A Traveller’s Guide to Reno

Best Destinations, Stories and Travel Info - Amanda - June 2, 2016

The state of Nevada is now known as the gambling capital of the world, and Reno is where it all started (legally) in the 1920s. The bright neon lights of Reno’s many casinos have beckoned keen gamers for many decades, with the Eldorado being one of the most popular places for guests to challenge Ol’ Lady Luck.

Yet there is a lot more to see and do in Reno than visit its famous gaming houses. Here’s our guide to The Biggest Little City…

Getting to Reno

A traveller’s guide to Reno

If you want to come to Reno via Las Vegas don’t be fooled by the fact that they’re both known for their casinos and neon lights, as well as the fact they’re both in Nevada. In fact, Reno is about an eight-hour drive away!

If you’re travelling from Las Vegas in a car, take the US-95 and drive north to Fallon, then go west on the US-50 to Fernley, and keep going west on I-80 West until you reach Reno. If like the desert, then you may find the long drive fun. If you’re a passenger and you have no interest in landscapes, then you can always play Red Flush casino games to win some extra spending money and to get yourself ready for the famous felt-green tables.

If you want to travel by plane, then you’re in luck as most major airlines serve Reno-Tahoe International Airport. You will find non-stop flights to and from Chicago, Phoenix, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Portland and Seattle.

For the lowest fares, we recommend avoiding flights into Reno on Friday, and out of the city on Sunday.

To get directly to and from the airport, you have a choice of rental cars, taxis, buses and more. All of these ably serve most gambling, shopping, and dining needs.

Things to do in Reno

Besides casinos, there are many things to keep you busy and happy during your stay in Reno. For a touch of culture and history, there’s the Nevada Museum of Art. The current building opened in 2003 and was designed by Will Bruder Architects; a company renowned for their modern ideas and beautiful buildings.

If you’d like a nice stroll, then Idlewild Park is the place to go. While there, you can take in Reno’s Municipal Park Garden, a driving range, and various walking trails. For the kids, there’s a seasonal adventure playground and a skate park.

Casinos and restaurants

The most popular casinos include the Atlantis, Eldorado, and the Silver Legacy and these have great reviews on TripAdvisor. The tropical-themed Atlantis offers a wide range of dining options. These include a great value (only $13!), a steakhouse, and a pizza restaurant, equipped with a real Italian pizza oven.

Peg’s Glorified Ham n Eggs also comes highly recommended by both locals and visitors, as does Pirate’s Pizza.

It’s likewise a pizza city and Lou Malnati’s is ostensibly the leader of Chicago’s best profound dish pie (its stiffest rivalry is additionally on this rundown). Lou’s, as local people tenderly call it, opened the first of 42 destinations in March of 1971 by Mr. Malnati and his better half in Lincolnwood, an area in the north side of town. The present menu is supplied with other Italian staples, and the flimsy hull pizza is likewise entirely great, yet it’s the Chicago-style profound dish that has held clients returning since its origin. What’s the mystery? Flaky outside, plum tomatoes from California, and obviously, hills of cheddar imported from Chicago’s neighbor toward the north, Wisconsin.

Al’s Italian Beef

At this point, a subject interfacing the nourishment foundations on this rundown has risen: Italian families have shaped the bedrock of Chicago sustenance society the way things are today. Al’s Beef, another supporter of a formula that sprung out of an Italian family’s kitchen, is the Windy City’s head spot for Italian hamburger sandwiches. Like Tesla is to the light and Abner Doubleday is to baseball, Al is to the Italian hamburger sandwich. He and his sister birthed the thought for the now famous sub in their Chicago home amid the Great Depression. Rare fixings constrained them to cut the meat slender on thick Italian bread and the rest is history, as it’s been said. Al’s meat is dry simmered in a mix of flavors before being layered onto Italian bread. It’s then finished with “Sauce” (truly only a light, tasty sauce), either delicately, soaked, or some place in the middle. The menu highlights other standard toll, however the Italian meat sandwich is the genuine draw.
