It was a fusion with varioous flavors of American, French but mostly Jamaican. Sometimes there was some misunderstanding about the quantities served, but that's ok. It's definitely not your mom's PB&J. The meal hours sucked... Who serves breakfast at 4:30 am? One ply toilet paper? C'mon guys, my prostate does not like the cheap stuff. The laundry service never has the right amount of starch or the right creases and they don't offer dry cleaning. The one good thing was I had a very accomodating room with a fantastic view of the highway. The tv was dated but I got to watch a lot of old series and cartoons which brought an extra insight to my life. I enjoyed the rec facilities which allowed me to fine tune my ball skills. Finally, there was a lot of glamorous squatting at night when they politely see if there is anything wrong with your room. Go for the bolgna sammies, stay for the friendly, anus shredding pals you're sure to make.

I'll tell you what it was a whole lot easier than it was at OAK coming out here to Elko. I didn't run into any huge lines like you read about in the news lately.

The Nevada State Legislature carved Elko County out of the northeastern part of Lander County on…read moreMarch 5, 1869. Named after its principal town and seat of government, the name Elko occurs elsewhere in the nation associated with railroad stations. The origin of the name is uncertain. Elko County officials initially occupied three adobe buildings and a tent. Within months, the commissioners accepted the plans of Walter Moberly for a courthouse. "The building is to be...of the Roman Doric style of architecture," reported The Elko Independent. "On the first or lower floor there will be four rooms for offices..., with a fireproof vault in one; and also on this floor five cells for holding prisoners...On the second floor will be the courtroom...and four offices..and a portico in front." In August 1869, the county commissioners awarded a construction contact for $17,744 to W.P. Monroe. As Monroe began building the courthouse, some people called for a more elaborate design. In spite of the addition of higher walls, a heavy cornice, and alterations to the front stairway, Monroe finished the brick courthouse in a little more than three months, on December 18, 1869. Monroe and the county disagreed over the final bill. After paying him over $20,000 for the courthouse, the commissioners rejected his bill for $240.00 for the locks. Monroe duplicated the keys and distributed them throughout the town, forcing the county to replace the locks at a cost of $600.00. In 1910, the Elko County commissioners voted to build a new courthouse. The two-story structure, designed by William H. Weeks and built by the Sellman brothers of western Nevada, cost $150,000. The courthouse is on the site of its predecessor. It is a Neo-Classical building with a shallow dome and a two-story pedimented portico supported by Doric columns. A balustrade follows the roof line and accentuated an ornate cornice. In 1916, an article in the "industrial Issue" of The Elko Independent boasted that the courthouse "isn't the State capitol, as many might suppose, at first glance. It is the beautiful $150,000 county courthouse...built for the needs of the present."
