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.

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.

The Nevada Historical Society is a museum that highlights some of Reno's key historical pieces like an architectural drawing of the State Building as well as other artifacts, documents and photographs that tell the story of how this part of the state was key to Nevada's economic and geographical development. Visiting the Nevada Historical Society is a nice break from the usual bustle, and you'll learn quite a bit about the ever-developing desert city that is Reno.
