If you love cars, then make plans to be in Reno for Hot August Nights, a festival that features hundreds and hundreds of custom hot rods and restored muscle cars. It happens the first week in August every year and entire parking lots across the city turn into car shows. So get revved up and don't forget your camera and a big tube of sun screen to survive the heat.

Come in and be a part of one of Reno's most famous traditions, the Little Waldorf Saloon. Affectionately known as the Lil' Waldorf, it's a great choice for having drinks with friends and enjoying the great atmosphere that includes sports on several big screens, great drink specials and a friendly staff. Plus, there's always something fun going on every night of the week like Wii tournaments, pool competitions and lots of giveaways. The deeply-stocked bar features over 40 hand-crafted beers, so if you're a beer enthusiast this is the perfect nightlife destination for you.

Sparks Rotary is an ideal place to cast your line whether you're flying solo or bringing the whole family. Actually, it is an ideal place to teach your kid the virtues and fun of recreational fishing, but remember that if your fishing companion is over 12 and he wets a line, he needs to have a license to do so. At any rate, it is an ideal place for some quiet, relaxing family fun.
