Reno, Nevada

It is often referred to as “The Biggest Little City in the World.” It is known for its casinos and the famous gaming firm Harrah’s Entertainment. The population of this city is 240,000, with a median home price of $355,000, which is, yes, a lot of money that might force you to get a mortgage loan. However, if you find a place to stay, you can enjoy two of the best events hosted by the city: The Great Reno Balloon Race and Hot August Nights. If you are a fan of water activities, Reno has too much to offer! It has three sprawling bodies of water. The stunning Truckee River, the magical Lake Tahoe, and the Pyramid Lake where you can fish, parasail, swim, jetski, water ski, and wakeboard.

Aside from these inviting places, you can also spend time in the National Automobile Museum, dine in at Atlantis Steakhouse or Wet Hen Cafe.
