Reno Attractions, Nevada
Located in northern Nevada’s Washoe County, Reno is the second of Nevada’s two largest cities, Las Vegas in the southern portion of the state being the largest. In the early 1930s and prior to the explosive development of Las Vegas, Nevada’s liberal laws allowed Reno to claim itself as the nation’s gambling and divorce capital. Of course, that is now all in the past. Although nearly eclipsed in recognition by the flash and glitter of Las Vegas, Reno remains a vital city with a relatively healthy economy.

The “Comstock Lode” as the find was named, was the first major discovery of silver in the United States, and was soon overrun with miners eager to make their fortunes. Merchants, barkeeps, hotel builders and the like shortly followed, quickly turning this isolated area into the boomtown known as Virginia City. Hoover Dam - Black Canyon, Nevada
