Great time with "Hot August Nights" car show.
Incredible cars and everyone in good spirits.
Reno casinos make it easy with lots of free parking and entertainment, unlike South Lake Tahoe.
It's now an Annual trip
Weave through the different periods of Reno's boom and bust on this self-guided audio tour of the downtown area. Reno, with its highs as a glitzy desert town filled with cowboys and celebrities, to its lows as a washed-up gambling town and the butt of many jokes on late night TV, has never failed to keep America fascinated. It’s a contradictory place that rides high and dips low. And, as it turns out, that oscillation was built into the city’s character from the beginning. This walking tour starts at Reno’s Arch, and along the way you'll find out about: A beloved 12-floor brick building that was demolished. An extinct species of huge fish that used to swim through downtown Reno. Reno’s history as the divorce capital of America. How trains, highways and mining changed the city. The bridge where the whole town started. This self-guided audio tour can be enjoyed on location or even virtually at home with VoiceMap's Continuous Play function which disables the GPS playback.

This was a very good tour overall. We were only in Reno overnight, and the tour provided a nice overview of the history. We also saw potential dinner stops along the Riverwalk. However, there were other interesting buildings along the way where it would be good to get a description. Also there was construction that blocked some of the stops and path, but we figured our way around it. That should hopefully be temporary.

Such a great experience! The walk was amazingly beautiful and the perfect way to spend the evening! It was the perfect activity for the history enthusiasts. Learned so much about Reno in one walk.
