The Valley Cruisers Car Club will be handing out the poker cards and helping with the parking.
Thursday marks the 10th straight year Hot August Nights has come to Minden for the annual poker run.
The poker run begins Thursday morning in Reno at Summit Racing Equipment and the stops included the Atlantis Casino Resort, and Virginia City, before wrapping up at Champion Chevrolet in Reno. Traditionally each stop deals a playing card, and the winning hand takes the prize at the end of the run.
