Thanks for showing us Reno! I've been a regular visitor to Reno for the past 25 years or so. Thanks for not comparing it to Las Vegas. It's a totally different vibe which makes it one of my favorite places to visit.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Allen!

[@mikiewifnoe360]

I live in Reno, and you are right about downtown being undesirable. This city has potential that has never been met since they removed all the old-style casinos, which made this city unique. I do think you were generous in your assessment of Reno.

[@joshb9516]

I saw homeless doing meth downtown Riverwalk.

[@sasamafrass]

The homeless population has gone up as the cost of rent has ballooned out of control.

[@charlesroster9514]

Unfortunately I agree. I live in Truckee. Reno is just dirty and methy. Just no charm left, whatsoever. Costco, Trader Joes, then right back to beautiful Cali. Really no need to visit. Just go to Tahoe.

[@Casinoman8000]

California casinos killed reno. Back when I was a kid(20 yrs ago). I remembered it was lit!! Now it’s okay. It’s still my getaway though. Only 2 hrs away from me.🤷‍♂️😂

[@SlyBurrito360]

Downtown? You talk about the gaslighting gang gang members? The one's with the same faces because they brave like that? No.. 🎩☕️

[@fongbrandon]

I drive from Sacramento because I bowl in Reno quite often. Its about a 2 1/2 hour drive. I enjoy the city when I come up. I always catch a Reno Aces game if they are in town, my wife and I always find new places to shop, see or eat. But because we go so often, we get free rooms at The Row. With Reno being a 45 minute drive to Tahoe its a great place to stay and drive over in the mornings.

[@YellowProductions]

Can't beat free rooms 😀

[@mikecarr1484]

No one cares about baseball. FYI locals wanted an indoor water park. Not a waste of space stadium that sits empty most of the time.

[@eyebeebak]

i live in the bay area so i know reno well. this is a good introduction to reno.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks eyebeeback!

[@davidmiller532]

I moved to Reno from Seattle after 50 years three years ago,I really enjoy it. There is some really nice old architecture homes within Reno, reminds me of some of areas by the University of Washington and some the old Seattle neighborhoods like Ballard I detest tearing down old and replacing with new no character houses.

[@Yolduranduran]

At first I was like Reno 😒 but I have to say it looks like a nice place 😊

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah... I was pleasantly surprised

[@amandabeach9995]

I was born and raised in the Reno/Spark's and moved away in 2018. It is definitely a great place to visit! Soo much has changed. Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River are my favorite places to visit. Pyramid Lake is also quite spectacular.

[@mreppen1]

Just stayed at Harrahs for 3 nights in South Tahoe. Loved it we had a 12 th floor Lake view room with 2 bathrooms! 238$ per night with Resort Fees and Taxes.

[@YellowProductions]

Nice!

[@soniaz1487]

Reno native. Think you did a great job going over our city. Our downtown is not par with other cities and needs many more businesses and things to do to make it thrive once again. Definitely add going to an Aces game next time. It's a great stadium and fun time for the whole family. Please do a Carson City video with a side trip to the wonderful Virginia City next time. Both are filled with history and charm.

[@mikecarr1484]

No one likes the aces. Just transplants from California. We don't give a crap about balls. Locals wanted an indoor water park. Not a gaysball stadium...

[@mikecarr1484]

You go watch em play slap n tickle. Locals despise that shit hole.

[@tovielu5461]

I went to Reno one in May, I like it and when I see your video, it make me love it more. Reno will be my retirement destination. ❤️

[@YellowProductions]

Wonderful!

[@PoGoJoel]

Just moved to Las Vegas from Reno, I miss it. Really great place to live, work and play. The outdoors are really interconnected. There are so many parks and festivals. There is also the national air races, national hot air ballon races and so much more there. The Outlet at Legends is not names for the Casino, that casino is new, but it is themed after the Legends of Nevada, that's what a lot of the art there is about. The splash pound at Legends is a great spot for the kids too cool off too, it popped up in your video, but didn't look like anyone was there. Great Video! oh yeah, the bike path going past the National Automobile museum get's a little sketch because it passes under lots of bridges and through parks, but there a lot of homeless people living in some of those stretches, but it takes you all the way to Sparks, I love that trail.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the correction on the Legends naming

[@nickflemming181]

As a lifelong Northern Nevada resident. I always have to watch Reno videos because some people absolutely give this area a bad wrap for simply being a "low budget Vegas". Props for doing a solid job. I'd say if you ever revise this to definitely highlight the Reno Aces as a thing to do if you come during baseball season. Its a nice, clean little stadium and the team always puts on a good watch. And also for anyone coming during the summer time make sure to check out all of the amazing events and festivals largely held in downtown Reno/Sparks. We have Hot August nights, Rib Fest, Chicken wing fest, Italian festival, Blues Brews and BBQ, Hot Air Balloon races, Street Vibes are just a few to name. Also if you come during summer Food Truck Fridays is one of the largest food truck events in the entire country down at Idlewild Park every friday through the summer. And lastly easy food recommendations. If you want to find a huge collective of great food the Midtown District offers a lot of options close to the action of downtown. And a personal recommendation - if you're looking for an upscale steakhouse experience, visit Peppermill's sister property Western Village in Sparks. Its Peppermill without the Peppermill price tag. Easily the most bang for your buck steakhouse in Reno.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the extra tips Nick!

[@TonyMonreal-xc7tt]

Reno is my favorite home

[@Thegoatofthis1]

Reno is still lit

[@tupinic]

I will be visiting Reno next month for the first time, so excited to see the town and have me some fun. Thanks for the info and recommendations.

[@ParshallEclipse]

I have followed you for years for your videos about cities in Asia I like to visit. I moved to Reno a few years ago- I think you have done a fantastic job of my current hometown and now trust your other videos 1000% because you got so much right about Reno.Reno is amazing. I learned things from you I didn't know- thank you! I hope you come back and do more videos here! We are quiet about what's great here. :)

[@YellowProductions]

Right on Parshall. Thanks so much!

[@CoffeyBrew]

Reno also has a great coffee scene!!

[@YellowProductions]

mmm

[@grottorabbit]

Grand Sierra has a $1 Billion project to build a 10,000 seat arena, Bellagio-Style Fountains Water Show, Aqua Golf and 800 additional rooms in the next 10+ years. The renderings look completely awesome!

[@YellowProductions]

Sweet!

[@aces7515]

Nice review of Reno/Tahoe area. Thank you for not bashing it like so many others do. My parents lived on the outskirts between Boomtown and Reno, really nice peaceful area. Their address was actually Reno, Nv. I’m going to GSR next week for three nights. I go for the gamble or a show, it’s more of an adult destination imo. Lake Tahoe has more families in summer and winter. I agree, don’t miss it, beautiful. One more thing I enjoy, Virginia City, old mining town. They have a tram taking you around town. Also, Carson City is the Capitol of Nv. I sound like I represent the visitors bureau, lol! Sue

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the extra tips Sue 😀

[@Rubster760]

[@randytracy1742]

Thanks for the video about Reno -my long -distance girlfriend recently moved to Reno from San Francisco, California and might soon move to Vegas-I live in Lawrence. Kansas but she and I have been writing to each other for 8 years-I’m waiting to hear from her so I’m going to be patient! 👍👍👍👍👍👩💥❤️

[@johndornoff]

Great video on Reno, although I would have also mentioned Virginia City, which is a great place to visit (although I might be a little biased since my great-great grandfather was one of the original founders of the town, and my great-grandmother was apparently one of the first children to be born there).

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@annemicheledicureia9201]

In my opinion the fancy hotels in Reno (GSR, Peppermill, Atlantis) could honestly compete with some of the Vegas hotels.

Love this! 😀 The Jurassic Park car. I got a bit nostalgic there. And so much good food. It's funny that I actually just had mac and cheese today. 🧀 Very good. But I don't know about climbing that wall. Got a little dizzy just by looking at it. 😅Very nice place. Will you be visiting this again someday? Looks so much fun and so much to explore. 😊 Very great video!! 👍

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Tatjana! But yes... I'm sure we'll be back through Reno to explore Lake Tahoe again :)

[@LornaThorne-hn8fl]

Reno has a great baseball stadium for Reno Aces.

[@jameshiga8077]

Hi Chris. Great info and video on Reno. It's a nice alternative for those who prefer less hustle bustle and crowds of Vegas. Downtown does look really sketchy at night. Good thing they have the walkway between the 3 hotels so you can avoid a sticky situation. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks James!

[@darrylk808]

You're wrong about drive times. Then again, I speed up 80...😂 You need to do the 395 drive. It's one of the most beautiful. When heading south, we often take a detour for a buffet or explore a Sierra pass to get to 395. Just make sure you fill gas before you get near Yosemite! 🤑🤑🤑

[@YellowProductions]

Better that I tell people it takes longer and they're happy it's shorter than the other way around 😀

[@Twinsen764]

Finally got footage of the DDR machine! This has inspired me to consider visiting Reno. We have a round 1 here, it's a really good arcade except they took out one of my favorite machine earlier this year.

[@YellowProductions]

Right on Twinsen 😀

[@mrpeel3239]

Great overview! Which hotel would be considered classic Reno in style and feel?

[@WalterSchwartz-l5k]

They should build a mall like west Edmonton mall in reno .

[@sg.1682]

My husband and I stayed three nights at the Atlantis Casino, NEVER AGAIN!!!! We both ended up getting bit by BED BUGS!! 🤬 I called many times to speak to management about it and NEVER once got a call back with an apology or nothing. we also never got our credits after using our Monarch reward cards for dining at their restaurants and going to the spa and gambling I feel like they treat their customers like garbage we will try the J Resort or Peppermill next time.

[@YellowProductions]

Oof. Sounds awful. Thanks for the report!

[@JohnADuerk]

Well done!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks John!

[@edvaira6891]

Next time you’re down here, they have a new Round 1 location in Plaza Bonita in Chula Vista!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the update! I'll definitely check it out!

[@brendapayne6603]

An excellent review and I learned a lot. I spent time at the Sands property but I guess it has been torn down. I hope you can do reviews of Truckee (the town), Placerville and Sacramento.

[@nvsilverlady]

Not torn down. Was renovated as the J resort.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Brenda! Truckee and Sacramento are on the list eventually. I haven't been to Placerville yet. What's there to see?

[@mindsetmotivation9124]

How did i miss this???

[@SomeLazyDr]

Well researched. I live in Reno for seven years. I'd describe the Eldorado as Godfather chic - Italian inspired. Both Silver Legacy and Eldorado were run by the Carano family, which includes people like the actress Gina Carano and the NFL player Glenn Carano. Eventually they bought the Circus Circus off of MGM - Circus Circus in both Vegas and Reno used to have the same owner. Fully agree with you on the sketchiness of downtown Reno. It's disappointing it's still sketchy six years later. I was actually robbed and assaulted by the Circus Circus Reno... It's a shame, because with the riverwalk and the walkability it -should- be nice, but it really is quiet and when it's not, it's an awful lot of desperate and potentially very violent junkies... I think the Rancho San Rafael park is outstanding, though... If for whatever reason you're back in Reno, it's super nice.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Dr for the extra background! Sorry to hear about what happened to you downtown. But thanks for sharing that valid point of caution

[@jnjaganon8226]

If you ever come back to Reno, should do hotel reviews on the premium 3 (GSR, Atlantis, Peppermill).

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the suggestion. I only had one night so it was the Rennaisance -- and I had an expiring Marriott credit card away stay. So free is always 👍

[@anthonywarthold]

Great video Chris. We’ve been to Tahoe a lot but never ventured to Reno. Based on your excellent video it looks like Reno is worth a visit on our next trip to the US 👍🏻

Awesome! Thanks Anthony!

Things to do in Reno, shitty shopping malls comparing to your metropolitan city, shitty casinos with low quality shows or washed up bands, shitty bars lined up and down “the strip”, lack of public transportation, an actually pretty good automobile museum that isn’t worth a plane ticket however, and last but not least an actual good area to hike around but most locals don’t lol.
