Downtown Reno celebrates its past and looks ahead to the future during the Pacific Fine Arts Festivals. The event is usually held in the latter part of July, and it features, among other attractions, more than 45 award-winning artists and crafts people showcasing a wide variety of their works including photography, oil paintings, ceramic artwork, jewelry, and lots more.
It isn't possible to visit Reno and not try your luck at the slots, poker or your favorite table game in the amazing casino at Circus Circus Hotel Casino. While you're there, enjoy an unforgettable meal in any of their six restaurants that include a sushi bar, a generous buffet or a mouth-watering menu in the hotel steak house. And if entertainment and attractions are your game, be sure to catch the latest big-name concert, cabaret show, or circus shows that are on the always-busy Circus Circus Hotel Casino schedule.
Nothing starts a great, thought-provoking conversation like a great stage play. And you and your date can catch some great local, live theater at Reno's Bruka Theatre. The facility is rustic but the accomplished team of actors, actresses, directors and technical personnel always put on some highly impressive performances from classics like Richard III to lighter fare like Angry Housewives. So grab your tickets, find your seats and hold your date's hand through a romantic evening featuring accomplished local theater.
More of nature's wondrous creatures are on display at the Sierra Safari Zoo.

There are more than two hundred animals to see including wallabys, big cats, monkeys, deer and zebras.
