Overview
You may know Reno as a city awash in a neon glow of gambling or for its antiquated reputation for quickie divorces, but the Reno of today is fundamentally transformed. Locals and visitors alike take advantage of the year-round outdoor playground afforded by the Truckee River, the region's close proximity to Lake Tahoe, and the surrounding, soaring Sierra Nevada mountains. Enjoy the spoils of the nationally recognized, flourishing foodie and arts scenes. Welcome the chance to explore the region's culture and history characterized by its foundational role in the silver rush and its historic college town roots. If you're preparing to move to the area, planning a trip, or if you're a local looking for itineraries for out-of-towners, 100 Things to Do in Reno Before You Die is your comprehensive guide. Explore destinations for taking in stunning sunrises, sunsets, and dramatic high-desert vistas, and gain an insider's perspective about places to get pampered, enjoy craft beers, eat all-you- can-eat sushi, and pay tribute to Reno's storied past. With each new experience under your belt, you'll gain further appreciation for the meaning behind the town's mottoThe Biggest Little City in the World."
