The "Biggest Little City in the World"! Whether it is or it isn't there is a lot to talk about. At a tenth or twentieth the size of Vegas, it does put on a good show. And it's the real thing too, with a rich western history of just about everything "western" you can imagine. Lots of lights at night downtown.
At Circus
Circus, while the game keepers looks the other way,
AZooNY plays :-). Hit the Hat, win a chicken.
Not all of Reno is best viewed at night... Top: Whitewater
Park on the Truckee; Left: Fountains at the El
Dorado Casino; Right: A big little town sign.
Quite the street marques. The Golden
Phoenix Casino. AZooNY likes the way it reflects of the
train tracks.
An outside artwork at the Nevada
Museum of Art (left). Not sure what's up with
it. It's like a giant rock karin pointing the way.
It's like.. rocks... At right is more outside art,
near the downtown Truckee Whitewater Park. A way cool
means to brighten up the place and tie the buildings into
the park.
The Truckee River runs unobstructed through downtown Reno. This view is just before it enters downtown.
River Walk
Reno has made great strides in crafting a riverwalk along the Truckee River in downtown.

Way Cool a boater warning :-)
The backgroud image is looking out
and over the Union Pacific train tracks downtown, viewed from West
3rd Street (the tracks have since been moved below road grade).
