I just read the only review for It's Just Lunch and need to reply to the quite angry and frustrated…read moremember. I Joined IJL about six months ago and met my boyfriend on my third date and went on hold. Like any dating service, including Match.com, eHarmony, and so on, you take your chance when you join a dating service but we all join in hopes of meeting someone that will become our life partner, our confidante, our friend. Joining these services brings us into contact with people outside of our social circle, allowing us to meet people we would never cross paths with. Some of the dates are good and some not so good, but this is no reflection on the services we join. It is a matter of meeting someone that is compatible and that does not happen overnight and most often does not happen on the first date. There was a lot of trash talk in the other review about IJL's claim for being a dating services for busy professionals and yes this is in the company's advertising but all of us go through an extensive interview process with the owner of the company and we are asked if we want to only date "professionals" or if we would be willing to date people in blue collar jobs or technical professions. We are asked a wide range of questions to nail down who we are looking for what our "deal breakers" are. If you are not completely honest in answering the questions you will be set up on dates that you are not compatible with because the company can only go by what you have told them. Joining IJL was one of the best moves I made in my life!!! Not only did I meet my boyfriend but I met a wonderful group of people that have enhanced my social life. And yes, it may be considered expensive to some but if you are a busy professional, as I am, it is worth every penny. I was not going to hang out in bars at my age hoping to meet Mr. Right. The format of IJL allows the members to meet for a drink, cup of coffee, or lunch in a relaxed, safe arena. As a woman, this was an important aspect of joining this service. If you are thinking of joining a dating service in Reno, I highly recommend joining It's Just Lunch. They are professional, knowledgeable, and offer excellent customer service.

I've only been on 3 dates with this company, you don't get any information about the potential date…read moreexcept a brief description. You can't get any more info about the people unless you agree to exchange phone numbers during your first date and then they have your contact info too. This is scary considering 2 of the three people they matched me with had criminal histories. One of them was still married! Even though I specifically stated I did not want to date people who are separated. I wish I would have read these reviews before signing up. This is one the most expensive mistakes I've ever made. The matchmaker is not really a match maker at all, they are a scam service selling scams, they lie about the potential date they set you up with in hopes you will agree to meeting and then they claim they've fulfilled their obligation. It's as horrible as all the others have stated.

It was a bit clickish at first, but all places are when your the newby. We got over that right away and as it turned out everyone was quite friendly. The menbership for one year is $80 per couple and the enterance fee was $40 for both of us, however that got you in for both Friday and Saturday nights. There was a good mix of single men which happens to be what my wife likes so we were very excited and looking forward to our night out. We were not disappionted at all. The place could use a good updating but it didn't hinder our time at all. The staff was friendly and we always felt safe. We will definately come back to visit this place when we are in the area.

My neighbor invited me to join her in viewing a play at this venue. I thought it would be…read moreinteresting to watch a war themed play in an underground military bunker. It was already dark when we arrived, so I didn't notice much about the outside other than the gravel parking lot. We walked down a ramp and entered a fair sized gathering room that included walls decked out with posters from all of the various wars in which the veterans had fought, card tables with plain padded chairs, and a bar, and the room was clouded with smoke. I am no fan of cigarette smoke, so this was a disappointing discovery. After the lights and sounds were checked properly, we were invited back to the bunker area for the performance, where we sat in scattered folding chairs. The air was much fresher and cooler than the gathering room, and no smoking was allowed in this area, thank goodness. The play, appropriately named "Wounded", was an intense drama about wounded soldiers from the war in Iraq. It was performed well, and the bunker was a great aesthetic to the setting. It was put on by Merry War Theater Group, who presented themselves as a pop-up ensemble whose acts can be followed on Facebook or through their e-mail list, as they do not perform in just one arena. My heart and gratitude go out to our Veterans. However, I would like to preserve my lungs from the wretches of second hand smoke.

Reno - Tahoe Outdoors Friends is a diverse group of people in our beautiful Reno/Tahoe area who…read moreshare a love to get outdoors and enjoy nature and good company during our adventures. We meet for a wide variety of hikes around Reno, Lake Tahoe, the Sierra, and other places near and not-so-near. In addition, we camp, mountain/road bike, rock climb, ski, road trip, volunteer, and get together for social functions. As our group continues to grow, the scope of activities will expand. When we ask members why they joined the group, the answer given often is, "I love hiking, but my friends don't, and I don't want to go alone." Now we don't have to. We have hundreds of members who are all anxious to hit the trail, get outside, commune with nature, or just hang out with other group members who share this common interest. Not all of our outings are fit for everyone. Some are kid and dog friendly. Many are more difficult. Some are only for the most fit, such as peaking many of the peaks in the Sierra. It's up to you to know your limits and choose the events that are right for you. Whether it's a picnic and barbecue, a campout at a scenic location, or one of our countless hikes, you're sure to find something that suits your fancy. If you don't, feel free to suggest an outing using the "IDEAS" tab or email me or one of the Assistant Organizers. While we welcome all different levels of hiking skills, you should be aware of your comfort level and capabilities. Each person is responsible for their own gear and safety. If you are wondering what to bring, REI has a check list of items that you should carry (https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/ten-essentials.html) If you have a question drop me or any of the assistant organizers an email. Happy trails! - Daniel Ellsworth

The prime rib is always cooked perfectly and the buffet selection is limited but delicious.

Upon arrival my friend and I were debating on either the Crystal lounge or Lex Nightclub. While enjoying a cocktail plus a shot we overheard that RickRoss is performing tonight! No question, no brainer Lex it is. It was our lucky evening! Waiting to be escorted to our VIP on table we were concerned on what alcoholic beverage to select. We made a decision and picked our poison, A little Irish whisky for the night it is! Vince was our VIP host and was able to pull some strings and upgraded our section to one close up to the stage where the Boss was set to perform. Feeling really nice on how our host treated us, we entered the event . Thank you Vince! A true player in the game that represents the company with greatness! A little buzzed I am now mesmerized by countless beautiful females towards our section! Wow, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a curtain dancer right above our vip booth in the air performing. Not too long after that I see Fire dancers playing with flames inside the swimming pool. What a venue, what a night! Bottle service is now coming towards us with all the bells and whistles to enhance our experience. Bar backs sets the table quickly and then flashing lights fill the scene with a huge Happy Birthday Sign being waved by 2 gorgeous Cocktail waitresses. Awesome!!!! The DJ was playing all the best club bangers back to back to back! The crowd is hyped while security stayed tight! And then, Rick Ross the Boss comes through after much anticipation. The club is going wild as he recites hit after hit! I never seen Rick Ross perform live and was blown away by his stage presence and performance. A real artistic master. Let the after party begin! After his performance we took a GsR limo to The Peppermint Hippo! Wow now that's another review I'll have to spend time on. Check them out ladies and Gents. Hands down the best adult entertainment club right across the street from the Grand Sierra... Thank you all at the GSR for providing us locals and visitors with great memories that will last a lifetime!

It reminded us of South Land Park in Sac, with the older, established residential homes. It was really nice to see lots of grass and ponds! We arrived an hour after it started, and was warmly greeted with a big hug from our neighbor and husband. We viewed all the raffle items and couldn't believe how generous the raffle prizes were!! We put in around $40 in tickets, hoping we'd get the Southwest tickets, or security alarm certificate...actually any prize would of been perfect or even if we didn't, it was a good cause to donate. Surprise, surprise, got a call last night that I won three raffle prizes!!! Really three prizes!!! I got the dog basket full of goodies (perfect since we just added an 8 week old pup), the candle warmer, and the Security alarm!!!!! Can't wait until next years event!!! Thank you!!!
