I haven’t lived in Reno for decades but I can smell those casinos.

I have lived in Reno since 1980, just a few years after this film was made. Even though only six years had elapsed, so much had changed that, at times, I didn't recognize important landmarks. The half-city block just to the right of Cal-Neva, where Hamm's was seen in the film, was bought out by Cal-Neva for an expansion. The alleyway has changed to reflect that expansion. The casino they entered must have indeed been the now-defunct Mapes. The presence of the black glass building just before it, which was and is the Reno City Hall building, makes this identification absolutely certain. (The black glass building still stands.) One thing I saw delighted me; blink, and you'll miss it. Just after the bus crosses the Center Street Bridge, you can see a glimpse of what must be the fugliest building ever built--the former Nevada Bell building. It's the gray concrete building with the vertical copper stripes, without a single window. As far as I'm able to discern, no other picture of it exists. It's memorable for no other reason that it was fugly. Thanks for posting.

One other thing I'd like to note: the first street they walk on--North Center Street, where the doorman in the orange suit loads the customer into the taxi--has changed beyond all recognition. Absolutely nothing of this part of the street remains as it was in the movie, because Harrah's bought out both sides of the street and expanded.

I was living in L.A. when this movie came out. I was into horse racing and loved to hit the different tracks around the area. I was having a lot of luck too. After I saw this movie, my luck began to change. I hit a few card clubs and was lucky...then not. This movie had a profound effect on me. I saw how gambling was controlling my life. I quit. Just like that. I ended up with enough money to buy new cars, nice clothes, cool vacations, etc. I don't know if anybody else has had a movie make a change in their life, but California Split sure did for me. It was a change for good, too.

At 2:45 , the female bartender is actress Barbara Ruick, who was married to composer John Williams... Barbara was a fairly well known actress...'California Spilt' was her last movie--tragically, she died in Reno, a day after this scene was filmed.. Barbara died of a cerebral hemorrhage on March 3, 1974 in Reno, Nevada while asleep.

I was born in 1959 and remember traveling to Reno in 1965. My parents just bought a new Cadillac Calais. It didn't have air conditioning. We drove through the Mojave desert with no air 😢. We went to Harrah's for dinner. On the second floor was the restaurant with window's looking out to the street. It's probably all different now.

Reno needs me. I was there last week. I gambled there in the 80's, too. It's dead now, not like it used to be. Reno needs me to liven the place up. I rock Elvis songs better than anyone. I have guts, too. I made 2 videos while there last week. The 1st is me singing and playing my bass guitar standing in front of the Reno light sign with Harrahs in the background. I sang Viva Las Vegas Reno style. I sang it "Viva Rockin Reno." Hire me, Reno. Put me on stage there. I'll do the city good.

I agree that it's the Mapes. At 4:41 you can see the Mapes name on a slot machine.

Definitely the Mapes...final scene in this video is the Sky Room on the 12th floor.

When I'm not in Berkeley California or Milan Kansas I'm in Reno Nevada I love to go there and do some light drinking and some light sports-betting the problem is as of 2023 I started going there religiously back around 2003 the problem is the gentrification and all The Disappearance of the 1930s 40s and 50s small motels and all the old casinos are gone and now they have rock climbing walls instead of the casinos it's terrible there's only a few main casinos left anyway it's such a nice town

I lived there from 95 to 2013. It’s gone downhill in so many ways and now it’s way overpriced. Wish I had seen it in its heyday. I used to describe it as a below average city in an above average location. Beautiful area! The trucker, the Sierra, the transition zone from pine forests to high desert..I miss it!
