Circus Circus Reno

Circus Circus in downtown Reno. The first hotel tower, the short white building seen behind Topsy the Clown, was formerly the Grey Reid department store before being converted to a casino. The taller tower in the background was built later. In front of Topsy you can see the sign for Mayfair Market, on the site where the Silver Legacy now sits.
