TRUCKEE RIVER WHITEWATER PARK
You don’t have to go far to find an outdoor adventure in Reno. The Truckee River Whitewater Park is at the center of downtown. It features 11 pools and a racing course for kayaking. So walk on down and rent a kayak, canoe, raft or inner tube to navigate the drops, current and boulders lining the river. Spectators are welcome, especially during the Reno River Festival each spring.

ATLANTIS STEAKHOUSE
Dine in style at the Atlantis Steakhouse after a game of poker or a trip to the resort’s spa. Elegance and comfort mesh, as do Chicago and San Francisco influences, in this AAA Four Diamond establishment. Even though you can order lobster or Alaskan king crab, we highly recommend one of the steaks – dry-aged USDA prime cuts from Allen Brothers of Chicago.
The signature dish is the Cowboy Bone-In Rib-Eye, but we don’t see how you could go wrong ordering a filet mignon either. If you still have room after your Sea Salt Crusted Baked Potato and Truffled Cauliflower Gratin, end the night with a Flourless Chocolate Hazelnut Cake. If you’re too stuffed to think about it, a Moulin Rouge cocktail will do.

PEG'S GLORIFIED HAM N EGGS
If you had a wild Reno evening last night and need a good bunch, head to Peg’s Glorified Ham n Eggs. It’s great for hungry families too! Expect healthy portions and bold tastes. Peg’s Glorified Huevos Rancheros is Peg’s favorite, if you’re wondering. If that’s not what you’re craving, then a Veggie Ben, Tamale & Eggs, Country Fried Steak & Eggs, Hawaiian Breakfast, Mushroom Jack Burger or Fresh Salmon Tacos should do the trick.

GREAT RENO BALLOON RACE
For more than 30 years the airspace of Reno has been popping with color in the fall. No, it’s not autumn leaves; it’s dozens of hot air balloons. They gather for the Great Reno Balloon Race, slowly rising and soaring into the wind. It’s known as the world’s largest free hot air ballooning event. That means you still have some cash to buy food and souvenirs!
Traditionally, the event occurs in Rancho San Rafael Regional Park – a wide open space with view of mountains and building tops in the distance. Show up early to Glow Show or Dawn Patrol to see the balloons light up and flicker against the dark morning sky. Better yet, bring the family to SUPER-GLOW, a show of dancing balloons choreographed to music. If you’re more of a daytime person, that’s fine too. The races show off the bright colors, and sometimes curious shapes, of these massive floating spectacles.

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY
Reno’s Biggest Little Shop of Random is full of weird toys. If you need prank toys or interesting stocking stuffers, Happy Happy Joy Joy is the place. They have candles and lamps shaped like gnomes, ginormous gummy bears and rubber ducks that you can decorate. You might not want to buy the vampire blood energy drinks or shark bite oven mitts, but they sure are fun to look at! There’s no way not to laugh at a unicorn sprinkles shaker – it’s just too random to take seriously! So even if you’re not in the market for strange toys, you should still stop by.

PYRAMID LAKE
Do yourself a favor when in Reno, and leave the casino for a bit. There’s a strange and beautiful outdoors waiting – desserts, lakes and rocky hills. A half an hour of dessert outside of Reno is Pyramid Lake. It’s deep blue expanse pops against the barren, brown landscape. The main site is what gives the lake its name. A rocky pyramid formation juts upward in a stately, immoveable display. A few similar, smaller rocks dot the lake near it. You can ponder this mysterious natural art or take to fishing or hunting.

This is my first experience with your travel agency. The hotel where I stayed in New Orleans Hotel 504 was excellent. I was told it was by the booking agent and she was exactly right. The staff and the concierge was superb. I will recommend family and friends to your agency and to stay at that hotel if they go to New Orleans if possible. I am looking forward to booking another trip with you.
