As many well-fed travelers know, the best place to get a meal is to follow the locals to their favorites for either vittles or fine dining .  Though Reno has numerous great places to eat, many are within a few of miles of the downtown area. Here are ten of the local's favorites, in no particular order:

Fourth Street Bistro - 3065 4th Street.        323-3200        The cuisine is excellent.  Whether you dine on the halibut, lamb, duck, ...

One of the most popular downtown resorts is the Eldorado. It's a favorite for locals and visitors alike because of the high-quality restaurants, large gaming floor, excellent theater, and amenities like the spa it offers.

Most restaurants do offer some vegetarian choices, and most casino buffets offer ...

Sure, we still get far less rainfall than say, Seattle, but the vegetation here is different, and so is the climate. We're warm in the summer (but not as warm as Las Vegas), and can get down ...

If you want to incorporate a little history with your visit to Northern Nevada, then you have to visit Virginia City. It's just a short drive up Geiger Grade (about 40 minutes from downtown), and the drive alone is worth it! Virginia City was the hub of the Comstock Lode silver mines in the 1860s, and today you'll find historic museums, mine tours, shopping, and dining, all in the same ...
