Maybe hitting the river with a group of experienced rafters who know how to have a good time is more your style of rafting recreation. If that's the case, then get ready for a wild ride along either the American River or Truckee River thanks to the students at the University of Nevada's Campus Recreation Department. They are not only well-versed in riding the whitewater waves, but also in having an excellent time doing it.
Lucke's Saloon lives up to its name, as the venue has been around since the 1940s. Back in the 70s, the bar drew a fairly rough crowd, but over time it has attracted business professionals and people who just want a break from the usual bar scene and want to be comfortable in familiar surroundings. That is truly the case as some of the patrons have called Lucke's their favorite place for nearly twenty years. Three pool tables, great drinks, a seasoned bar staff and awesome music make Lucke's Saloon a great little escape.
