My husband and I along with our best friends stayed at Harrah's in Reno, NV last summer - Rooms were not the greatest. However, if small town and gambling is what you crave, Reno is your town. We traveled a great deal while we were there. We went to Carson City, Virginia City, Lake Tahoe - Traveled to California and saw the Redwood Forest - Went thru Marin County (wine country) San Francisco and Sacramento. Reno is a lovely valley town for people who want to wind down and have a nice, quiet vacation.
