Bye Can Casino Good Tell Then

During a vacation in Reno it is easy to get tired of the smoky air and noisy slot machines in the casinos. Reno has some refreshing pastimes to engage in when a visitor needs a break from the casino action. The Nevada Museum of Art, Harrah’s Automobile Museum, the California Avenue shopping district, the River Walk, and the white water park are all less than a mile from the downtown casinos. Meadowood Mall and Summit Sierra Mall both aspire to meet the needs of the avid shopper.

Reno’s River Walk and White Water Park

Reno has the luxury of having a river flow right through downtown. The Truckee River passes under the Virginia Street Bridge just 4 blocks south of downtown casinos. The River Walk area on the river extends from Arlington Avenue on the west to Center Street on the east. Several restaurants and pubs are located along the river in this area. Spread Peace Café, located at 50 North Sierra Street facing the Truckee River, offers up eclectic lunch and dinner creations.Wild River Grille also faces the river at 17 South Virginia Street. Wild River Grille’s menu features classic creations like steak and salmon. Both locations give diners the choice of indoor or outdoor seating. The white water park is full of challenges for aspiring and experienced kayakers. Shops around Reno rent river kayaks for an hour or a day.

Nevada Museum of Art
