Reno
Neighborhoods
Reno is small and it ends abruptly. Almost everything a visitor wants is within fifteen minutes of the Arch, but only one part of the city is genuinely walkable — so the useful question about any district here is how you get there, not how far it looks on a map.
Downtown Reno
The Arch, the casino core, and the river running through it.
Midtown
Where Reno eats, drinks and buys records.
The Riverwalk District
The best free thing downtown.
The University District
Campus, the arena, the stadium, and a lot of free public programming.
South Reno
The big resorts, the convention centre, and the shopping.
Sparks
A separate city that you will not notice crossing into.
East Reno
The Grand Sierra, the fairgrounds, and the airport.
Northwest Reno
Where the balloons go up.
