I wonder if it was Harrah's in Tahoe, or here in Reno? Hmmm.....*thinks about research, gets distracted at refrigerator*:shifty:

Hold up Harrah's in Reno, head east towards Utah border; not the most inconspictious car, but probably get ya there quick!

Probably in Atlantic City.... Were the casino's there in '70?
