As a present I took him to Virginia City to see the historic town. We walked the wooden sidewalks, saw the museum's, saw the cemetery, and you might think that would be enough but he had his mind set to get an old time picture dressed like Doc Holliday. There are two such shops in the touristy area of town, one on each end of the main road. This one is the northern one. In my opinion, it's the best as well. The staff were very helpful right off the bat, showing him the photos on the walls. Nothing really caught that, "I'm Wyatt Earp's best friend and a total bad ass in my own right." feeling. So I asked if they can do exactly what he wanted, and they were on it! A few minutes later my sweet 14 year old tender hearted boy looked a stone cold killer. You best not be dealing from the bottom of the deck when The Tax Deduction is at your table. The ladies took five poses and really took their time to get the best result in each one. At the end we picked his favorite and got a 8x10 mounted up for just a tad over $20. We also got a link to their web site where the five poses are available for reorder for 12 months. I cannot thank them enough for making my kid's birthday so special.

I visited Crystal Bay Club during Memorial Day Weekend 2026 and left disappointed with the overall…read moreexperience. The casino itself is relatively small and felt quiet during my visit. On the positive side, there was a wide variety of slot machines and gaming options available, and I never had to wait for a machine. However, I found the gaming experience to be frustrating. I spent quite a bit of time and money playing without seeing much in the way of bonuses, entertainment, or meaningful wins, which made the experience feel more like feeding machines than having fun. The biggest issue, however, was my interaction at the cashier cage. When I went to withdraw additional funds, the employee processing the transaction began offering unsolicited commentary about how I was choosing to access money from my debit and credit cards. As an adult who is fully capable of managing my own finances, I found the interaction unprofessional and inappropriate. Eventually, I had to politely ask that he simply process the transaction and leave my financial decisions to me. Customer service can make or break an experience, and unfortunately this interaction left a lasting negative impression. Between the lackluster gaming experience and the uncomfortable encounter at the cashier cage, I don't see myself returning and would have a difficult time recommending this casino to others.

The event itself was very well organized. Shuttles ran to and from Galena High School for the connivence of the guests. If you had the preferred parking at the actual event then another shuttle was available for you to use. The Tito's Tent was awesome. It was well put together, plenty of shade and some great drinks. I got the raspberry mojito, which was flavorful and not overly boozy. My friend got the makers ginger drink, both were perfect for a hot day. One thing that was fun with tent was since it was over looking the 9th hole you got a great view of the golfers. Also tvs were set up inside to watch the progress too. It was an extremely nice event. I would definitely go back to next years.

PGA tour spot - doesn't bring in the real big names, but gives you a nice taste…read more Barracuda sponsors this stop on the PGA tour at the private course of Montreux on the way to Lake Tahoe. The course wraps in and around large multi million dollar houses and gorgeous thick pine timberland. There are stands with seating - only in certain areas. So you may wish to bring a light weight folding chairs or small cushion to sit on. Cool bet is to score a VIP ticket to one of the many private viewing areas that cater food, drinks, cool restrooms and fabulous views. You are allowed a pretty free reign of walking around the course to see any player or hole you wish to watch. The venue doesn't seem to packed and front row viewing is easy to get. I can't imagine how elbow to elbow the bigger stops must be. For those without VIP tickets, there were a couple of food trucks available and booths selling cocktails, beer and water. Simple parking at Galena High and a 10 minute shuttle up Mt Rose drops you right if at the 10th hole and the center of the tournament with out any effort. Great way to spend a day if you enjoy golf

Really great people! The atmosphere is one of relaxation and fun! Many tv's for watching the games!read more

Dark Prison The Dark Prison haunt in Carson City, Nevada is…read morean exciting addition to the haunt scene. Installed in the Nevada State Prison which closed in 2012, the haunt used the history and setting to maximum effect. The starkness of the prison cells and hallways is a perfect setting. Enhanced with theatrical lighting, creepy actors and well timed jump scares, plus a friendly engaged staff, this haunt is a captured my attention. The haunt has three sections, each getting more intense and more actor interaction as you went. The cast was slightly understaffed the night I went but they utilized them most effectively. They played their roles with frightening conviction even through I walked passed a couple I didn't see. Make up and costuming was exceptional. I paid extra for the VIP package that included a visit backstage and we got to talk to the make up designer. Many of the masks, makeup designs and props are originals made in-house. I've seen so many off-the-shelf haunt products, it's nice to see original The tour also covers the history of the prison which was fascinating as this prison was actually built by inmates, was the first site for executions by gas chamber and lethal injection. The VIP package also included an exclusive VIP bar and a markup and oddities museum. I suggest a live CC camera view inside the haunt so we can scares from a different perspective. The haunt is run by the same group you ran Dark Corner in Reno in cooperation with the Nevada State Prison Historical Society. The mix of horror and history give the haunt a unique character and the reported paranormal activity adds to the dark aura surrounding the property. Located close to central Carson City, it's well worth the drive from Reno or Tahoe area, and if your big haunt or history fan, this is a must do!

The rest of the town didn't seem family friendly (we even got shooed away by one owner for reading the sign "don't touch") The owner of this place took genuine interest in educating the children about the various types of stones. He made the experience fun and interesting... without being crazy or dressing up as a cowboy ! No gimmicks. I was so surprised by the value fo the experience and the organization of the store! Our 6 and 7 year old screamed with delight at every item that $6 bucket of sand revealed. I was amazed with the beauty of the rocks (who cares what it's worth, they were colorful and display-worthy!). After the kids finished their treasure finding bit, I had to my own, the Mother Lode bucket for $20! HUGE amythyst and pyrite and fossils abound! Up the road, at the outdoor "gem" mining, we got taken by the $8 deal and got "gems" that my son said, "Mama, I can hardly see them!" The rocks were the size of half a pea! Dan Cin was the best value and the highlight of our family outing to Virginia City. Thank you sir!
