Lots of cities in North America are known for having one theme or feature that really helps to identify that city from others. Reno, in Nevada, has had a long standing reputation as a great place to hit the casinos.

In Reno, gambling is enjoyed by tourists from far and wide, day and night. It can be a great place to take a careless vacation. But did you know that there are plenty of other wonderful things to do in Reno? You may look in the mirror and think "I'm a low key guy working as an architect in Toronto. Why would I go to Reno?" Well there are many, many reasons! So put on your sunscreen and get ready for fun!

Going somewhere that has a balance of modern day luxury and beautiful outdoor space can be key. It's nice to leave the comfort of your hotel suite and find yourself exploring the great outdoors. Reno boasts its renowned Truckee River Walk. A popular spot to start out is Wingfield Park. From there, you can walk for miles up or down the river, in either direction. It's a scenic view that mostly anyone would enjoy. If you live in a city and find yourself enjoying pastimes like caring for a pet, or fish tank, and are always updating the aquarium decorations, perhaps you're ready for a real outlet to express your love of nature!

Taking a vacation alone, with a partner, or with your family has never been so easy. Let them forget about the stresses of preparing for their year-end youth hockey tournament or dance recital. Your kids and teens will never get bored, enjoying places like Fun Quest and the Sierra Safari Zoo.

In Reno, your family can relax, play, and learn all at once. Don't forget, a kid's idea of a fun vacation is not going to the day spa. Vancouver may be a family tradition, but it's time to shake things up a little!
