Simple Cremation

Reno's downtown area is rife with historic buildings and architecture; to enjoy it while staying relatively cool, take a walk along the historic The River Walk District. The walkway winds through downtown and is not only scenic in its own right, it highlights the whole downtown area giving it an added touch of natural beauty amid the busy commercial landscape.

After enjoying a stellar meal and walking around a bit, the perfect choice for an after-dinner drink is the Vintage Court Bar. This elegant wine bar features over 30 selections of white, red and sparkling wines and they are all dramatically displayed in a unique wine cellar setting. This very popular addition to Harrah's Hotel and Casino has been a hit with locals and visitors alike, so get a table near the window and enjoy your glass of wine while watching Reno's nightlife unfold before your eyes.

Despite being in the middle of the desert, Reno offers some great opportunities for water recreation. The Tahoe Whitewater Tours is conveniently located near the bustling downtown hotel-casino and booming arts district. Lots of places to play including 11 pools for kayak fun, a kayak racing course and lots more.

The Bartley Ranch Regional Park not only offers a unique, natural environment to take in the area's gorgeous scenery and indigenous animal life, it also affords you the chance to get on horseback and take a ride through the open fields and grassy expanses of this outdoor oasis. The park has drawn rave reviews for how well the staff keeps the horses, grounds and other amenities in top shape, ready for any visitor to enjoy.
