Tahoe Senior Plaza

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.

Come in and be a part of one of Reno's most famous traditions, the Little Waldorf Saloon. Affectionately known as the Lil' Waldorf, it's a great choice for having drinks with friends and enjoying the great atmosphere that includes sports on several big screens, great drink specials and a friendly staff. Plus, there's always something fun going on every night of the week like Wii tournaments, pool competitions and lots of giveaways. The deeply-stocked bar features over 40 hand-crafted beers, so if you're a beer enthusiast this is the perfect nightlife destination for you.

Get up close and personal with the area's outdoor beaurty and wildlife at the Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary. This facility is home to foxes, wolves, a mountain lion, a black bear and much more! Visiting this preserve is like going on your very own desert safari. The sanctuary also offers a great learning experience thanks to the professionals that work there. The helpful staff is always ready to answer your questions about their furry residents. This wildlife sanctuary is an ideal destination for animal and nature lovers.
