mowerman Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 For years, they had truckers appreciation day every year over there. I don’t know if they still do. I used to fuel up there all the time and would here about it. I haven’t been in there in years, but they had a lot of old trucks on display and if you had a class a license they would give you a free steak dinner Then in the evening they would shoot off fireworks. I don’t know if they do any of that anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75958-truck-show/#findComment-583445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I have spent quite a lot of time at the Alamo back in the late 80's and early 90's when I ran Sparks a lot. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75958-truck-show/#findComment-583469 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Oh, I thought I would throw this in the first waitress. I met over there 1990 I have followed her to two other jobs. She also went to work for the TA then left there and went to a buddy of mine sisters place. They sell mainly ribs last I saw her she was over there, but that was a few years ago. I am sure she’s retired by now because she was like three years older than me That would make her 72 years older.

Brocky Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Both RCA and Polygram records had warehouses in Sparks. Had to deliver first thing in the AM then wait until 5 PM to see if they had anything going to LA. We quit eating there after we found Bally's had a Brunch buffet for a lot less!! 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75958-truck-show/#findComment-583477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Hell I forgot all about ballys thier not even here anymore… from what I hear both those truckstops are corporate America now … and food probably is not as it used to be I’ve probably seen you before years ago bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75958-truck-show/#findComment-583492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 For years this town used to offer 299 breakfast and a lot of casinos those days are long gone. Everything is over $20 now. But that’s for all you can eat. Breakfast only dinner buffets are usually 27 or so.

Brocky Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 The Bally's brunch buffet was $5.95 or $6.95 for all you could eat with no time limit, and in those days I could put away a LOT!!! In about 2008 we had a Wrangler/Lee sales convention load to the RIO hotel in Las Vegas, their buffets started at $25 and went up.. My wife and I got lucky Sat night and were invited to join the salesmen at their buffet for free. It was cheaper to eat off the menu in the restaurant. After we got reloaded Sunday AM we stopped a a small casino in Searchlight for lunch. Prime Rib dinner for $5.95!!!!!

mowerman Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Excellent we still have deals like that at the gold dust West for prime rib. I think it’s like 695. I delivered two huge doors to the Rio when they were building the place they were already operating, but they were still putting on finishing touches. One of their hands told me you ought to walk in there and see what these cocktail waitresses are wearing and I did oh my God they were almost nude. It was worth walking in there that was way back around 95 or 96.

mowerman Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 My wife’s ex-husband was the manager of the boom town Buffet. We used to go in there and eat all the time for free all the lobster you can hold all on my house. Of course everything has to come to an end he wound up, leaving and going to another casino. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75958-truck-show/#findComment-583500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
