My first encounter with trader dicks was back in 1969 as a kid on a bike in sparks and I rolled up on this cool place that looked very different. I remember as a kid how cool to be a grown up and be inside. They had these huge ship anchor chains out front and I could hear music inside. Years later it was moved across the street in the main Nugget but still cool but not as rustic, but had this huge tropical fish tank! When I turned 21 I would cash my paycheck at the nugget and they would give you 2 free drink tokens... well I had 2 zombies at traders and weaved out of the casino with an ear to ear grin... I guess I drove home. Years later I returned at my 10 year high school reunion at the Nugget... Couldn't wait to scan the drink menu... it was so classic! I plan on going to kauai this summer.. and I have a feeling I am going to be disappointed in the true tiki. Trader Dicks will be my measuring stick, well see... I just now heard about the fun train to Reno from "sac" boy, I can't wait... I am there for sure! And I will return once again to partake of the wholesum nectar of tiki!
