Reno At a Glance
Best Time to Go
Reno is a year-round entertainment and gambling resort that advertises itself as
"the biggest little town on earth." Nearly every month brings a special
event or festival. Reno is also popular with people getting married, and a
well-known residence for folks seeking rapid divorces. However, if you are
ski slope bound, plan your trip from late November through March.
Average Weather
December and January are the coldest months with average lows in the high
teens or low 20s. July is usually the hottest month with average
highs hitting the 90s. Reno is blessed with low humidity, while
temperature can vary greatly throughout the course of the day, the low
humidity assures comfortable conditions for most folks.
Transportation
Over 10 major airlines serve the Reno/Tahoe International Airport. Numerous
car rental companies are located at the airport as well as off site. For
public bus information, call Citifare/Citilift at (775) 348-7433. Reno
Sparks Cab Company can be reached at (775) 333-3333; Whittlesea Checker taxi
is at (775) 322-2222 and Yellow Cab answers (775) 355- 5555.
In-Season Costs
Reno is a place where you can spend as much or as little as you like. With a
year-round tourist trade and multiple events scheduled, it's best to book in
advance. With a careful search on Lodging.com, you'll find in-season rates
under $100 occasionally. The range of area restaurants can
accommodate any budget. If you're there to gamble, you can cut meal costs by
choosing informal eateries.
Day Trips
Reno is well-sited for excitement and for getting away from it all. Tahoe
and ski slopes are next-door neighbors to Reno. During the warmer weather,
over 30 great golf courses are within a 90-minute drive of Reno.
Squaw Valley is less than an hour drive time from Reno. River rafters are an
hour from the white water thrills of rafting the Truckee River; among the outdoor outfitters that rent equipment you'll reach Truckee River Raft Rentals
at (530) 581-0123. If time travel is more your speed, visit nearby Virginia
City and check out the Wild West.
