What Makes Reno A Unique Place To Visit?

You may be familiar with Reno as the city where bumbling police officers were portrayed on Reno 911. You may be acquainted with Reno as the city where Johnny Cash sang about shooting a man, it seems that just to watch him die. You may identify Reno as the city you drove by on your way to scenic Lake Tahoe or much more likely, where your car broke down after Burning Man and you spent a night at a luxury motel in Reno.

Occasionally, a stranger will tell me that have been to Reno and explain they spent a few nights in a Casino there, possibly they’ve got misty memories of a river downtown. Visitors who stay in the downtown casinos unavoidably get trapped inside. These windowless, clockless prisons are designed for you to forget about the outside world and spend your money and time in every slot, restaurant, bar, and shop the casino has to offer.

A part of me dies identifying such visitors will never hear of the local legends of Wilbur D. May, and Indiana ones - like traveler and successor to the Double Diamond Ranch dynasty who requested an arboretum be built upon his death. They will never know that best breakfast secret of Reno is a breakfast burrito from the Great Basic Co-Op, that there is a bird sanctuary just twenty minutes from downtown, or that there used to be a gangling guy with a patch taped over one eye who would skateboard around town in elbow-pads that we would all lovingly call Skateboard Joe.

You can always get a luxury room for rent in Reno to explore the city offerings like its outdoor access, historical bars, and arts and culture having nothing to do with its casinos.

Dining & Nightlife

In Reno, you can explore the entire advantages of outdoor fun while taking pleasure in dynamic city life, including historical bars and breathtaking restaurants. You may not know that this city is the self-proclaimed All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Capital of the World. You can thank the casino industry, who pays to fly in fresh fish from the California Coast, and in the process, provides local sushi restaurants with steep discounts when they order as well. Stop at Sushi Pier 2 or Hiroba Sushi and feast on raw goodness like a local.

Arts & Culture

Reno is also the scene of a burgeoning art scene, spurred by the Nevada Museum of Art, which is home to two thousand permanent works of art and which is a cultivator of the Center of art and Environment. The Holland Project, which is a concert venue and gallery space for budding artists. And, Art Town, a month-long series of more than five hundred free arts and culture events like concerts, artist workshops, and moves-in-the-park.

Make a Visit

I could go on about the way Reno is attracting some of the biggest names in the technology industry such as Switch and Tesla. So, what are you waiting for? Book a room in a boutique Reno NV hotel, Kramer’s Midtown, and make the most of your visit.
