There’s the old adage that says you can’t be all things to all people, but Reno sure tries to come close. The city has been marketing itself as “America’s Adventure Place” and whether your idea of adventure is on the slopes, on a single track or at the slots, Reno won’t disappoint. While gambling is still a big attraction, don’t mistake this area for Las Vegas; if you’re looking for a fantasy world of exotic casino-hotels you’re in the wrong end of the state. Here the gaming action is only a part of the experience. Sure, you can have a great time gambling here 24 hours a day year-round, but it’s the heady combination of hotel bargains, great restaurants, a myriad of outdoor activities, and close proximity to Lake Tahoe that make Reno a fun and affordable tourist destination.
