About Reno

Set close to the Californian border in north-western Nevada, Reno fuses its retro party vibe with a friendly community feel, striking mid-century architecture and a clutch of top-notch museums, all surrounded by the sprawling landscapes of the Sierra Nevada. Accommodation options range from simple, self-catering spots to contemporary city hotels, fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets. The best places to stay in Reno are in the heart of town: perfect for exploring casinos, restaurants and museums on foot.

The neon Reno Arch is an icon — and a great spot from which to begin discovering ‘The Biggest Little City in the World’. Highlights of the city centre include the Nevada Museum of Art, the National Automobile Museum, and the attractive University of Nevada Campus. The Nevada Historical Society Museum and the Fleischmann Planetarium & Science Centre are both well worth visiting. If you’re travelling as a family, Discovery will be a sure-fire hit. For world-class casinos, look no further than Atlantis.

Head slightly out of town to the Galena Creek Recreation Area for beautiful hiking trails in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, or try rafting on the Truckee River. There are opportunities to go horse riding and mountain biking, too. The nearby Lake Tahoe area is brilliant for skiing and snow-boarding in the winter.

Back in Reno, you’ll find a plethora of great bars and eateries in the recently regenerated Midtown District, as well as some artsy entertainment venues. Kick back at one of the best places to stay in Reno before another big day at the casino!
