If you remember the @mapeshotel, you probably remember the Sky Room. Did you know the Nightingale Sky Room of the Nevada Museum of Art was inspired by this iconic, historic Reno venue?

Today we remember the @mapeshotel which was imploded today 22 years ago, in seconds the Reno landmark was reduced to rubble along with over half a century of local history. #rememberthemapes #mapeshotel #mapescasino #renohistory #thissideofreno

50 Years of Memories! This aerial photograph of downtown Reno circa 1960 shows the former Nevada State Building on the plot of land where the Pioneer Center sits today, complete with a large park area in front. If you look across the river, you’ll see the former @MapesHotel!
