Located in the northwest section of the United States, the “Biggest Little City in the World” can be found in a high desert river valley at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. The city has been known for its arrays of casinos; however, looking aside the glitz and sparkles of the buildings, Reno is also home to some manufacturing plants, and the city has played an essential role in the state’s warehousing and distribution role. There are 18 ski resorts that are only an hour’s drive from the city along with thousands of hiking and biking trails, the picturesque Pyramid Lake, and the world-renowned Lake Tahoe, which makes Reno a popular destination for family getaways. The city’s growth has brought about more diverse amenities that families can enjoy.
