Harolds, Nevada club building to be razed
Thursday, Dec. 9, 1999 | 11:42 a.m.
RENO -- Downtown Reno will be getting a casino implosion no matter what happens in the dispute over the future of the Mapes. And it will come well before Super Bowl Sunday.
Harrah's Reno said explosives will level the seven-story Quinn Building Dec. 15.
It's all that's left of the complex that once included Harolds Club and the Nevada Club. They're both gone.
The demolition contractor hired by Harrah's to clear the block has decided that the building can be demolished safely and more quickly by explosives than by the traditional razing methods that were used on the shorter buildings.
"We feel that the imploding process will be less disruptive overall to the downtown Reno business community," said Michael Silberling, vice president of casino operations at Harrah's Reno.
