Once a staple of Reno's dining scene, all but two of the city's casino buffets remain closed with no immediate plans to reopen despite the easing of COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions.  The future is uncertain for what were once sprawling arrays of serve-yourself decadence: the Peppermill's Island Buffet, the Sparks Nugget's Rotisserie Buffet, the buffets at the Eldorado, Rail City and Boomtown — all still closed, the curtains drawn, the chairs stacked. None of the casino representatives the RGJ spoke to said explicitly that these buffets had shuttered for good, but they said nothing of concrete plans to reopen in the near future.  Only two of seven buffets in major Reno casinos have reopened since the pandemic shuttered all of them in spring 2020. Of those two — the Grand Buffet at Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, a...

It's been a rough year for the airline industry, but as the number of people traveling continues to rise, things are settling into a new normal. So the 2021 Best Airlines Report from The Points Guy—a trusted media platform that focuses on maximizing travel experiences while minimizing spending—couldn't come at a better moment. The Points Guy's fifth-annual report ranks the best airlines in the U.S., as well as the worst airlines in America.  After focusing its 2020 airlines report on Covid-19 safety protocols and keeping fliers safe in the sky, The Points Guy has taken a more traditional methodology this year, ranking the overall experience for air travelers by measuring 14 elements across four key categories, including reliability (which was weighted at 30%), experience (weighted at 25%), loyalty (25%) and costs and reach (20%). "We look at the entirety of what a typical traveler would experience ...

The 'Pontch' is returning to Detroit. Sort of. The Crowne Plaza Detroit Downtown Convention Center, formerly the Hotel Pontchartrain, has been renamed the Fort Pontchartrain a Wyndham Hotel, a staff member and a member of management at the hotel told Crain's on Friday. A manager declined to release additional information, saying there would be a formal announcement of the change next week. Workers on Friday afternoon were seen working on the "Crowne Plaza" signage fronting Jefferson Avenue. Trademark applications for "Fort Pontchartrain Hotel" and "Hotel Pontchartrain Detroit" were filed earlier this month with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and a New York City-based Joshpe Mooney Paltzik LLP attorney listed on the application did not return a July 13 email from Crain's seeking additional information. In addition, a website is active and accepting reservations. An email was sent to New Jersey-based Wyndham Hotels & Resorts se...

Everyone has a 'filter,' the internal moral compass that often helps us in the decision-making process, leading us down the path between right and wrong, smart and stupid, cautious and reckless. It's that extra stop-gap. ADVERTISING That's not to say we as humans aren't flawed. Who among us isn't? But we have to be better than this. Travel advisors, already held to a high standard, must be better than this. Human frailty aside, this can't happen: a European travel firm ignited a fury last week when it promoted trips to Auschwitz by using smiley-face emojis as part of its online advertising. According to The Sun newspaper in London, Hays Travel posted ads on Facebook for trips to Krakow, Poland, which included a tour to the Nazi concentration camp. The ads, obviously since removed, featured laughing emojis with stars as eyes under pictures of the railway leading into the camp. Another ad shows the entrance gate with the sign "Work sets ...
