Reno Day 10: Welcome to Atlantis

Today is a day of rest before our trip home. So we decided to take a trip down to the Atlantis Hotel & Casino. We had a leisurely breakfast at Millie's 24 restaurant, then back up to the room to grab our gear for the ride across town. 

We arrived in Atlantis in late morning, and proceeded to the Guest Services desk to get our Player's Club cards and see what kind of comps came with the card. The three of us stood in line for the Player's Club machines to see what comps we'd be lucky enough to win. Sad to say we each only scored the lowest comp possible on the machine. *sigh* Story of my life. 

After a couple of hours of feeding the machines, I decided the casino had enough of my hard-earned paycheck, so I went in search of my friends. I found Donna winning on a penny slot machine, so I hung around and watched her win around $150.00. We tried to get enough comp points for a free buffet, but none of us did that well at the slots. 

When we were all tired of spending our money and the winnings were being sucked back into the machines, we had lunch at the buffet. As casino buffets go it was about average, but we all got enough to eat and decided it was time to head back to the El Dorado to finish packing for the trip home. 

The plan was to gas up the bikes on our way back to the hotel, but as we traveled north on Virginia Street, we watched the rain roll in and decided that we would just fill the bikes in the morning on our way out of town. Somehow we managed to make it into the parking garage before the worst of the rain hit, so we were relatively dry when we got to our room. When we got up to the room, we watched the rain come down in sheets; we were lucky we didn't have to swim back to the El Dorado from Atlantis.  

We will spend the rest of the evening packing for the trip home. The plan is to get up early (OK, I know that most everyone's idea of early differs from ours), grab a quick breakfast and morning latte, and hit the rowdy road. Our goal for tomorrow night is Wells, NV, wish us fair weather and following winds.
