The northern Nevada city is the Las Vegas of the north. It's like Las Vegas but with less hoopla. Virginia Street in downtown is lined with casino after casino, whose lights shine bright when the sun goes down. The Reno sign on Virginia St lights up with all its glory, inviting visitors to roll the dice.
For people who aren't interested in spending a wad of money at the craps tables, there are other things to see. Take a stroll along the Truckee River promenade, which is located a few hundred feet from the main strip.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
