Reno-Tahoe is a dynamic, four-season resort destination in a spectacular natural setting, where America’s largest alpine lake meets The Biggest Little City in the World, a beautiful contrast of high adrenaline activities, burgeoning art scene and remote solitude.
Beginning with downtown’s Riverwalk District, where the Truckee River winds its way from Lake Tahoe, there is a waterway for every water activity in Reno-Tahoe including fishing, boating, stand-up paddle boarding and jet skiing. Just 30 minutes southwest lies North Lake Tahoe – the largest alpine lake in the U.S., where summer and winter collide. Surrounded by majestic mountains and acres of breathtaking Sierra Nevada wilderness, North Lake Tahoe is a spectacular outdoor destination suited for visitors of all ages.
The Reno-Tahoe region has more than 15,500 high-quality hotel rooms in settings and styles that are as unique and varied as the visitors who stay here. Major resort casino hotels feature multiple restaurants, entertainment and spas, while other downtown hotels have a decidedly indie vibe. Investment of more than $1 billion over the last 10 years has kept lodging inventory in Reno-Tahoe vibrant and affordable.
The key word is affordable. Rooms for PIE 2022, at the world class Grand Sierra Resort start at $100 a night. Save money and invest it in gaming and restaurants. Just think, if you bring five staff members to PIE 2022, you will save over three grand in hotel costs alone.
The city has put the finishing touches on over $100 million in infrastructure improvements to the area which includes landscaping, road and sidewalk enhancements, and new artwork. Reno’s eclectic hub for public art, unique retail experiences, and dining hot spots is now even more vibrant and walkable than ever before. But it doesn’t stop there. Construction is extending south down Virginia Street to create two new developments, Reno Experience District and Reno Public Market.
Art and culture in Reno-Tahoe are a collision of nationally recognized institutions such as The Nevada Museum of Art – the only accredited art museum in the state of Nevada – featuring modern and contemporary works by artists, including Roy Lichtenstein, Georgia O’Keeffe and William Wegman, and vibrant street art by muralists such as Joe C. Rock, whose celebrated work is featured in Reno-Tahoe’s marketing materials. Guided art tours, some incorporating former playa installations from the famed desert festival known as Burning Man, are offered year-round.

Pair that with over 300 annual days of sunshine in the region to round out a perfect trip.
An ethereal desert landscape collides with the Sierra Nevada Mountain range where skateboarders, rock wall climbers and kayakers make downtown come alive, and where urbanites escape the city for the largest concentration of ski resorts in North America. Whether your action is biking, hiking, camping or climbing, Reno-Tahoe makes it easy to get out there.
