Every May, the Reno River Festival signals the beginning of summer, as it has come to be recognized as the first big event of the warmer months. Events that have become synonymous with the Reno River Festival include a whitewater kayaking competition, a 2.5-mile two person relay called Run Amuck, and the very popular Biggest Little Homebrew Challenge where festival goers are encouraged to enter their home-brewed beer in a hotly competitive showcase.

Reno Open Studios offers a unique opportunity to tour local artists' studios to watch them create their different work using different mediums. See examples of painting, printmaking, pottery, weaving and jewelry making and maybe even try your hand at creating a masterpiece of your own. This tour also includes a visit to the Nevada Museum of Art.

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.

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.
