    I moved to Reno more than 25 years ago and you hit many of the highlights! With the exception of this pandemic year, there is always something going on in Reno ! From the pub crawls to the many events (Artown, Rodeo, Rib Cookoff, Hot August Nights, Street Vibrations, Balloon and Air Races, cultural festivals) and outdoor activities (hiking, skiing, climbing, snowshoeing, kayaking, skydiving) there is never a dull moment! I think I need to do the mural walk as there are several in the video that I have yet to see! Thank you for sharing!

The art is beautiful and the restaurants are the best! I live in Puerto Rico now but I'm going to visit Reno soon. I'm definitely going to try some pastry at that bakery.

Returned to my hotel room at the Sands hotel and casino one night. It was December 8/1980 , turned on the t.v.and they reported that John Lennon had just been shot and had died!

Virginia in mid-town, Scheels (I rarely pitch businesses, but this place is fun), and, if you are a science nerd, try to get a tour of the Desert Research Institute, plus, finally, come on one of the great event weekends, such as Hot August Nights (old cars) or the Nevada Air Races !

    Nice list. Definitely some new things for me to check out. But, you left off the Terry Lee Wells Nevada DISCOVERY Museum at 490 S Center St. If you have kids, it's even better, but there's plenty for adults too enjoy, too. I've been to many different science, technology, and children's museums, and this one is really great at combining those three aspects into one entertaining and educational museum. No food or drinks inside, but there are convenient eats within easy walking distance.

    The Wilber D May museum is a popular school trip destination. It also has a reputation for being haunted in some way, usually involving the shrunken heads opening and closing their eyes.
    Virginia city has a ton of old fashioned candy stores. If your looking for another reason to visit.
    Summer in Reno adds a ton to this list. July is Artown, a one month festival centered on the river walk featuring concerts, art displays, Shakespeare and other plays. August has Hot August Nights, a week long celebration of the 50s, mostly centered around cars. There's also a chili cookoff, a massive rib cookoff, the national championship rodeo, balloon races(you want to be out there at dawn for this one) the Air races.
    A restaurant option that might be oddly unique to Reno is the Nugget Oyster Bar. They have the expected sea food options, and something called Pan roasts, a made to order chowder type dish that is insanely good.

    I'm born and raised Reno, there are also multiple trails all over town as well as some other sights to see, In spring and summer its good to go walk through both Bartley Ranch and Rancho san Rafael (where the Wilbur Museum is at) as well as seeing the rodeo at the livestock events center, though not gonna lie Reno is getting expensive to live in due to the tech boom in the area and the cost of housing has risen to a point where its a miracle most people are able to keep up with the rising rent costs

    I have been lucky enough to have visited Reno 5 times through work. I live in UK. I really enjoy my time there. Virginia city is a must visit. Reno arch and Silver Legacy, Atlantis and GSR casinos. Pegs Eggs for food downtown and it has a lovely mural outside. Barwarchi indian cuisine, Pho restaurant at Sierra center parkway, Bistro 7, La Posada Real at Longley lane for Mexican food, if you fancy a drive then try Jason's Beachside Grille at North lake Tahoe at King's Beach.

    Those giant rings in front of the museum represent wedding rings and hark back to the days Reno was known as the "divorce capital of the world" from 1909 to 1970. It was short to establish residency (thus all the roadside weeklies) and grounds for divorce were very lenient, which brought couples from all over the world to split the knot. Afterward many liberated lovers walked out of the courthouse and tossed their rings in the Truckee. People still do it, and in the summer you can see metal detectors wading around searching for preciousss :D
    And "The Basement" is in the old post office; too bad the top has closed because it is really cool with all the old PO boxes and art-deco design :)

    Visit The Halfway Club. An incredible Italian restaurant that, just recently, Grandma Inez, who had cooked incredible meals, passed away.
    The half and half is amazing; half ravioli, and half spaghetti. Add the meatballs. These aren't your typical meatballs, these are the size of your fist!
    Everything is cooked homemade, and, ask them how you can write your name on their wall! Hint...make sure to have a designated driver!
