Reno's downtown area is rife with historic buildings and architecture; to enjoy it while staying relatively cool, take a walk along the historic The River Walk District. The walkway winds through downtown and is not only scenic in its own right, it highlights the whole downtown area giving it an added touch of natural beauty amid the busy commercial landscape.
After enjoying a stellar meal and walking around a bit, the perfect choice for an after-dinner drink is the Vintage Court Bar. This elegant wine bar features over 30 selections of white, red and sparkling wines and they are all dramatically displayed in a unique wine cellar setting. This very popular addition to Harrah's Hotel and Casino has been a hit with locals and visitors alike, so get a table near the window and enjoy your glass of wine while watching Reno's nightlife unfold before your eyes.
Reno Open Studios offers a unique opportunity to tour local artists' studios to watch them create their different work using different mediums. See examples of painting, printmaking, pottery, weaving and jewelry making and maybe even try your hand at creating a masterpiece of your own. This tour also includes a visit to the Nevada Museum of Art.
