This is a big hotel-casino/resort in Sparks' Victorian Square only minutes from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. It features a great coffee shop, Rosie's Café, as well as The Steakhouse Grill, John's Oyster Bar, and Starbucks Coffee. Also regular live, weekly music performances from local and national touring acts.
This is Reno's largest hotel/casino and the closest to the airport. The Hotel features nightclub with a pool and many decently appointed standard guest rooms. You will find a whole host of dining options including a Charlie Palmer Steak, Chickie and Pete's sports bar, and a buffet (Thursday through Sunday only). In addition the resort features the outdoor Grand Adventure Land (go karts, mini golf and a giant swing), a discount movie theater, an arcade, a bowling alley and a driving range. Well served by the #14 bus, though driving or taking a cab is recommended. In September 2023, the resort announced a 10-year, $1 billion-plus expansion that will add (among other facilities) a new 800-room hotel tower and a new arena that will host various events, most notably Nevada Wolf Pack men's basketball games.
An ideal location for a pleasant stroll, the layout of the University campus was inspired by Jefferson's University of Virginia. Visitors will find a parklike setting with a variety of architectural styles, and the Fleischmann Planetarium. Guided walking tours are available by reservation.

University of Nevada sports, competing in five men's sports, 10 women's sports, and one coed sport (rifle shooting), mostly in the Mountain West Conference. As with most major universities, the most widely followed sports are football and men's basketball. The Wolf Pack's rivalry with its sister campus in Las Vegas, UNLV, is especially intense. The main athletics venues are on campus, with the most notable being Mackay Stadium (football) and the Lawlor Events Center (basketball); the latter also houses the main ticket office for all Wolf Pack sports. The men's basketball team is planning to move to a new arena at the Grand Sierra Resort in 2026.
