Reno Travel Information
The city of Reno (pop 200,000), known as the "Biggest Little City in
the World," serves as the hub of tourism for the northwestern corner
of Nevada. Long ago where Reno now sits, bridges were built to span
the Truckee River to ferry gold and silver back east, and Reno quickly
sprung up as a waystation. When the railroad came through, Reno and
nearby Sparks became major centers of industry, a role which they
continues to play for the state to this day. As time has gone by, the
two cities have grown together to make up one large metropolitan
area. It wouldn't be Nevada without gambling, and Reno has ten major
casinos to choose from. On the flipside, for those looking to spend
their time outdoors, the city is within an hour of several major
recreation destinations such as Lake Tahoe, Pyramid Lake, and the
eastern Sierra Nevada range. For a list of Biplane Companies

can be accessed from a variety of ways, but perhaps the most popular
is via car on I-80. For more detailed information on the Reno area,
