Sometimes, science and nature can put on a better show than any Hollywood movie. That is always the case at the Fleishmann Planetarium and Science Center at the University of Nevada in Reno. Through the technology of wide-screen film presentations, you can experience what it feels like to be caught in a hurricane on the bayou, go on a cosmic safari through the solar system and even brave the mysteries of the Nile. There's always a full schedule of exhibits and special presentations, and the kids will love the multidimensional, interactive activities. And don't forget, the planetarium is open until 9 so you can get up close to the planets and the stars through the high-powered telescopes that are housed in this showcase of natural, interplanetary wonder. If you crave and appreciate knowledge of planet Earth, this is the attraction for you.
So if you've hit the casinos, shows and other attractions on the ground and you're still hungry for a thrill, the only way to go is up! As in up in a plane to skydive back to earth. The professionals at Skydive Lake Tahoe will prepare you with a detailed training session and then outfit you so that your extreme sports experience is everything you expected and so much more!
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.
