Reno is situated in the western part of the American state of Nevada, close to the border with California and approximately 22 miles (35 km) from Lake Tahoe, another popular gambling spot. The City of Reno is also often referred to as Nevada's ‘other' gambling town. Any bets that ‘other' gambling town is Las Vegas?
Also known as "The Biggest Little City in the World," Reno enjoys unique fame for being the place of birth of gaming giant Harrah's Entertainment. Though perhaps not quite as extravagant as Vegas - Reno nevertheless guarantees gamblers and other fun-seekers an equally magnificent time.
