The city of Reno (pop 200,000), known as the "Biggest Little City in the World," serves as the hub of tourism for the northwestern corner of Nevada. Long ago where Reno now sits, bridges were built to span the Truckee River to ferry gold and silver back east, and Reno quickly sprung up as a waystation. When the railroad came through, Reno and nearby Sparks became major centers of industry, a role which they continues to play for the state to this day. As time has gone by, the two cities have grown together to make up one large metropolitan area.

It wouldn't be Nevada without gambling, and Reno has ten major casinos to choose from. On the flipside, for those looking to spend their time outdoors, the city is within an hour of several major recreation destinations such as Lake Tahoe, Pyramid Lake, and the eastern Sierra Nevada range.

Reno-Sparks can be accessed from a variety of ways, but perhaps the most popular is via car on I-80. For more detailed information on the Reno area, please select an item of interest from the links on the left.

15 Best Things To Do in Reno

Updated September 2, 2022

The bright neon lights of Reno's casino district have beckoned to gamblers for decades; Atlantis and Peppermill casinos are two of the most popular places to challenge Lady Luck. But there's more to Reno than poker chips. The Biggest Little

• All Things To Do

Reno Riverwalk District Reno Riverwalk District free

Downtown Reno's updated Riverwalk area – located along the Truckee River between Arlington Avenue and Lake Street – draws art lovers and gourmands alike with its collection of galleries and restaurants. You'll find most of these destinations between West 2nd Street and the river's north bank; Island Avenue (on the river's south back), offers several more attractions to explore. Additional eateries and shops line California Avenue, often called Cal Ave., about five blocks south of the Truckee. Not sure where to begin? Tag along on a Wine Walk. This event – hosted by the Riverwalk Merchants Association for $30 per person — takes place the third Saturday of the month from 2 to 5 p.m. and includes wine tastings at more than a dozen bars, restaurants and specialty stores.

Recent visitors frequently described this area as an attractive, pleasant reprieve from the casinos (especially during the fall and spring as it can get hot in summer) and highly recommend it for those traveling with kids. Visitors generally appreciate the wide range of dining options as well as the outdoor entertainment. Some note that homeless people congregate in the area.

Lake Tahoe Lake Tahoe free

Sitting about 40 miles south of Reno straddling the border of Nevada and California, Lake Tahoe is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the country, boasting soaring mountains and crystal-clear waters. It's best known as a skiing destination, where visitors will find top-notch facilities like Palisades Tahoe (formerly named Squaw Valley, which hosted the 1960s Olympic Winter Games and was renamed in 2020 to avoid the continued use of a term known as a racist and sexist slur against Native American women) and the massive Heavenly Ski Resort . But Lake Tahoe also makes for an excellent summer getaway thanks to its sprawling beaches, ample boating and fishing opportunities, and well-maintained hiking and biking trails.

For the best views (no matter the season), visitors recommend a stop at Emerald Bay State Park on the California side of the lake. Visitors also marvel at the stunning blue water of the lake itself and enjoy the sheer breadth of things to do in the area.

National Automobile Museum National Automobile Museum

Even if you don't consider yourself an automobile aficionado, you'll want to make a stop at this museum, according to recent visitors. Home to more than 225 vehicles ranging from horseless carriages to race cars to celebrity rides, the National Automobile Museum covers a lot of ground. Most of the vehicles on display are from the estate of Bill Harrah (one of Nevada's casino gaming pioneers), which is why the museum is referred to as the Harrah Collection. Some of the museum's most notable pieces include the Thomas Flyer (winner of the 1908 New York-to-Paris Race) and the 1949 Mercury Series 9CM convertible driven by James Dean. The museum's holdings include numerous other cars associated with celebrities as well as a Batman-themed exhibit featuring one of the customized cars from the 1960s television series. It also displays full-scale models of vehicles from Disney Pixar's animated "Cars" franchise.

Car enthusiasts who visited raved about the museum's carefully restored pieces and said they were pleasantly surprised by its range of exhibits and educational value. Many were also quick to comment that the museum appeals to more than just automobile junkies and highly recommended taking a break from the casino to peruse the informative and entertaining displays.

Atlantis Casino Atlantis Casino

Atlantis Casino is much more than just a gaming hall. It’s also an entertainment center, wellness facility and dining destination.

The 60,000-square-foot Atlantis Casino has the requisite blackjack, baccarat, craps, poker, roulette and other table games as well as 1,400 slot machines. It regularly hosts various gaming tournaments, including a daily no-limit Texas Hold 'em tournament.

Peppermill Casino Peppermill Casino

Peppermill Resort Spa Casino is a hotel and gaming property with multiple initiatives focused on energy conservation and environmental sustainability. It boasts of being the sole U.S. resort to use heat completely generated from on-site geothermal energy. Additionally, its geothermal well provides all of the 1,621-room facility’s water. Peppermill Reno also has electric-car-charging stations, a water-recycling system for its laundry services and LED light bulbs, among other green efforts.

While Peppermill prides itself on its green initiatives, it doesn't sacrifice fun. Its 82,000-square-foot casino has a full complement of table games, slot machines and video poker machines. It has high-limit areas devoted to both slots and table games. Single- and multideck blackjack, four-card poker, roulette and many more are among the gaming options here. The casino also has a smoke-free poker room and a race and sports book with more than 100 TV screens. For players too young for the casino, Peppermill has its Game Lab, an arcade with video games as well as old-school arcade games.

Nevada Museum of Art Nevada Museum of Art

Founded in 1931, the Nevada Museum of Art is the oldest established cultural center in the state. But you wouldn't know that by looking at it. In 2003, it opened its current facility, a 70,000-square-foot building in the Riverwalk district designed by architect Will Bruder and inspired by the landscape and the geological formations of the Black Rock Desert. The structure was expanded in 2016 to create an enclosed event space on the fourth floor.

The permanent collections are divided into four themed areas featuring a variety of media: "Altered Landscape Photography," "Art of the Greater West," "Contemporary Art" and the "Work Ethic." Aside from its permanent collections and temporary exhibits, the museum also has its Center for Art + Environment, a research center that studies the creative interactions between people and their environments. Aside from the art, the building itself is a sight to see: its torqued exterior wall, suspended atrium staircase, and stunning views of the Reno skyline and the Sierra Nevada Mountains certainly warrant viewing.

Mount Rose Ski Resort Mount Rose Ski Resort

If you're itching to get on the slopes, but don't want to make the trek to Lake Tahoe, consider heading to Mount Rose. Situated about 25 miles southwest of downtown, Mount Rose is the closest ski area to Reno. And at 8,260 feet, it's also Tahoe's highest base resort, making for optimal ski conditions.

According to recent visitors, this is a great family-friendly ski area with varied terrain and a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Though reviewers were satisfied with the conditions, more than a few warned of brutal wind at the top of the mountain. Because of its convenient location, the mountain can get crowded on the weekends, according to travelers. You can avoid some of the congestion by visiting on a weekday.

Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum

Billed as a hands-on science center, the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum provides further proof that there's more to do in Reno than sit at a blackjack table. Exploring everything from science and technology to engineering and art, The Discovery offers a bevy of permanent galleries and temporary exhibitions across its 67,000 square feet. Some of the highlights include a three-story jungle gym that teaches visitors about the water cycle and an interactive replica of the Truckee River. "Mindbender Mansion" features dozens of brainteasers and puzzles to test adults' and kids' problem-solving abilities. Meanwhile, "Energy/Energía" is a bilingual exhibit all about energy use, creation and storage.

Recent visitors provided favorable reviews of the museum and especially recommend stopping here if you've got children in tow. And if you're visiting without kids, not to worry. Travelers say the museum does a splendid job keep adults engaged. Plus, the museum regularly offers adults-only evening events, such as its annual Chemistry of the Cocktail fundraiser and the Social Science series.

Rancho San Rafael Regional Park Rancho San Rafael Regional Park free

Diverse types of landscape – including wetland habitat, pasture grasses and sagebrush as well as mowed lawn – make up the nearly 600 acres of Rancho San Rafael Park in northern Reno. The southern portion of the park has an array of facilities including volleyball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, a dog park and hiking and biking paths. (The northern section is largely undeveloped, though it, too, has hiking trails as well as a disc golf course and softball fields.) The southern part also encompasses the Wilbur D. May Museum, named for a world traveler who amassed a collection of objects including African tribal masks, Chinese pottery, Egyptian tomb relics, Japanese swords and Polynesian carvings as well as firearms, glasswork and taxidermy. The park also has an arboretum and botanical garden. Rancho San Rafael hosts numerous events throughout the year, including the Great Reno Balloon Race and Dragon Lights Reno.

Parkgoers consistently call this area a pleasant place to take a walk (with or without a dog) or have a picnic. They judge it be well-maintained and full of things to do. While many say it merits visiting at any time of year, some say fall, when leaves change color, is the ideal time to go. Museum-goers note that the building is small but worth seeing for the curiosities it contains.

Tahoe-Pyramid Trail Tahoe-Pyramid Trail free

The Tahoe-Pyramid Trail remains a work-in-progress but significant portions of it have been realized. When complete, it will be a continuous 114-mile trail alongside the Truckee River from its source on the west side of Lake Tahoe in California to its end at Lake Pyramid northeast of Reno. Hikers and bikers following the full planned course from the first lake of its name to the second will descend more than 2,400 feet. The trail was not created from scratch. Rather, it connects previously existing roads, trails and paths with new sections. (In Reno, the Riverwalk comprises part of the trail.) The route from Lake Tahoe to Reno and beyond is intact; some blanks are yet to be filed between the city and the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Reservation.

Trail-takers say it affords spectacular views of the river and its surroundings. Visitors should be aware that some portions of the trail are paved and level but others are dirt tracks that can be rocky and challenging to navigate.

Animal Ark Animal Ark

Not all wild animals are found in Reno's nightclubs; some are found in Animal Ark. Sitting on 38 acres 25 miles north of Reno, this facility is not a zoo, but rather a "safe haven for injured, abandoned or otherwise non-releasable wildlife," according to its website . Animals from all over the world have taken shelter within the ark's enclosures because they lack the necessary skills to live in the wild, sometimes due to disabilities or being orphaned at young ages. Visitors have the opportunity to watch the ark's residents – which include bears, cheetahs, birds and foxes, among other species – interact and play. You'll also learn how each animal came to be residents of Animal Ark.

Though visitors admit the sanctuary is a bit of a drive from downtown Reno, reviewers said it was worth the extra effort, especially if you're traveling with young kids. If you can, plan to get there in the morning when it's still cool; recent visitors said that's when the animals are most active, especially the bears (they're fed at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. – a highlight for many travelers). Another tip from both travelers and Animal Ark: bring a picnic lunch to take advantage of the facility's many outdoor tables and play areas. Also be prepared for high temperatures under sunny skies.

Greater Nevada Field Greater Nevada Field

Looking for another opportunity to enjoy some fresh Reno air? Consider paying a visit to Greater Nevada Field, home to the Reno Aces: the city's minor league baseball team and Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. While the park doesn't offer skyline views, it does boast a vantage point of the surrounding mountain range. In addition to baseball games, the stadium host events like a beer festival and concerts. Aside from its location along the Truckee River, the ballpark received praise from recent visitors for its cleanliness and variety of concession food.

Game tickets vary in price, depending on where you choose to sit and the opponent. The ballpark has arrangements with two adjacent parking garages for which fans can purchase prepaid passes; there are also several other parking garages in the vicinity. To view a season schedule and read more about the ballpark, visit the Greater Nevada Field's  website .

Reno , the "Biggest Little City in the World" is in the beautiful north-west region of the State of Nevada , right at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is the second largest tourist destination in Nevada, featuring resorts, gaming, family entertainment, outdoor activities, festivals, museums, fantastic cuisine, shows for everyone, art and culture.

Understand [ edit ]

Reno is steeped in a rich, diverse, and rugged history. This is where the historic Johnson-Jeffries fight happened. This is where Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable made The Misfits in 1961—the last completed film for both (Gable died in 1960, after shooting was complete but before release; Monroe died in 1962). It is where the railroad tumbles down out of the mountains from California to cross the Truckee River and begin the long journey east. It's difficult to walk the streets of Reno without seeing the history in this dynamic city.

Most Renoites consider the start of it all to be 1859, when Charles Fuller built a log bridge across the Truckee River and started charging to cross over it on the way to the Gold Rush in California or coming back to Nevada for the "Washoe Rush" in Virginia City . Fuller set up shelter for weary travelers to rest. He served meals at a price, and created an opportunity for prospectors to exchange stories and information.

The town site of Reno, named after Civil War General Jesse Reno, was established on May 13, 1868.

Since its beginning, Reno has spread across much of the Truckee Meadows. Reno and Sparks (a smaller adjacent city) now spread across this small valley separating the Sierra Nevada mountains to the West and Nevada's expansive desert areas to the East.

The profiteering characteristic of the founders may have occasionally plagued the course of Reno's subsequent generations. Some Renoites claim Nevadans are simply of a freer nature. Others think the city has repeated the steps of the goldrush era founders. Certainly, the choices made today are what will determine the true nature of the community. Regardless, Reno enjoys a pretty decent quality of life with four seasons, winter and summer fun, a major university, and plenty of other entertainment.

Reno is in Northwestern Nevada, at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and serves as the urban center for a region including nearby Carson City and the Carson Valley, Lake Tahoe , Pyramid Lake, and historic mining town Virginia City, home of the Comstock Lode. Along with the city of Sparks , Reno is in the Truckee Meadows, and together they form the Reno-Sparks Metropolitan Area.

Competition in the last years of the 20th century slowed down the gambling business in Reno considerably. Given that its downtown centered around these activities for a good 50 years, the same downtown suffered. Downtown today has weathered the storm, and is improving with projects like a baseball and entertainment district and several condo projects that were completed despite economic slowdown. Growth in the area has continued due to its livability. Reno is working hard to build a different kind of city for a greater variety of tastes, and keeping that in mind will help the visitor see the town through the right kind of eyes.

Climate [ edit ]

Reno is at the western edge of the Great Basin , a zone stretching to Salt Lake City that does not drain to the sea - water is carried away by evaporation only. Average precipitation is approximately 7 in (180 mm) a year, with much of that occurring in the winter in the form of snow. July is the warmest month, with an average high of 91 °F (33 °C), and January is the coldest month, with an average low of 19 °F (−7 °C).

Get in [ edit ]

By car [ edit ], from northern california [ edit ].

As Reno and the Sierra Nevada are popular weekend destinations for Northern Californians, traffic can be bad coming to Reno on Friday evening, and leaving Reno on Sunday evening, especially in the ski season.

The most direct route to Reno from Sacramento is via Interstate 80 over Donner Summit (7239 feet or 2206 m). This route sees a great deal of snowfall during the winter, and will shut down for periods of up to a day several times during a typical winter. Northern California residents also use U.S. 395 in Susanville , this highway stays at a lower elevation and has less problems of traffic and weather. Residents living in the Redding and Chico areas of California find this route safer and quicker. If you plan on crossing this or any other pass in the Sierra Nevada in the winter, keep an eye on the weather forecast, and always carry tire chains if you do not have four-wheel drive.

An alternative route is US 50 over Echo Summit (7330 feet). This route follows the American River up from the Sacramento Valley , and then drops into the Lake Tahoe Basin. From there you can continue on US 50 into Carson City , and from there head north to Reno on US 395, or continue around the lake to Incline Village and drop into Reno on the Mount Rose Highway. This route is two lanes only for much of the way, and traffic can be heavy both in the winter and the summer, and winter maintenance is not as good as on Interstate 80.

Passes across the Sierra south of US 50, aside from CA 88, are not maintained in the winter (from approximately November until May.) And when they are open they are out of the way and potentially dangerous.

From Southern California [ edit ]

The most direct route to Reno is via US 395. This route takes you up the Owens Valley to Bishop , past Mammoth Lakes , into Carson City and thence to Reno. The portion between Bishop and Carson City crosses three passes as high as 8,143 ft (2,482 m) that may have moderately heavy snowfall during winter storms. In that event it would be better to take U.S. 6 from Bishop over Montgomery Pass to U.S. 95 (north) which stays in much lower valleys with less snow. At Schurz beyond Walker Lake take 95(Alt) north to Fernley , then I-80 west to Reno.

From Las Vegas [ edit ]

Don't be fooled by the fact that Las Vegas and Reno are in the same state - there are about 8 hours of driving time separating them. Take US 95 north to Fallon , US 50 west to Fernley, and Interstate 80 west to Reno. If you're not a fan of desert landscapes, boredom is a serious risk on this trip. Winter weather will generally not be a large problem on this trip, but don't count on being able to find food or fuel outside the major towns ( Beatty , Tonopah , Hawthorne , Fallon, and Fernley)

During the summer the heat along US 95 can be hard on you and on your vehicle. A much more comfortable alternative to cooking in your car is to drive during the night. Many of the dark stretches between the small towns along US 95 reveal numerous shooting stars and other astral phenomena that you might miss during the baking sun. Keep in mind that driving at night can be dangerous due to the visibility limitations from the hills and the mountains. Be sure to have a lot of rest before undertaking this trip.

From the East [ edit ]

The most traveled route to Reno from the east is Interstate 80. Interstate 80 follows the old Emigrant trail along the Humboldt river for most of the way across Nevada, and thus the grades are generally easy. However, it does this at the expense of swinging well north of the direct route to Reno. US 50 ("The Loneliest Highway in America ") is more direct, but it crosses several large mountain ranges and thus has some tight curves, steep grades and a few switchbacks. Don't count on finding food or fuel along US 50 outside of the major towns ( Ely , Eureka, Austin, Fallon and Fernley).

By train [ edit ]

Amtrak serves Reno via its California Zephyr service between Emeryville and Chicago , and stops once a day in both directions. 39.5287 -119.811564 1 Reno Station is in the middle of downtown Reno, on 280 N Center St, and is within walking distance of all the downtown casinos. The station is full service, including an indoor waiting room and checked bag service. Amtrak California also operates shuttle buses between Reno and Sacramento which connects to the Capitol Corridor , serving Northern California, and the San Joaquins , serving the Central Valley and points south, rail routes.

Get around [ edit ]

Reno is served by two freeways: I-80 running east-west, and US 580 (previously 395), running north-south. Circling the valley of the Truckee Meadows is the McCarran Blvd ring road. The primary business artery is Virginia Street, which runs north-south through downtown Reno. Major east-west routes include Moana Lane, Plumb Lane, Mill Street, Second Street, Fourth Street, and Sixth Street. Major routes running north-south in Reno include Keystone Avenue, Lakeside Drive, Wells Avenue, and Kietzke Lane.

Car rental [ edit ]

Nearly all national car rental agencies serve the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Note that several agencies do not have fleets within the airport property. Most notably, Enterprise's fleet is 1 mile away from the terminal. However, the terminal includes an Enterprise service counter, they offer free shuttle service during business hours, and taxi vouchers and a pickup hotline for drop-offs after hours.

Reno's transit system, called RTC RIDE , is operated by the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County. The busiest route, the #1 bus, has been replaced with two services, RTC RAPID, a priority express bus making limited stops, and RTC CONNECT, the local. RAPID runs 15 minutes or better headways most of the day through Downtown Reno (a good place to start is the RTC 4th Street Station at 4th and Lake) and down South Virginia Street (the major north-south street) to Meadowood Mall. RTC RAPID should serve any tourist well for most shopping, dining, and gambling needs.

Other routes to know about are the #11, which runs between downtown Reno and downtown Sparks, and the Sierra Spirit circulator bus (7AM – 7PM), which connects various downtown destinations along the Virginia Street corridor down to the Truckee River to the south and the University of Nevada, Reno, to the north. In downtown Reno, all buses stop at or near the RTC 4th Street Station at 4th and Lake St, where you can also find The Bus Book.

Fares may be paid on the bus by cash (exact change) or by pass. All RTC RIDE passes are available from the Pass Vending Machines (as of March 28, 2011 all day passes are $4 at the station, if you buy them on the bus they are $5. One trip fare is $2, but asking for a transfer allows travel on any bus in any direction for 1½ hrs from the time of purchase. All major casinos have a bus stop for easy access), available at RTC 4th Street Station and Meadowood Mall, and may be purchased with cash, coin, debit or credit cards (cash only if purchased on the bus).

By taxi [ edit ]

Reno's taxis are plentiful, efficient, and comfortable. At the airport, downtown or near any major casino they should be very easy to come by, in other places expect to call to arrange pick-up. Don't drink and drive.

See [ edit ]

Reno is an interesting city, with plenty to see and do day and night; many attractions which should be considered "must-see" are 30–60 minutes outside of town by car. Therefore, renting a car is a good idea when visiting Reno.

Gambling [ edit ]

Casinos are Reno's most common visitor attraction and no entry to Reno would be complete without an overview of them. In addition to gambling, these properties provide a variety of dining and entertainment opportunities and should not be overlooked.

Downtown [ edit ]

If you see billboards or other advertisements for The Row , that refers to the trio of Circus Circus, Eldorado and the Silver Legacy. All three are Caesars Entertainment properties and connected with walkways so you can go through all three without setting foot outside.

Elsewhere [ edit ]

Outdoor activities [ edit ], climb [ edit ].

The granite faces around the Reno area offer fantastic rock climbing locations for experienced climbers, such as Donner Pass and Big Chief near Lake Tahoe. For those who are less experienced, or just want to stay indoors, there are also three climbing gyms in Reno that offer good training and a fun time.

• 39.52798 -119.81448 14 Basecamp , 255 N Virginia St , ☏ +1 775-398-5443 . Open climb daily 6AM–10PM .

Kayak [ edit ]

Reno offers a kayak park at Wingfield Park. Equipment rentals and outdoor adventures can be booked nearby.

Mountain biking [ edit ]

The open desert terrain that surrounds much of Reno, especially to the Northwest, offers some fantastic mountain biking . Peavine mountain has many networks of trails that are a biker's paradise, most of it singletrack, and most of it technical. Many cyclists start near Rancho San Rafael Park to access the Peavine trails. Be careful, however, as there are often gun-happy residents shooting away, not always sober, farther out in the government lands; also be sure to bring plenty of water, as the desert heat can be quite oppressive. Find more information in books such as Mountain Biking Reno & Carson City: Best Trails by R.W. Miskimins. Nearby areas, like Lake Tahoe offer even more for the mountain biker, such as Tahoe's famous Flume Trail.

Road biking [ edit ]

There is a rather good bike trail along the Truckee River which extends from the eastern fringes of Sparks to the western limits of Reno and beyond. The section inside city limits is fun and easy for bikers of any skill level, but is actually only a section of the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway which—when completed—will run from Lake Tahoe all the way to Pyramid Lake: 116 miles (187 km) in total. Another paved and mostly flat bike trail runs alongside Veterans Parkway in the southeast.

Hiking [ edit ]

Reno and its surrounding areas have thousands of miles of hiking trails, ranging from park strolls to mountain wilderness treks. Washoe county maintains a Truckee Meadows Trails guide, though this is not comprehensive for all trails in the region.

• Evans Canyon and the "N" . Begins in the northern half of Rancho San Rafael Park. For a moderate hike, the Evans Creek trail runs in a loop on both sides of the eponymous canyon creek. There is also "the N", a massive whitewash painted landmark set into the side of a hill on the north end of the park. Two trails lead up to the N: a longer but easier route from the side, or a harder straight ascent from the base of the hill.
• 39.31317 -119.89739 17 Mt. Rose Trail . Hiking to the peak and back is over ten miles (15 km) and takes a large portion of the day but rewards you with some very impressive panoramic views on a clear day. For a shorter excursion, the waterfall around halfway up makes a good turn-around point. Very good area for wildflower viewing. ( updated May 2023 )

Ski [ edit ]

Reno is within two hours of an incredible number of ski resorts. Here is a short list.

Burning Man [ edit ]

Reno is the closest major city to Black Rock City and the corresponding Burning Man festival. Many burners pass through Reno on the way to Black Rock City, and many Reno businesses cater to burners by stocking extra water and camping supplies during the Burning Man week. Some hotels offer Burning Man discounts for travellers staying overnight in Reno.

Buy [ edit ]

Exploring the Truckee River Arts District will give you firsthand experience of Downtown Reno's 21st-century urban renaissance. There are two main shopping and dining hubs in the district:

• The " Riverwalk " area. The North end of Reno's Riverwalk District meanders along Reno 's beautiful Truckee River. Most of the retail activity on this end is situated along First Street between Lake St. (east) and Arlington St. (west). This end of the district has galleries, coffee shops, great dining including a brewery and a French restaurant and even a movie theater. Reno 's renowned Truckee River Whitewater Park runs directly through this area offering visitors even more adventurous outdoor activities in the urban setting of downtown Reno. Kayak and raft rentals from Tahoe Whitewater Tours ( ☏ +1-800-442-7238 ) are available at Wingfield Park at the 1st and Arlington Street area.
• The "CalAve" area. CalAve is the section of the Truckee River Arts District that runs along California Avenue. This area forms the southernmost border of the district and is quickly becoming Reno 's pre-eminent neighborhood retail, restaurant, entertainment and business district. CalAve is a must-see with highlights such as the Chocolate Bar - a trendy place to sip alcoholic and nonalcoholic chocolate drinks while sampling addictive confections like their Chili-Infused Truffles. Enjoy a slice of Blue Moon's famous gourmet pizza or enjoy wine, cheeses and other lunch specialties at the Cheese Board. The retail options on CalAve will satisfy the serious shopper offering a variety of upscale clothing, shoe and home decor shops.

Regionally, Reno features a variety of attractions which are hard to beat. These attractions are best experienced during the spring, summer, and early fall, as wintertime in the area renders most of them closed. Reno gets cold in the winter, so if you're visiting in the winter, look to ski resorts to entertain you during the day.

• There are several world-class ski areas within a one-hour drive of Reno, including Squaw Valley (home of the 1960 Winter Olympics), Heavenly and Alpine Meadows.
• The eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park is 150 miles (240 km) south (on US395 to California 120; allow at least 3 hours), and is generally much less crowded than the western entrances. Excellent dayhiking and backpacking are found around Tuolomne Meadows and Dana Pass before descending into more crowded Yosemite Valley. However, beware of this entrance if you suffer from altitude sickness - the elevation of the park gate is nearly 10,000 feet.
• Washoe Valley: Bower's Mansion & Davis Creek Park . Washoe Valley is a very picturesque valley about 30 minutes south of Reno by car (US-395) and features two great regional parks which should not be missed: Bower's Mansion and Davis Creek Park. Davis Creek park features the creek of the same name and a great pond for winter ice skating (conditions permitting) as well as fantastic access to the Sierra Nevada mountains (it sits at the base) Features campsites and showers. Bower's Mansion is a park with a swimming pool open in the summertime and the mansion which is the park's namesake. Tours of the mansion are available throughout the day in the summertime and well worth it – telling a story of the enrichment and eventual tragic downfall of a family which struck it rich on the Comstock Lode. Washoe Valley is also home to Washoe Lake State Park . In years when the lake is full, this park features a boat landing and some of the best windsurfing to be found, plus campsites, and some fantastic scenery.
• Virginia City . The home of the Comstock Lode, this was once the largest city between Denver and San Francisco. It is a historic landmark district and can be accessed from Reno via Geiger Grade (Hwy 341, east from Mt Rose Junction south of town) or Mound House just east of Carson City (also via Hwy 341) If you are not comfortable with mountain driving it may be worth your time to go through Carson City. Worth it to have a drink at one of its storied saloons (a popular one is Bucket of Blood, others abound), to wander its historic C Street, wander through its cemetery, and if you're a train buff, to ride the V&T tourist train (and learn more about the ongoing efforts to recreate the original route of this historic short-line railroad).
• Carson City . From its founding this town was intended to be Nevada's capital city. The historic Carson City mint is now home to the Nevada State Museum, with exhibits dealing with everything from prehistoric native life to the Old West mining boom to the current day. The State Capitol Complex is an ideal location for a stroll and a look inside the political history and workings of the state, especially in springtimes of odd-numbered years, when the Legislature is in session. A tour of historic homes and the personalities behind them can be taken by following the blue lines on the sidewalks, beginning from downtown. The Brewery Arts Center features theater, live music, and visual arts offerings throughout the week.
• Lake Tahoe . Shared with California, this alpine lake features crystal clear cold water, and a variety of attractions including the MS Dixie paddlewheel trawler, Vikingsholm Castle, and the South Lake Tahoe/Stateline casino and tourist center. Other notable things to see and do include the picturesque California town of King's Beach, in addition to beaches and parks at Crystal Bay, Zephyr Cove, and more. 45 minutes from Reno via Hwy 431, the Mount Rose Highway; with a less treacherous drive through Carson City via Highway 50 West taking an hour and a half.
• Pyramid Lake . The second largest terminus lake in North America, this desert lake features a variety of interesting rock formations and is home to endangered but large Lahontan Cutthroat Trout . A high holy site to the native Paiute Indians, it is contained entirely within the Paiute Reservation. Fishing, boating and swimming are available, though caution is advised for the latter two (random windstorms and undercurrents belie the relatively placid appearance the lake usually assumes). Roughly an hour north of town, on Pyramid Highway, SR 428.
• U.S. Route 50 eastward across Nevada, nicknamed the Loneliest Road in America crosses semi-desert mountains and valleys and passes through historic mining towns Austin, Eureka and Ely , then at the Utah line, the entrance to Great Basin National Park .

The Top 12 Things to Do in Reno

Courtesy of Visit Reno Tahoe

It endures labels such as “a poor man’s Las Vegas,” but one visit to Reno dispels such nonsense. Reno might not match Vegas’ glitz and star power, but it offers attractions unavailable near The Strip.

Reno resides on the edge of the Sierra Nevada range, with outstanding opportunities for alpine hiking, rock climbing and skiing. Nearby Lake Tahoe ranks among America’s most-photographed natural wonders. A preserved taste of the Old West lives in neighboring Virginia City.

The city’s 20 major casinos generate more than a half-billion dollars in annual revenue. Visitors find many opportunities to test their luck.

Beyond gaming, consider these 12 enticing Reno attractions. Some require a short drive, but most are in or near the city center.

Enjoy Reno’s Scenic Stretch of the Truckee River

Not many cities boast whitewater rapids flowing within sight of downtown high-rises. On either Truckee bank, an excellent system of paved trails connects with pedestrian bridges over the river. Eight city parks hug the shoreline.

Within steps of that shore is the Riverwalk District, a collection of more than 60 restaurants, shops, and other downtown tenants determined to bring foot traffic into Reno. Inexpensive city parking is available along this stretch.

During the summer, visitors swim, raft and kayak, with on-site rentals available. The Class 2 to 3 rapids are safe for novices and families to enjoy.

Experience Gorgeous Lake Tahoe

The northern shore of Lake Tahoe, about 40 miles from downtown Reno, is a bit more “off the beaten path” than the southern end, where high-rise resorts greet tourists and casino players.  Lake Cruises depart from Zephyr Cove Resort. It costs less to rent a kayak for half the day, or plan a hiking excursion in adjacent state parks. Lake lovers don’t always agree on where to find the most photogenic overlook, but Inspiration Point in California’s Emerald Bay State Park is a popular choice for taking pictures.

Gear Up for Some World-Class Skiing

The Lake Tahoe region ranks among the best ski areas in the United States for two reasons: huge vertical drops and high elevations that rarely lack heavy winter snow. Mount Rose Ski Resort is about 25 miles south of Reno, while other famous slopes such as Squaw Valley require a longer trip. In all, greater Lake Tahoe offers 13 major resorts, 10 of which are on the Reno side of the lake.

Ride Into History at the National Automobile Museum

Courtesy of National Automobile Museum

After gaming pioneer Bill Harrah died in 1978, Holiday Inn acquired his collection of 1,400 cars and all the accompanying research. Plans to sell the collection prompted much anger in the Reno area. In response, Holiday Inn donated 175 vehicles and Harrah’s research to create one of the nation’s top automobile museums.    

It is possible to spend hours here examining all types of vehicles. Movie buffs will find James Dean’s 1949 Mercury coupe amid cars owned by Frank Sinatra, John F. Kennedy, and Lana Turner.

Venture Back into the Old West in Virginia City

Prospectors pursuing the Comstock Lode made Virginia City the biggest town between Denver and San Francisco in the months and years following the Civil War. Throughout its rich history, this place endured boom-and-bust cycles and lives today as a monument to the Old West. Wooden sidewalks connect buildings restored to original specs. Touristy kitsch is always at arm’s length, but visitors find an excellent walking tour that starts at the city’s welcome center.  

The 25-mile drive south from Reno up to Virginia City’s mountain perch is an experience in itself. Take Highway 341 and experience sweeping views of the Sierra Nevada range and the city of Reno.

Take in Reno’s Special Events

Few cities of Reno’s size host a more robust selection of festivals and major public events. The 13 top annual events—known as The Iconics —include national championship air races, a hot-air balloon race, a classic car promenade called “Hot August Nights,” a professional rodeo, and even a Shakespeare festival staged on the Lake Tahoe shoreline. 

Check the online schedule for scores of smaller events each month that cater to niche audiences. In November, for example, Reno hosts the Off Beat Music Festival , featuring unknown but promising musicians from a variety of genres.

Visit Injured and Orphaned Species at Animal Ark

Courtesy of Animal Ark

Animal Ark wildlife sanctuary, about 25 miles north of downtown Reno, is not primarily a tourist attraction. It exists to provide “a safe haven for injured, abandoned and otherwise non-releasable wildlife.” However, visitors can observe this work from a mile-long trail. Docent-led tours are available, as are golf cart rentals for those unable to walk long distances. The “park closed” sign hangs from November to March, but occasional weekend openings occur during that time. Popular arrival times are 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. when staffers feed the bears.

Explore Downtown Street Art

Reno loves street art as evidenced by the many major works displayed across the downtown area. Artists arrive from around the world to create their masterpieces. Each year, the city sponsors a mural marathon competition staged on the side of the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino on Virginia St. ArtSpot Reno provides an online map for self-guided mural tours, and, during warmer months, docent-led tours.

Scale the World’s Largest Climbing Wall

The side of downtown Reno’s Whitney Peak Hotel boasts the world’s tallest artificial climbing wall , according to the Guinness Book of World Records. That 164-foot climb isn’t for everyone, so BaseCamp, the facility that administers this record-setter, also offers a 7,000-square-foot indoor bouldering park. BaseCamp caters mostly to Reno residents but offers day passes for visitors who want to test their climbing skills.

Go Interactive at Terry Lee Wells Discovery Museum

First opened in 2011, the place locals call The Discovery has become Reno’s interactive home for STEAM learning (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics). It started as a children’s museum, and still caters to young audiences, but teenagers and adults also make interactive science discoveries in this learning lab. Visitors can walk through a detailed human anatomy exhibit, create their own original artworks, or use real tools and materials to invent simple machines.

Feast on Reno’s Burgeoning Restaurant Scene

It may be a surprise but Reno has an impressive food scene that just keeps getting better. In addition to great resort dining options, downtown Reno supports a growing collection of innovative eateries. Visitors will find enough must-try restaurants to enable new discoveries each day.

The Depot houses a craft brewery, a distillery, and an ambitious chef who creates unique in-house food items at moderate prices. The Brasserie St. James combines a brewery and a restaurant serving up a variety of inventive beers and pub fare while Too Soul Tea Company can compete with tea houses in London

Tour the Nevada Museum of Art

The exterior of this museum is an artistic statement itself, designed to mimic formations in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. Inside, the goal is “an ideal place for dynamic conversations about the ways that humans creatively interact with environments.” Collections focus on the work ethic in American art, an altered landscape photography section, a contemporary art area, and a fourth division reserved for art of the Greater West.

Check the museum calendar for symposia and special exhibits throughout the year. Another extra: the museum is home to Chez Louie , among downtown Reno’s most popular must-try lunch spots.

Adventure Centers to bring day trips to northern and southern Nevada

Airing later this week on kolo.

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Two new Adventure Centers will soon be coming soon to Nevada.

“Nevada adventure centers will be a federal state and local partnership to provide guided turnkey access to outdoor activities,” said Brenda Scolari, the Director of the State Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs.

She tells us that there are two of these centers in the works. One in Boulder City in southern Nevada, and the other in Carson City.

Travel Nevada says they were intentionally built outside of Reno and Las Vegas.

“Overall, we want Nevada residents and visitors to understand what is available outside of Vegas and Reno,” Scolari said.

The centers were made possible due to the state receiving a highly competitive grant.

The combined cost of both projects is just over $6 million and will be built on existing state-owned parcels of land.

“I think the strength of the concept is what won us the grant,” Scolari added. “We hope they can be replicated elsewhere in the state and create revenue and resources for smaller communities in Nevada.”

The design of the center in Boulder City is being inspired by city’s connection to Lake Mead, and the one in Carson City will be part of the Nevada State Railroad Museum campus.

And Scolari says once they are up and running day trips will be what people can expect.

Construction is set to begin next year, and they are scheduled to be up and running early in 2026.

Reasons To Buy Local

 AI  From Our Editors: The following writing is created using artificial intelligence and has been edited for Quality Assurance.

"Buy Local" is a sentiment that emphasizes the importance of patronizing local businesses and products. It's a movement that encourages people to prioritize buying from local shops, farmers' markets, artisans, and small businesses rather than solely relying on big-box stores and big online retailers.

Reasons to Buy Local:

• Community Support: Buying local helps support the local economy by keeping money circulating within the community. This, in turn, can create jobs and boost economic growth.
• Environmental Impact: Local businesses often have a smaller carbon footprint compared to large corporations that may transport goods over long distances. Buying locally can reduce transportation-related pollution.
• Unique Products and Services: Local businesses often offer unique products and services that may not be available from larger retailers. This diversity adds to the cultural richness of an area.
• Personal Connections: Shopping locally can foster relationships between consumers and local business owners. It creates a sense of community and allows for personalized service.
• Preservation of Local Culture: Supporting local businesses helps preserve the unique character and identity of a place. It can prevent the homogenization of communities seen with widespread corporate chains.

Overall, "Buy Local" is a call to action for people to be mindful of where they spend their money and to prioritize supporting local businesses whenever possible .

When you spend $100 at a local business, about $48 to $68 stays in the community.

When you spend $100 at a large chain business, about $15 to $25 stays in the community.
