Reno is located in the northwest portion of the state of Nevada, 14 miles from the California border. It is known as “The Biggest Little City in the World”.
Reno is approximately a 7-hour car drive from Las Vegas (438 miles). A flight takes 75 minutes from Las Vegas. Amtrak provides daily passenger service to Reno as far east as Chicago and as far west as Oakland.
In the summer, it takes 30 minutes to drive from Reno to the capital of Nevada, Carson City (32 miles) and 45 minutes to Lake Tahoe (37 miles). A drive to historic Virginia City will take 36 minutes (26 miles).
The city is named after Civil War Union Major General Jesse L. Reno. It is the fourth largest city in Nevada, after Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas.
Reno has 300 days of sunshine per year. Summer thunderstorms can occur between April and October. The monthly daily average temperature ranges from 36.2 °F in December to 77.2 °F in July.
Until the 1960s, Reno was the gambling capital of the United States, but Las Vegas’ rapid growth and the growth of Native American casinos in California have reduced its gambling economy.
Reno and neighboring Sparks have over a dozen full scale casino resorts. The largest include: Atlantis, Boomtown, Circus Circus, Club Cal Neva, Eldorado, Grand Sierra Resort, J Resort, Legends Bay Casino, Nugget Casino Resort, Peppermill, and Silver Legacy. There are also many smaller hotels and casinos.
