The Cactus Creek Southwestern Steakhouse is worth the effort it takes to find it, although you might have passed it or may be close to it without even realizing it! The restaurant is in the Bonanza Casino just north of downtown, and both the casino and eatery are local favorites that tourists may not find right away. The steaks are plentiful slabs of beef, and the side dishes are just as delectable. Add in great service, no-hassle parking and a usually short wait for a table and you've found a real jewel of a restaurant.

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.

The Nevada Museum of Art invites you to explore and learn while contributing to help preserve the tradition of art for many generations to come. With various contemporary and classic exhibits, the curators and professionals at the museum work hard to continue hosting a steady stream of compelling presentations. If a tour of the museum isn't enough, the NMA offers the chance to dig deeper and learn about the art and the artists it supports at its E.L. Concord Museum School.
