That's correct.  They usually play at Harrah's in Reno and Lake Tahoe.  The
show's are great and I highly recommend them.  Get there early because the
room fills up fast.  They play in the lounge so as far as I know you can't
make reservations.  I think a few of the band members live in the Reno area.
