Best Basque food in town. They also still board Basque sheepherders, who occupy threadbare rooms, share a communal bathroom, and eat somewhere sequestered in the back when they're not off running sheep. Elko, NV.

Commercial Casino. Elko, Nevada. Home of White King, the alleged largest polar bear ever kilt by man.
From Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear And Loathing In Elko", Rolling Stone #622, January 1992:
We entered the hotel through the Casino entrance. The Judge seemed calm and focused until we rounded the corner and came face to face with an eleven-foot polar bear standing on its hind legs, ready to pounce. The Judge turned to jelly at the sight of it. "I've had enough of this goddamn beast," he shouted." It doesn't belong here. We should blow its head off."
I took him by the arm "Calm down, Judge," I told him. "That's White King. He's been dead for about thirty-three years." ... Read More

Used to form the "M" of the Mapes Hotel, along the Truckee River in Reno. Born in 1947, died in 2000. The Mapes had the distinction of being the "first skyscraper built in the western United States following World War II," as well as the place where Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra and pals all fornicated and snorted cocaine out of each other's hindquarters. The Mapes Cowboys currently reside in the Western Folklife Center in Elko, on loan from Will Durham, who owns a heap of other classic Nevada neon.
