Hi Scott,
This image may be from 1963...I googled "Christy Minstrels Reno" (there are a well known 60's and 70's act) featured on the Harold's Club sign, and found a site which mentioned they were in Reno in 1963:
The Christies were at a major Reno casino, Harold's Club, in mid-1963. Dolan had given his notice, and the time was up. He got on a plane headed for Phoenix, thinking about the major choice he had just made. He wrote the song "Springerville"
Best Regards,
~Bob W.
