Source Caption: Mapes Hotel Casino 1947-2000. I captured this image just a few weeks before the grand old lady was imploded on Super Bowl Sunday, 2000.The hotel was the tallest building in Nevada at the time of completion with 12 stories, 300 rooms and 40 suites. Many of you will remember the Skyroom on top. The Mapes family first arrived in the truckee Meadows around 1860 and became very successful in the cattle business. Heritage runs deep.
