Find cheap flights to Reno (RNO), United States

Though Reno has a great variety of activities and attractions, gambling has long been the city’s primary tourism draw. Some of the finest hotels in Reno frequently offer deeply discounted room rates as part of stay-and-play packages that encourage guests to do their gambling in-house. The majority of the city’s large casinos are concentrated in a lively and pedestrian-friendly five-block area where many restaurants, lounges, cabarets and gaming areas stay open around-the-clock.

You don’t have to like casinos to have a fun vacation in Reno, though; many visitors come to the area during the winter to visit the ski lodges in the surrounding mountains, or during the summer to play championship golf. Reno is also just a short drive north of Lake Tahoe, where several lavish resorts are situated minutes from fishing, boating and swimming.

Be sure to check Reno’s event calendar before finalizing any travel dates, because annual events like the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off and the Great Reno Balloon Race are worth planning around. Live entertainment venues like the Reno Events Center and the Alturas Bar & Nightclub also host must-see touring and local acts throughout the year, and you never know who’s going to be in town the same time you are.
