Nestled between the Sierra Nevada range and the lovely Truckee Meadows rests the bustling city of Reno. The cornerstone of Nevada’s gaming and entertainment industry, Reno draws millions of visitors to experience its spectacular casinos, world-class resorts and breathtaking geography. From family trips to romantic getaways, Reno accommodates vacation aesthetics of all shapes and sizes. Nevada legalized gambling in 1931. Since then it has earned a reputation as one of America’s most popular adult playgrounds. Nicknamed the “biggest little city in the world,” Reno doesn’t let its demure size restrict its metropolis-style atmosphere. The city’s world-famous gambling strip is literally packed with lavish casinos guaranteed to stimulate all of the senses.

In addition to gambling, Reno is also known for its impressive collection of beautiful golf courses. Lake Ride Golf Course, for instance, is one of the city’s most popular links. Located just 4.5 miles from downtown Reno, Lake Ridge offers spectacular views of the area lakes and mountains. Created by renowned designer Robert Trent Jones, Lake Ridge is as challenging as it is breathtaking. For a pure taste of the great outdoors, Galena Creek Park is a must-visit natural attraction. Hidden in the breathtaking forests that quilt the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Galena Creek Park offers beautiful scenery, peaceful tranquility and exhilarating activities. Summer visitors enjoy hiking, camping and fishing, while winter guests take full advantage of the park’s cross-country skiing opportunities.
