Places To Go In Reno
In the dark desert night, the searing neon of downtown Reno forms a dazzling spectacle. This electric sea of beckoning signs and a cacophony of sound lures visitors into waiting restaurants and casinos. As the tinkling of silverware melds into the clack of dice tossed across felt-covered tabletops, the stars above the Nevada landscape fade into the pink-hued sunrise over “The Biggest Little City in the World.” As the world slowly awakens to a new day, you’ll find more things to do in Reno beyond the bright lights.
Visiting Reno
To thoroughly enjoy Reno attractions beyond the air-conditioned lobbies, it may be necessary to indulge in a bit of shopping. Away from the chorus of electronic slot machines beeping and the soft crooning of lounge singers in the nearby Reno hotels, the city is beginning to stir in the Riverwalk District. Here’s where you’ll find the outdoor gear you’ll need, along with a lavish breakfast and hot coffee to fortify you for skiing down the powdery slopes at Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows. Add lift tickets to your Reno vacation packages to speed your ascent to the mountaintop, where you can work on perfecting your jumps and kick-turns. Not to worry, no one witnessed that graceless tumble in your puffy cheetah-print ski suit. Soothe your sore legs with a trip to the National Automobile Museum and its four-wheeled wonders, touring the fascinating innovations that saved us from having to snowshoe to work.
Though the blinding glow of the city can at first be hypnotizing, you won’t have to rack your brain to decide what to do in Reno. So much more awaits in this popular Nevada destination. Find and book your vacation on Travelocity, where you can reserve your airfare, hotel, and trip up the bunny slopes with just a few clicks.
