I just came across the Kings Inn Casino in Reno location here on the UE site and there isn't really a history about the building posted so I wanted to add a little history about it if I could...

The casino was extremely short lived, it opened in 1974 with 152 rooms, a wet bar, a third level swimming pool, three levels of subterranean parking, as well as lots of slot machines on the ground level. It was built right in front of the train station which is now located below ground level. The casino went through a series of bankruptcies and was shut down once, re-opened, then shut down again because it did not pass fire and safety codes. So it was shut down for good in 1986. That building has been sitting there for the last 22 years and nobody will buy it, it has become a haven for the homeless. They have it sealed off pretty darn good too, so I think it would be very hard to get in there. It looks like it could be fairly interesting inside, I always have thought the longer a building sits to rot the more interesting it becomes, and that building maybe has a tale or two. I have walked around it several times and I can't find one entrance that isn't padlocked or boarded shut, I heard in the past that was not always the case.

Just went there and the place is boarded up tight. The top floors don't look too interesting. Been stripped to the studs. No fence around the place, and the boards are being held tight by these metal rivets. One door in alley way in back had $30 masterlock but was being held by a two-dollar cheap steel clasp-hinge....
