Reno Travel Tips

August 24, 2024 • John Dornoff • Episode 133

Are you thinking about a trip to Reno, Nevada?

In this episode of the Travel Fun and Adventure Podcast, we give you our tips for planning a trip to the Biggest Little City in the World.

Getting to Reno:

Reno International Airport—Served by all the major airlines. While Reno has twice been a hub for airlines, both of which no longer exist, it currently is not a hub airport and is, in fact, a nice airport to fly into since it's less crowded, especially compared to its bigger counterpart, Las Vegas.

Driving: Interstate 80 goes right through the heart of Reno on its way from San Francisco to the East Coast. US 395 is the major north-south route traveling from Southern California to the Canadian Border

Train: Reno is served by the California Zephyr and Amtrak buses from Sacramento.

Where to Stay: Downtown and Midtown are two of the more popular areas, but hotels are spread throughout the area (although almost none are north of the downtown area and into the northern suburbs). Room prices are generally much better than in Las Vegas, although when significant events happen, prices can go through the roof just like anywhere else.

Getting around:

Car: The two main streets in Reno are Virginia Street, which is the main north-south road that used to be US Highway 395, and 4th Street, which is the major east-west road that used to be US Highway 40 and is now Interstate 80 Business.

Bus: RTC provides fairly good transit service throughout the Reno area.

Weather: Summers can be warm and dry but nearly as hot as Las Vegas. Winter can be cold (the last time I was there was February, and it goes down to 0 degrees), and spring and fall can be nice but have major temperature variations.

Major Events: Air Ballon races, Airplane races, and a major rodeo.
