RVers lash out at city of Reno for overnight ban in casino lots

RENO, Nevada -- As reported by the Reno Gazette-Journal: "The city of Reno has received a rash of e-mails from out-of-state recreational vehicle owners threatening to boycott the city because of an ordinance prohibiting RVs from camping overnight in casino parking lots.

"But Reno officials on Wednesday said the ordinance in question has been on the books since 1996 outlawing RV camping anywhere in the city except in designated parks with water and sewage hookups.

"The concerns are health-related, said Alex Woodley, Reno city code enforcement manager.

"...This week, in 24 e-mails to the city, several of which were copied to the Reno Gazette-Journal, RV owners wrote of the convenience of overnighting in casino parking lots and patronizing the casino and restaurants as well as other retail establishments.

"...The city of Sparks has no such ordinance, said spokesman Adam Mayberry..."
