The Mapes Hotel was a Hotel/ Casino located in Reno, Nevada, next to the Truckee River on Virginia Street.
It was built in 1947, and opened on December 17 of that year.
It was the first skyscraper built in the Western United States
since the start of World War two. The hotel was a unique high-rise built to combine a hotel and casino,
providing the prototype for modern hotel/casinos.
The hotel quickly became, for most of the 1950s and 1960s,
the premier hotel in Reno.
