Reno

Reno is the second-largest city in Nevada, second only to Las Vegas. Being four hours closer to the San Francisco Bay Area than Vegas, it receives a significant portion of the gambling traffic from Northern California. The town of Sparks is immediately to the east of Reno, and together makes up the Reno/Sparks metro area, which is often considered one town. For instance, the convention center on South Virgina Street is actually called the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Reno's weather is significantly colder than Las Vegas - in the high desert, Reno gets a reasonable amount of snow each winter (note its proximity to ski resort town Lake Tahoe). In the colder months, warm clothing is a must.

Reno and Sparks have a number of casinos, but only some offer poker rooms:


 * Atlantis Casino Resort
 * Circus Circus Reno
 * Eldorado
 * Grand Sierra Resort
 * John Ascuaga's Nugget
 * Peppermill
 * Silver Legacy
 * Terrible's Rail City

Within 20 miles:


 * Boomtown Reno (in Verdi NV, 7 miles west of Reno on I-80)
