Just an FYI, there's a Wal Mart on Pyramid Highway in Sparks, about 5 miles off I 80
Here's the section of RMC that I believe they are using to prohibit overnight RV parking:
Sec. 8.22.035. - Nuisances per se defined.
......snip......
(22)
Using any mobile home, recreational vehicle or vehicle for dwelling or sleeping purposes outside of a mobile home park, mobile home subdivision or recreational vehicle park.
So far I'm unable to local the specific code Sparks may be using to ban overnight parking. As you can see it's prohibited simply by being a nuisance per se, code enforcement would have to receive a complaint about it first. I suspect that some casinos are ignoring this, however I've heard that they have been warned by the city some years ago.
If you find a WalMart lot that's not posted 'no overnight parking' I suspect you'll be fine. If it's got signs banning overnight parking I'd suggest moving on.
Good luck.
