The Pioneer Center is the one big entertainment venue in Reno where there's no gambling. Instead you'll find symphony orchestra concerts, touring Broadway shows, and occasionally, David Copperfield.

The 'Biggest Little City in the World' is also known as 'Little Las Vegas'. Though at pains to promote itself as a hot and happening gambling mecca, the real appeal of Reno is its small-town charm. You can bust the bank here, or you can spend your time fishing in the river that flows right through downtown.

The first hotel and saloon were established in Reno in the 1850s, and in 1868 the town scored a train depot and took the name of Jesse Reno, a Union general. The town grew fat on rail expansion and the mining boom, but when the gold got thin on the ground, Reno wagered its future on sin.
