What is There to Do in Reno?

Reno sits in the Nevada desert. It is a small city and is not quite to the stature of its close neighbor, Las Vegas. However, Reno still has ample opportunities for gambling like Las Vegas. In addition, Reno offers a an extensive variety of entertainment and attractions that have nothing to do with gambling. Set your sights on Reno for not only its gambling, but its exciting entertainment as well.

One of the most notable features that the Reno area has to offer is of course Lake Tahoe. Visitors love traveling around the 72 miles of shoreline of this desert lake. With features like camping, hiking and a host of other outdoor activities to choose from, Lake Tahoe remains an excellent place to spend the rest of your vacation should you lose your shirt on the first night in the Reno casinos!

Just up the road from Reno is a place called Virginia City. It is the location where Mark Twain wrote his "Territorial Enterprise" and remains to the this day a popular destination for people in the Reno area. There are museums to walk through, mines to explore, and the air is almost always cooler than that of Reno itself.

Interested in fun, wet, wild activities? Go to Wild Waters in Sparks. It has access from Interstate 80. Wild Waters offers activities that the entire family will love. You can play miniature golf or race go-karts. Yummy food is available at Wild Waters.

Want to visit a Reno area attraction that is off the beaten path? Spend some time in Whitewater Park on the Truckee. It was built for kayakers by the city of Reno. It runs through the downtown area, so you can easily get started kayaking. You can also take a relaxing walk along the water.

Located very close to Reno is a place known as Pyramid Lake (for a desert location, there are an awful lot of lakes and waterways, aren't there?!?!). Pyramid Lake is a great place where people can rent a boat, take a peaceful picnic on the beach, or engage in any number of fun outdoor activities.

You can also include an artistic experience by visiting the large number of art studios and galleries. Take in the galleries on 1st street, South Virignia Street, and California Avenue. They are an exciting adventure for any art admirer. They offer impeccable Southwestern art plus art from all over the glob. You can absorb the unique, local culture at these placed.

If you want to head the more traditional activity route, you can spend time in the Reno casinos. Wedding services such as chapels are available just like they are in Las Vegas. As you can see, Reno has so much to offer. Take a trip to Reno today.
