For a town of only 133,000, this is truly the "biggest little city
in the world".
Reno offers non stop gambling 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Reno is
located at the cross roads of US 395 and US 80. Reno is nice because although you think
you are in a large town when you are in the downtown area, you are really only minutes to
the desert and outskirts of town. When you are downtown 10 minutes will take you from the
frantic activity of the gambling casinos to the more sedate activity in the desert.
Truckee Riverfront Walk
A somewhat quiet place located downtown is the Truckee River Walk. There are several neat
fountains along this walk.
Reno is a high desert town. Snow falls in the winter and temperatures are often below
freezing. Mid summer temperatures often can be in the high 80's F or 90's F. Overall Reno
has a dry climate.
