Monday, July 9th, 2007

Reno is known for its nightlife. Casinos, shows, night clubs, music — the city has it all. Go dancing at hot spots like Alturas Bar & Nightclub, which is open 24 hours and offers pool tables, darts and live R & B music; Blue Max, with live music and karaoke; BuBinga Lounge, which earned the title “Best Place to Go Dancing” in Nevada Magazine; Club Underground; Club Voo Doo; and Sapphire Lounge, which features diva Clairdee, who sings blues, ballads and jazz improvisations.

For a more low-key, laid-back nighttime experience, there are also many options. Knuckleheads Sports Bar offers a place with live music and sports TVs, along with darts, juke box, pool tables, dancing and karaoke. Reno Jazz Club is a great place to hang out. Visitors can relax and listen to live jazz bands. Rum Bullions Island Bar is Reno’s only rum bar. Exotic rum drinks like the flaming Kava Kava and entertainment every night of the week, including dueling pianos and special theme nights.

Last but not least, the casinos offer a wide variety of nighttime entertainment. Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, Siena Hotel Spa Casino, Peppermill Casino, Reno Hilton Casino, Boomtown Hotel-Casino, Harrah’s Reno Hotel & Casino, Circus Circus Hotel Casino, Silver Legacy Resort Casino and Eldorado Hotel/Casino are all located in Reno, and all offer exciting gaming, shows and activities daily.

Monday, July 9th, 2007

I used to take a trip in Reno city. There are so many festivals and attractions. I would like to share you some of my experiences in Reno.

Reno Festivals

Festival of Trees :A virtual smorgasbord of twinkling lights, crafts, live entertainment, and children’s activities. Christmas is magical, even in the balmy West.

Great Reno Balloon Race :Over 125 of the nation’s top balloonists take to the skies over Reno for this annual September event. Events begin early in the day with the Dawn Patrol, a glorious sight of hundreds of balloons ascending in the pre-dawn darkness.

National Championship Air Races :This is the world’s longest running annual air race. Daily competitions include one or more races from Biplane, Formula One, Sport, and AT-6 racings classes. Aerobatic stunts, sky-writing, and military jet displays are also featured at this exciting event. Held at Stead Field located approximately 10 miles north of downtown Reno.

And some Reno Attractions

Wild Island : Located just west of Reno, this water park has a tropical feel and features a tide pool and a plethora of water slides. There is also a 36-hole miniature golf course, bumper cars, a video arcade, and food vendors.

Wild West Museum : This museum takes the visitor on a walk down memory lane to times when cowboys, miners, and outlaws populated the streets. The Wild West Museum features a variety of Old West memorabilia including antique guns, Native American and Cavalry displays.

Wingfield Park : This island park located downtown is actually five parks in one; comprised of East Island, Brick Park, Bennett Park, West Island and Bicentennial Park. It’s located along the Truckee River and offers paths, basketball courts and an amphitheatre. It’s a bit of Eden in the heart of the hustle and bustle of this thriving city.
