News: Fitzgerald's closes..and reopens as CommRow, then Whitney Peak
And now for the really bad news. OnOctober 27, 1999 both the Nevada Club and Harold's weredemolished in preparation for Harrah's to take over the property.Of course this comes as no surprise. On this date, the property is a hugeempty lot between Harrah's and the Virginia Street Arch. As withso many buildings in Reno, the mentality is to tear it down, thenfigure out what to do with the land. Harrah's intends to use itas an 'urban plaza' and eventually proceed with some type ofdevelopment (Click here to see Harrah's urban plaza, 2002). In the meantime, the empty lot creates an evengreater visual gap than a boarded up casino. We now anticipateHarrah's will eventually use the property to construct Reno'snext example of today's standard in gaming entertainment, theever-popular Mega Casino.

On January 30,2000, at 8:03 a.m., the last great vestige of Reno's historicgaming past, the Mapes Hotel, passed into Nevada History. Thehotel was built in 1947 and was the last major American buildingcreated in the art deco style. It was the first to combine acasino, hotel and entertainment venue under the same roof.Numerous plans to save the structure were presented to Reno'sCity Council, but the Group of Seven apparently had its mind madeup long before the final vote in September, 1999, to blow up thehotel. A major campaign by preservation groups throughout thecountry, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation,resulted in further intractability by the Council. The effort tosave the Mapes even resulted in an editorial in the New YorkTimes castigating the city for its lack of foresight, to noavail. It should be noted that the building was on the NationalRegister of Historic Places, and was listed by the National Trustas one of the eleven most endangered builidings in 1998. Thiswas a significant building that should have been saved!
