3 days in Reno Itinerary

A sea of casinos in the high desert of the Sierra Nevadas, Reno capitalizes on gaming and nightlife.

Change things up with these side-trips from Reno: Vikingsholm (in South Lake Tahoe), Zipline (in Tahoe City) and Nevada State Museum (in Carson City). And it doesn't end there: explore the activities along Emerald Bay State Park, get to know the fascinating history of Truckee River Walk, examine the collection at National Automobile Museum - The Harrah Collection, and try your luck at Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno.

Expect a daytime high around 92°F in August, and nighttime lows around 59°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 31st (Thu) early enough to travel back home.
