I am happy to say it is back in my posession.
I am now in Reno, NV
"The Biggest Little City In The World"
"The Biggest Little City In The World"I've gotta say, I am really enjoying Reno so far. This "little city" has so much to offer, and I'm not just talking about Casinos here. In fact I don't believe casinos are entirely popular here.
But while I am on the topic of Casinos I have come to learn that most casinos out here have amazingly cheap food! My favorite offer so far is in Las Vegas at a casino called The Cannery and they offer a $6 prime rib dinner, complete with your choice of soup or salad, choice of potato, 8 oz (though often bigger!) and fresh vegetables.
Out here in Reno though, there are a lot of great local bars and restaurants to visit, the couple of pubs and bars I have visited are Great Basin Brewing Co, which has an extremely great local micro brew that has over 40 selections on tap and then some. I've tried a couple of their brews, but personally I like the Icthyosaurus, which is a nice pale/white ale, but I digress. They have a great atmosphere for both weeknight and weekends. Offering open mics and bands / artists. I really did enjoy this pub.
The other place I went to (because they offer a $1 pitcher) is The Waterfall Bar, who unfortunately does not have a websight. They were okay, pretty small for the amount of patrons but not completely crowded. They also have pool, darts and *ehem* beer pong. This wasn't my favorite place but I would most likely visit it again.
Reno is also great because it has a big thing Las Vegas lacks, and thats a recycling program. I like to consider myself somewhat environmentally conscious, and when there is no way for me to recycle my bottles and other plastics/papers etc. I feel terrible.
There are also lots of parks and out door activities to participate in. Just around the corner there is a small city park with a pond. Across the way is a concrete skate park, which is pretty great because so many of them are made of wood and simply placed and over the course of the winter they can tend to warp and can be a lot of money to fix.
And then of course there is Lake Tahoe, which is about a 45 minute drive. And closer to that is the Sierra Nevada foothills. So plenty of climbing and hiking activities.
Needless to say, there is plenty of things to do here in Reno. I will update more soon.
