As a local to the Reno area I gotta say, I'm sorry you even went downtown. It's literally the worst part of the city. Locals tend to avoid it unless they're going to the casinos, or work there. Come back after covid, and explore the areas away from downtown and you'll likely have a much better experience. Also, the Peppermill is definitely the nicest of the casinos.

It was so much more fun than boring Reno!!

Second, we have the most amazing events and there is something exciting happening every weekend for months, especially during the summer. Summer is hands down my favorite time here, and we never had things like this to do in California. Our kids have so much more to do and be involved in here.

He then threw the change at her and met me as he turned and he didn’t not like the result.

Who goes to Reno for the casinos? Those are for all the elderly people that live here, and to have something to look at while on psychedelics (highly recommended in Reno). The real fun lies around Reno with all the outdoorsy stuff, and the people here are their own kind of special. Everyone from the homeless to the rich have almost the same attitude about everything.

Thank you Pompsie, for this video! Some people, like myself, will never see this in person! Very nice footage!!!

You didn’t scratch the surface of what Reno has to offer. Midtown is fabulous! You could spend 2 days just walking up and down, eating, drinking, shopping at eclectic little shops...tattoos, palm readers, salons, ethnic delis, bakeries, coffee shops...massage and spas...And that’s just Midtown. Downtown and the Riverwalk is a different experience all together. If you ever make it back to Reno, I would suggest staying out of the casinos and exploring a bit more of the local culture. It’s gritty, but that’s what we love about Reno!

Re: at the beginning of the vid where you have difficulty/confusing getting out of casino to get to Reno Arch sign....that’s the strategy of any casino. They don’t want to make it easy for you to leave the casino.

Welcome to my city Reno.

You are 35 years too late. Reno had many many great casinos and was booming 24/7/365 back in the "happy time" lm old and an old school gambler I still very much enjoy cal neva and "the row" cal neva has no hotel anymore but great table games. I like El dorado and silver legacy craps pits good game excellent staff. El dorado is my go to hotel, but I've stay at most of them over the years. If you a serious fan of adult gaming, Reno is still the biggest little city in the world. Thank you for sharing this video pompsie. :)

We stayed at the Peppermill a few years back for our anniversary, and we loved it! It's not the 1980's Peppermill any more (for those of us old enough to remember). Now it's tastefully upscale, even if a little Italian cliche as Pompsie describes. But, it was super-clean and classy. If you find yourself in Reno, the Pep is the place to be.

so sad most american cities downtown is a disaster and Reno is a prime example, they have pumped money in it, beautiful minor league ballpark, lots of dog walking parks, art, etc etc but the homeless are in complete control of downtown and again like most american cities the suburbs are great, so here is the plan, dont go to downtown Reno, it's one big homeless shelter, Silver Legacy has great slot machines but other than that never go to downtown Reno, suburbs have some great casinos, Boomtown, Bonanza, Grand Sierra, stay at Bonanza or Grand Sierra, downtown truly disgusting

Idk why but Reno just looks depressing, definitely would need to go explore outside the city

The casino's and downtown are after thoughts. Plus, unless you like to gamble, why bother going downtown and staying at casinos. Also, we are in the middle of a pandemic so it's not a very good representation of the city as a whole. I live in Reno. It's not the greatest place, but there is more to it than the few blocks he explored. Downtown is probably one of the least desirable places to visit.

The downtown area suffers from urban decay and is kinda scummy I stay away from it as I live in South Reno it's a whole different world over here. Everything is dead cause we are in a pandemic and it gets this January look about it where it's very dreary and dark.

Oh, I forgot, I went to Lake Tahoe when I was in Reno. The lake is beautiful. However, I think Reno is really more about the outdoors activities like hanging at the lake, hiking, and then going to the mountains for the snow and skiing. That is better than the Casinos.

Thanks for making our city look good ☺ I definitely suggest coming back when the pandemic is not happening. Its way more lively. Also, if you decide to come back- Tahoe is a must! Its only 40-60 minutes away and its incredible during every season. University Park has an awesome view of down town. Its a little hard to find at first, but definitely worth it lol
