There's the old adage that says you can't be all things to all people, but Reno sure tries to come close. The city has been marketing itself as "America's Adventure Place," and whether your idea of adventure is on the slopes, on a single track, or at the slots, Reno won't disappoint. While gambling is still a big attraction, don't mistake this area for Las Vegas; if you're looking for a fantasy world of exotic casino-hotels, you're in the wrong end of the state. Here the gaming action is only a part of the experience. Sure, you can have a great time gambling 24 hours a day, but it's the combination of hotel bargains, great restaurants, myriad outdoor activities, and proximity to Lake Tahoe that makes Reno a fun and affordable tourist destination.
