The famous arch in downtown Reno Nevada proclaims this as "The Biggest Little City in the World!"   And with good reason!  The commercial hub of northern Nevada, Reno has all the glitter, excitement and neon of Las Vegas, but on a more down-to-earth scale.  In many ways Reno has even more to offer.  Indeed, few cities can compete with this vacation wonderland!

 For those seeking scenic beauty, Reno is fortunate to be located at the eastern edge of the magnificent Sierra Nevada range, just 30 miles from the crystal blue waters of Lake Tahoe.  Winters in Reno are cold but the city gets only moderate snowfall.  Summers are warm, but not unpleasant since there is little humidity.  The city boasts 18 ski resorts and over 40 golf courses within a 90 minute drive.  Whether you come to Reno to golf or ski, you're bound to leave satisfied with so many to choose from.  And there are plenty top rated Reno hotels in every price range, making vacations here both fun and affordable.

To make planning your Reno vacation easier, we've included sections about Reno restaurants, Reno campgrounds & RV parks, fun Reno activities, a Reno map, the 5-day Reno weather forecast, and a real estate guide for those considering relocation or retirement here.   

If there are four or more in your group, you will find renting an RV to be a very cost effective way to travel compared to renting a car and staying in hotels.  It also allows you to save money on food, since you can cook in the RV.  Plus, you'll enjoy the benefits of total freedom.  If you're flying into Reno, you'll get the best prices on southwest airfare when you book your ticket here!
