Reno (population 120,000) is in western Nevada near the California border and Lake Tahoe.
Reno claims to be the "Biggest Little City in the World", and is widely known as the "Divorce Capital of the World" due to a six-month divorce law on the books since 1861.This is changing, as more people come to Reno to get married, and enjoy their honeymoon in a town with a flavor of a romantic 'Last Frontier' ambience.
The casino industry was first introduced when the State of Nevada legalized gambling in 1931.Only after WWII have the casinos rapidly grown to become the major industry they are today.
Reno's main attractions remain the large casinos with 24 hours gambling activity and entertainment.But visitors can also enjoy world class hotels, big name entertainment, scenic geographical setting, proximity to Lake Tahoe and area ski slopes.For children there is the new Great Basin Adventure, a theme park with a replica of a gold mine, petting zoo, and a dinosaur exhibit.For grown ups with special fondness for cars there is the new William F.Harrah Foundation National Automobile Museum with more than 200 vintage, classic and special interest autos.
