Did you know Las Vegas isn’t the only cool place to visit in Nevada? I’m serious – there are other places you can go, other things you can see! David sent us a list of things to check out if you’re ever in Reno!

• Visit a local casino! – I had to include this. People like to gamble, and they like to check out the casinos. I bet you didn’t realize there are just as many awesome casinos in Reno as there are in Vegas!
• Go Skiing! – Reno has more local ski resorts than any other US city, all within an hour’s drive.
• Check out a special event – There are special events being held almost daily in Reno, and you never know what you’ll find!
• Visit Lake Tahoe! – Only 45 minutes from Reno is the beautiful Lake Tahoe where you can hang out on a variety of beaches.
• Visit Virginia City! – Virginia City is an experience going back 150 years. Let your adventure begin with a step back in time.
• Visit a Museum! Reno has over 30 museums, catering to every type of personality you can think of.
• Take a ride down the river! – Taking a cruise down the river is fun, educational and has gorgeous views.
• Get Married! – If you can’t wait to devote yourself to the love of your life, go ahead and get married whiel you’re in Reno. There are tons of different options to choose from.
• Visit Circus Circus – This casino has an entire floor devoted to family fun. It is the largest arcade in town, and every 15 minutes there is a live circus show preformed.
• Check out the Sky Dome – Located in downtown Reno, the SkyDome has a small museum dedicated to space and science, as well as a dome theater that is always playing something interesting.

As you can clearly see, there is much more to do in Reno than just pass through on your way to Vegas! Stop and stay awhile – you won’t be disappointed.

10 Things to do in Reno, Nevada

Ponzi and I spent the weekend in Las Vegas for our anniversary. These tips to enhance your gambling experience came in mighty handy when we went! Thanks to a community member for sending these in.

• Don’t go to the casino hungry. First play… and then eat. You may get a comped buffet which leaves more money in your pocket. That brings me to my second tip.
• Get the rewards card. It will keep track of all your slot and video play and you’re likely to get something free just for signing up for the free rewards card.
• Take regular breaks. Gambling is fun but it is totally possible to sit down and lose all your money on one machine very quickly. Every so often, get up and walk around the casino, touch base with your friends, and just enjoy looking at all the entertaining stuff they have in casinos. This will help prolong your gaming experience as well as make it a more social one.
• If you’re trying to get free comps and are playing table games, bet bigger when the “pit boss” is around. He keeps tracks of who is betting what, and decides who should get what comps. So, when you see the pit boss, bet a little more than you usually do… even if you don’t feel particularly lucky.
• And my most important tip is: ONLY BRING MONEY YOU’RE PERFECTLY WILLING TO LOSE.. There’s a good chance that you might not win, but you have to keep in mind that when you go to a casino you’re also paying for the entertainment. Don’t bring any credit cards or debit cards with you, and make sure you have a buddy that can gently yet firmly remind you of your budget if you get a little careless.
