Tahoe, however, is magnificent. Too bad they're 45 minutes apart. They have a riverboat-style boat that takes you across to Emerald Bay - that was awesome. I wish I'd had more time to spend exploring that area.

If I ever go back, I'll stay at one of the Tahoe hotels and only use Reno for the airport.

I use to work in the gaming industry and was forced to spend months at a time in Reno... the above post is right on target. anything worth doing in that area is outside of Reno and closer to Tahoe. Tahoe has all kinds of great things. There is a Cabo Wabo Cantina in the basement of Harveys, sometimes they have good bands in there, and sometimes the man himself is playing a show.
