Reno, or “The Biggest Little City in the World” has been known as the “smaller Vegas” for most of its history. The city offers no shortage of Vegas-like fun, but with its proximity to Lake Tahoe, it is blossoming into a city filled with cultural and fun attractions of a new kind.
Classic Reno is still a major draw for travelers and tourists. Casinos, clubs, resorts and the like makeup most of the downtown “strip”. Try your luck at the tables, gamble at the slots or catch a show at major casinos such as The Atlantis or The El Dorado. These offer resort-style pools in the summer months as well to enjoy fun in the sun.
The city is seeing a resurgence of art and cultural entertainment options, with over 20 art galleries, and the University of Nevada’s art department in town, there are plenty of rotating exhibits to catch every day. For foodies, visit the newly re-done East 4th street. Here you will find old buildings finding new life as restaurants, breweries and craft cocktail bars, most who source their food locally, showcasing the local flavor. Two not to miss breweries are the Depot Craft Brewery and Under the Rose Brewing Company.
Reno has a prime location, set only an hour or less to Lake Tahoe. Outdoor adventures flock there during all seasons for fun. In the winter, Reno and your vacation rental can be your base camp for world-class skiing, snowboarding, tubing, snowshoeing and more. During the Summer, Lake Tahoe is a major draw for kayaking, swimming, stand up paddle boarding and hiking. The area also offers some of the best mountain biking trails (The Flume Trail) in the state for those who bring or rent bikes.
