The mecca of gambling - the city of Reno

The mecca of gambling - the city of Reno

In northern Nevada, there is a town called Reno. It is a small town near the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is a small town that is the centre of the gambling industry. On Lake Tahoe, 35 kilometres away, is a beach resort with golf courses, festivals, parks and alpine mountains, as the resort is located 1800 metres above sea level.

The city of Reno in Nevada attracts tourists

The legalisation of casinos and marriages took place in the state of Nevada in the 1930s. At that time, the budget was significantly increased from the influx of people arriving at the casinos. As the locals say, Africans often came to town to divorce their spouses and win at the casinos. However, the divorce law was soon repealed, which reduced the influx of tourists coming to town.

Gaming clubs in Reno

Once gambling was legalised, people from all over the United States and other countries began to flock to the town. The town was overflowing with various gaming clubs and top-rated casinos. Harrah's Entertainment, now the largest gambling company in the country, was established there. 

For a long time, the town competed with the famous Las Vegas, but as time went on, Vegas became the most significant gambling centre. But, of course, Reno is not as well decorated as Vegas, and people don't come here on such massive budgets. As a result, the years have seen a smaller influx of tourists to Reno compared to previous years as the gambling industry has been less in demand. However, players from all over the United States still come here.

Popular Virginia Street

The main number of casinos is located on Virginia Street. The most popular game is the "one-armed bandit" and the classic "blackjack". A peculiar feature is that the old casinos hang up the portraits of the big winners who managed to win the jackpot in the lobbies. Unfortunately, this method of immortalising the luckiest players hardly exists in Las Vegas.

Reno is a little Las Vegas

Reno can genuinely be called a little Las Vegas, as you can visit the casinos, walk the beautiful streets, get married or get married here. In Nevada, the place is frequented by people from nearby cities as well as from nearby countries. The atmosphere is always festive, the streets are decorated, and visitors are treated to dozens and hundreds of casinos where they can try to win large sums of money.
