip we sadly found the Tahoe Queen boring and the shore staff unhelpful. | DennisMyers Wed Mar 21, 2007 21:29 UTC
The low rise Nugget is in Reno, the high rise Nugget is in Sparks, east of Reno. This figure was never on top of either Nugget. It was on top of the Claim Stake casino in Sparks, west of the Nugget and on the other side of the street. | Little_Lou_Lou Wed Dec 20, 2006 03:46 UTC
