What about Peppermill or Atlantis Casinos for getting closer to Carson?  The Nugget sounded good for Sparks, or the Silver Club.

I need help setting up a VPN. It's for my employer, a for-profit
company, so we're happy to pay for the support, and I'd prefer to
support a member of the local community.

We're setting up a VPN for remote access to our corporate network.
Essentially all the clients (except me) will be using Billyware to
access our ERP system from the field.

We have a T1 (some of which is used for voice) with a /29 assigned to
us. I have shorewall (2.0.13) running on a linux box doing NAT/firewall
from our internal RFC1918 network to the internet - our mail & website
are done by the fine folks at GBIS so we don't currently run any servers
internally.

To keep things nice and clean I have added a third card to the firewall
box and assigned it it's own address out of our /29. I set up OpenVPN
(2.0.5) and generated a bunch of client certificates. It starts up
fine, I (and others) can connect to it just fine, but I just cannot get
the clients to see any machines on the internal network once they
connect. I've followed the fine instructions from

http://www.shorewall.net/OPENVPN.html

but either I've messed up or something's actually broken.

If you are able to help let me know - we're in the North end of Carson
City, but I have ssh and webmin running on the firewall machine and can
set up remote access for you if that's all you need.

Since not everyone can see the Hilton or the Silver Legacy, I'd be
interested in suggestions for other locations we could use. A current
possibility is the Sierra Pacific building near Meadowood Mall, but I
realize that may not work too well for South Meadows. The idea location
will itself have line of sight visibility to the Hilton or Legacy.
Suggestions?

More on typical abuses and how to handle DMCA notices when running Tor:

http://tor.eff.org/faq-abuse.html.en#TypicalAbuses
http://tor.eff.org/eff/tor-dmca-response.html.en

So, exit servers will probably deal with abuse no matter what they do,
but I think the issues are manageable.

The Nugget is visible from just about everywhere in Sparks. Is that a
viable option?
