Nevada at a Glance

Las Vegas, Nevada:
Sheldon Adelson's breathtaking mega-resort, The Venetian, combines the latest technology, truly mammoth scale and the venerable art and culture of the European jewel.

The Venetian's take on Venice is a must see. Complete with a 120,000-square-foot casino, 17 restaurants, the 63,000-foot Canyon Ranch SpaClub and more than 50 shops, the Venetian oozes luxury on all levels.

Taxis are the most convenient way to get around in Vegas. You'll be able to easily find one, as they are always in front of hotels. The Strip bus (Citizens Area Transit, or CAT) costs $1.50 and links the Strip and the downtown with stops near major hotels.

Las Vegas Attractions

Reno, Nevada:
The famous arch, first erected in 1926 over downtown Virginia Street, proclaims Reno as the 'Biggest Little City in the World'. Reno is small-town friendliness mixed with big city excitement.

Four of Reno's luxurious hotel resorts are located on North Virginia Street in the heart of the downtown action. Skywalks connect the Eldorado Hotel Casino, Silver Legacy Resort Casino, and Circus Circus Hotel & Casino-Reno creating a complex that encompasses six city blocks.

Reno is a year-round entertainment and gambling resort that advertises itself as The Biggest Little Town on Earth. Reno is also popular with people getting married, and a well-known residence for folks seeking rapid divorces. However, if you are ski slope bound, plan your trip from late November through March.

Nevada Travel Notes

Las Vegas, Nevada

A Must-See for Vegas Newcomers: by Jim Rufus.

Like any major city, you won't be able to tackle everything there is to do in one visit, but here are a few suggestions to make you feel like you've tried to see Las Vegas.

A Taste of Las Vegas: by Linda Anderson.

Visitors to Las Vegas enjoy grand hotels and casinos, great shopping and fabulous restaurants. Dining in Las Vegas has become one of city's main attractions and the all-you-can-eat buffets are a popular choice for both visitors and locals.

Choosing Slot Machines: by Alan Krigman.

Many folks who try their luck at casinos during vacations, conventions, or even junkets head directly for the slot machines.

They're much less intimidating than table games for beginners, offer lots of playing time and plenty of excitement for relatively modest bankrolls, are available in many configurations, and promise jackpots that can change a person's lifestyle.

Vegas Restaurants: All the Rage: by Leon Schwarzbaum.

They're still standing in line for the $3.99 breakfast buffets and the $6.99 sirloin steak dinners in Las Vegas, but with the advent of the newest five-star hotel casinos, haute cuisine (at haute prices) has become an attraction.

In a town where fine dining once consisted of a huge shrimp cocktail, a 24-ounce steak, a salad and pie a la mode, world famous chefs create meals for sophisticated diners drawn by the luxury of the new and refurbished resorts. Las Vegas dining has entered a whole new world.

Reno, Nevada

A Taste of Reno: by Linda Anderson.

The buffets in Reno are becoming more upscale and are truly feasts fit for a king.

Some Reno hotels offer superb seafood buffets and Champagne brunches on weekends. Although the quality of the buffets continues to improve, the buffets are still reasonably priced.
