Reno, Nevada
The Biggest Little City in the World!
A world-class tourist destination with a rich arts scene and year-round
outdoor activities and located a mere 45 minutes away from Lake Tahoe and some
of the country's best ski resorts. The name Reno suggests celebrity
performances, casino gaming,
and 24 hour entertainment. High wire artists entertain nightly as do the
country's top comics. Guests can watch live elephants perform and can dance
into the early morning hours to the beat of their favorite rock group. A
variety of activities are available around the clock, but the most spectacular
events require no advance bookings. They are the sunrises and sunsets which are
exhibited daily against the backdrop of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains.
The colors of the mountains and the sky are beyond description. They leave the
viewer breathless with wonder, and with a feeling of exhilaration at the same
time. Even the most ardent devotee of western films shot on location, is amazed
at the first sight of the "real thing." The camera lens has not been able to
capture the essence of the profound beauty of these masterpieces of nature.

Reno Attractions
Exploring the Reno area takes
patience of a kind that, once practiced, can yield tremendous benefits to the
traveler. Much of our 21st century family travel involves attendance at mega
attractions where the only thing standing between the visitor and a total
assault on the senses via Imax, theme rides, and action figures is an hour or
two of waiting in line for admission. The Reno experience is entirely
different! It begins with the approach to the city rising out of the
desert. Prepare ahead of time for what will be a journey through land that was
once at the bottom of an inland sea. Look around for the fertile farms, the
snow capped mountain peaks, the lush valleys. Watch for the herds of wild
horses and for the families of tortoises making their deliberate way. Stop at a
park for a picnic and discover pines, firs, and wild strawberries. Enter into
the spirit of the wild west by visiting Ponderosa Ranch in Incline Village and
recalling the drama of episodes of the Bonanza TV show. In an effort to
bring more tourism to the area, Reno holds several events throughout the year,
all of which have been extremely successful. They include Hot August Nights (a
classic car convention and ralley), Street Vibrations (a motorcycle fan
gathering and ralley), the Great Reno Balloon Race, the Best in the West Nugget
Rib Cook-off (held in Sparks), a Cinco de Mayo celebration, bowling tournaments
and the Reno Air Races.
The main route across Nevada, I-80, runs from
Salt Lake City to Reno, skirting dozens of small towns with names like
Winnemucca, Elko, and Battle Mountain. The other main route, US 50, is older
and slower than I-80, but highly rated in terms of scenic beauty. It follows
much the same route as did the riders of the Pony Express in the 1860s. Many of
the towns along it have faded away, and some have been entirely abandoned. Yet,
these pioneers made their mark, and the imagination is stirred by memories of
their accomplishments. Take a day trip to Carson City, the state capitol of
Nevada. There you will find the Nevada Railroad Museum. Visit the Stewart
Indian Museum or take the walking tour and see all the historic buildings.
There is a wide choice of restaurants and lots of shopping. US 50 comes into
Carson City as Williams Street.
From there it joins I-80 at Reno, and then veers off to the
southwest to circle magnificent Lake Tahoe. The view of Lake Tahoe as
approached from the mountain is incredible! If peaceful sight-seeing is your
desire, you might want to venture out for the 72 mile drive around Lake Tahoe.
Summer is the best time for this, as snow blocks some of the roads at other
times of the year. On the drive, the diversity of the area is apparent. Snow
capped mountain ranges (some peaks are 14.000 feet high) rise above magnificent
beaches, and enclaves of multi-million dollar homes. Lake Tahoe offers a
variety of winter sports such as alpine skiing and snowboarding, ice skating,
cross-country skiing and dog sled rides. There is horseback riding, gambling,
cruises on Lake Tahoe, and a chance to ride the cable car to the top of Squaw
Valley. Virginia City, not far from Tahoe, is an unusual place, and
still has some musty corners that evoke its heyday, when it was far larger and
a history-making mining town. Virginia City is on the side of a mountain, and
elevated, providing a great view of the desert and surrounding hills.
One last main route, US-95, links Reno and Las Vegas, passing near Death Valley
as well as Nevada's best known ghost town, Goldfield. If you fly to
Reno, a car won't be necessary in town. Everything is within a few blocks as
far as casinos go. The casinos on the outskirts of town have shuttle service
every half hour at no charge. For fun for the whole family, take a trip to
Circus Circus Midway Stage. Young and old alike get caught up in the excitement
of the carnival style arcade at the Midway where there is a chance to win
stuffed toy animals and other prizes at the more than 30 games available. Wild
Island Family Adventure Park, has eight water adventures, two miniature golf
courses and a variety of racetracks in its Formula K Raceway.
In order
to take advantage of the many outlet stores and do a little sightseeing around
the area, rent a car for a day or two and explore. Reno is a beautiful city
with much to see and do. It extends out toward the smaller city of Sparks. Reno
and Sparks are one continuous urban area, but Sparks has its own separate
character. Established in 1901 as a railroad maintenance depot, residents and
businesses of Victorian Square in Sparks have created a turn-of-the century
atmosphere with Victorian storefronts and a gazebo highlighting an entire area
of shops, casinos and restaurants for visitors who enjoy the old time
appeal.
The recent census reported an increase of over 23 percent in
the population of Reno in the last ten years! The Biggest Little City in the
World is, understandably, continuing to grow.
Since Reno and Sparks get
much less snow than the Lake Tahoe Basin (usually not more than a total of two
feet for the whole winter season), it's not unusual to play golf in Reno or
Sparks and ski in the nearby mountains in the same day.
Today Reno is
considered by many to be America's most complete vacation destination. The
area's unique combination of indoor and outdoor attractions draws visitors from
around the world.
