Riverfront

Busy Laughlin waterfront area with many activities and scenic riverwalk.

Reviewed By jimbea11 - San Antonio, United States

Old casino smell, not sure why all the casinos in this area do not have enough quarter machines. Impossible to flag a waitress for a drink. Not enough adequate signage where to locate atm, money machines or restrooms.

Truckee River Walk

River walkway that affords views of the river and Reno.

Reviewed By MariaDabaghchian

The riverwalk runs along the north side of the river with some meandering where foot and mixed bridges cross to the island home of Wingfield Park. It is especially attractive in autumn late in the afternoon when the fall foliage and sunsets flame the glassy stretches of the river. Brief plaques provide fun historical context. Some of the Riverwalk is simply a broad sidewalk bordered by the river on one side and restaurants and shops on the other, but other segments run through parks and, indeed one end is at Idlewild Park, where those enchanted by their ramble can continue near the river. It is a remarkable blend of urban amenities (shops & restaurants) and a wild-land feel with waterfowl and human frolicking in the water in the summer. . In how many urban rivers can you watch folks trout fishing for their breakfast? Parking is available nearby. Homeless people do hang out and sleep rough in some places here, but the context is peaceful and tolerant, with "Reno Ambassadors" being a positive calming and inclusive presence.

The Strip

Reviewed By DaveFleck - Toronto, Canada

The Las Vegas Strip is simply amazing to see. My first time in Vegas Amazing people watching Amazing photography Amazing shopping Amazing Restaurants/Food Amazing Casinos (Many of course) Amazing Shows/Entertainment Bring comfortable running shoes as the strip is massif. You could not possibly walk the entire strip and see everything in one day. Don't forget to check out one of the most amazing and only free things on the strip The Bellagio Fountains Show The Strip is divided up into 3 sections South, Central and North Yes the strip is that large. Bring lots of money or credit as everything is very expensive on Las Vegas Strip. We will be coming back to Las Vegas Strip many more times and would recommend to anyone to see the Las Vegas Strip at least once in their life as there is nowhere else in the world like this. You don't need to be a gambler to visit Las Vegas as there is so much to see and do however if you do gamble you will be in heaven.

We stayed at The Plaza this time and took The Freemont Experience in full throttle. Great street performers, awesome casino's, amazing 3 free band stages, killer food & drink and the people watching is USDA PRIME # 1! Zip lining, art work, great shopping and more! Not kid or child friendly and we left ours home!

Cathedral Canyon

Reviewed By rockinrod67

Drove down the Old Spanish Trail to the Cathedral Canyon turnoff. The grave of Queho is there. Everything in the canyon is trashed and has been shot at, but still is very interesting to see. Road into canyon is a little rough. I was in a new jeep, so no problem.
