Road Dog and I visited Cabela's last night on a VIP pass I'd been given. The store was filled with shoppers and lots of local dignitaries including our governor. The Dog bought a few things and I got to see lots of buddies I haven't seen in years out there. It opened to the public this morning at 8 am, and they're anticipating 45K visitors over the next three days. Cabela's has given our highway patrol $31K for traffic control on the I-80 off/on ramps. The store is huge and like Road Dog says, it's really nice to be able to see and feel the merchandise rather than (somewhat) gamble on mail order. Another important point I think is that (in the fishing department at least) they've hired knowledgable sales persons who have gone through rigorous training as well as having long term backgrounds in fishing. A great store that should be a big benefit to the Reno area for years to come. On the other hand, I'll still patronize the Reno Fly Shop - those guys are great!
