📍 Destination Overview
Reno, Nevada's second-largest city, is nicknamed “the biggest little city in the world.” A resort town famed for its casinos, marked by the iconic neon Reno Arch, it houses the National Automobile Museum with over two hundred vintage cars—its most unusual attraction. A gateway to Lake Tahoe just an hour away, Reno also serves Burning Man festivalgoers as a supply and lodging base.
