It’s been awhile since I posted one of these travel tips videos. The response was so overwhelming that I couldn’t possibly record a video on all of the emails you sent! However, keep your eyes on my blog. I’ll be posting those there (one per day!) so that we can share your hometown with the World! This particular set of must-see places was sent in by David Beck.

• Visit a Casino. – Everyone loves to try their luck at gambling, and Reno is a great place to do that. There are tons of casinos here, offering everything from slots to Blackjack.
• Go Skiing. – There are more ski resorts within an hour’s drive than there are near any other US city.
• Check out a Special Event or Festival. – Reno has an event going on almost every month. From Hot August Nights to Street Vibrations to Balloon Races, there is always something to check out.
• Visit Lake Tahoe. – Only 45 minutes from Reno is the beautiful Lake Tahoe where you can hang out on a variety of beaches and participate in any number of water activities.
• Visit Virginia City. – Just an hour from Reno is the mining town of Virginia City where you can visit old mines, ride the train or just shop the small stores. Visiting Virginia City is like taking a step back in time.
• Visit a Museum. – There are more than 30 museums in Reno. You’ll find the Museum of Art, the Reno Children’s Discovery Museum, and even the National Automobile Museum here.
• Take a Ride Down the River. – The Truckee River is absolutely gorgeous. You can grab a boat tour, or even take off on a rafting adventure!
• Get Married! – If you just can’t wait to devote the rest of your life to someone, come down to Reno and get hitched without any waiting period. Marriage licensee are offered from 8 AM to midnight at the county courthouse.
• Check out Circus Circus! – This isn’t just a hotel and casino. You’ll find an entire floor dedicated to arcade games! Circus Circus literally offers something for everyone – fun for all ages.
• Visit the SkyDome. – Located in downtown Reno, the SkyDome has a small museum dedicated to space and science, as well as a domed theater that is always playing something interesting.

Thanks to David for sending these travel tips in. I’ve never been to Reno yet, but perhaps I will be able to check some of these places out one day.

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.
