Las Vegas is not the only stop along the way for gamblers anymore. In fact, if you are looking for a less-crowded alternative to gambling, then Reno might be just the place for you. For Californians it's a great stop since it is so near the border and right on I-80.
If you're looking for the casinos then you will find them in the downtown area-- miles of slot machines abound, in fact. The setting is also beautiful since Reno is located at the foot of the mountains where snow often falls during the winter. The area does have a colder climate than Las Vegas, though.
Reno Style Weddings
While the wedding craze hasn't caught on in Reno yet, there are still wedding chapels reminiscent of Las Vegas. The most popular wedding chapel in Reno is called the Starlight Chapel. You can get married for under $50 in a pink parlor with tacky plastic flowers.
Quickie divorces can also be performed alongside a wedding. Weddings and gambling are said to be the two most popular things to do in Reno, Nevada. For a good night's stay or even for a week, Reno has some well-appointed hotels for the budget traveler or the upscale tourist. The lack of traffic for a weekend gambling excursion is just one of the many reasons to choose Reno over Las Vegas for a stress-free weekend getaway. You can choose to stay in a hotel that has a casino, or to place some distance between gambling venues and your lodging.
