Boomtown Casino & Hotel Reno
Boomtown Casino & Hotel Reno is a resort in Verdi, Nevada, just west of the Reno–Sparks metropolitan area, owned and operated by M1 Gaming. The hotel has 318 guest rooms and suites, and the casino has a 42,000 square feet (3,900 m2) gaming area. The property originally began as a truck stop in the mid-1960s serving travelers on Interstate 80, and gradually expanded into a full hotel-casino resort.
The resort recently added a new fitness area, and has a large indoor pool. A 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) Family Fun Center features games for the whole family, while a new teen center, the Escape Teen Zone, offers dancing, music, a climbing wall, and black light miniature golf. The hotel has been a location for some International Federation of Competitive Eating competitions.
Steve Jobs's biological father, Abdulfattah John Jandali, is currently the vice president and general manager of the resort.
In June 2012, Pinnacle Entertainment sold the property for $12.9 million to M1 Gaming, the company of former Station Casinos executive Dean DiLullo.

“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
—Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)
“I don’t think I’ve ever felt so lost as I did then.”
—Janet Wood Reno (b. 1938)
