Reno
Nevada’s historic casino town, set in the foothills of the pine-covered
Sierra Nevada, is the blueprint for what neighboring Las Vegas once
was. Dubbed the world’s “biggest little city,” Reno has remade itself
into a hub of food, gaming, and nightlife that more than 200,000
people call home. The small-town friendliness is as infectious as the
idyllic weather. Whether your idea of the perfect day is taking a stroll
in the city’s energetic Riverwalk District or hedging your bets at one of
a dozen casinos, touch down at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport
(RNO) to let the adventure begin.
The downtown
Reno Riverwalk
is active
year-round.

The hot tables in town—aside from
those on the glowing game floors—belong to Reno’s top restaurants. Soak
up the cosmopolitan ambience at
Atlantis Casino Resort Spa’s Atlantis
Steakhouse, recognized for winning
Travel Weekly’s Magellan Award for
Best Restaurant Design. Famous for
serving the city’s best cowboy rib-eye,
this steakhouse turns the notion of
casino food on its head. Make a dinner

SO NERVOUS
Soak up the local culture at the bar.
Scoring a prime handcrafted brew in
Reno is as easy as finding a warm cup
of cocoa this time of year. There are
more than a dozen craft breweries in
town, and The Brew Brothers make
it convenient by crafting beer at the
Eldorado Resort Casino, alongside
nightly live bands and DJs. Under the
Rose, a new microbrewery housed in
a former auto body and paint shop, is
also elevating the local suds scene in
the emerging Fourth Street neighborhood. Sidle up to the bar at hip
watering holes like MidTown’s Chapel
Tavern, Lincoln Lounge, and Craft
Wine & Beer to find local microbreweries on pour, and save the date for the
fourth Saturday of every month, when
downtown fills up for the Reno Beer
Crawl. You get a wristband, a map,
and a glass to use for refills at over
20 locations. November’s progressive
happy hour is the aptly themed Pray
for Snow Beer Crawl.
On the other end of the sipping
spectrum, top-shelf mixologists work
their magic at the Whitney Peak Hotel’s farm-to-table Heritage Restaurant
and Bar. Underneath the glow of the
Reno Arch, order playfully named
libations like the Snow-Capped Manhattan, made with whiskey, vermouth,
orange bitters, and brandied cherry.

Although Reno is smaller than its
sister city Las Vegas, there’s no shortage of star power lighting up the local
stages. Every night you can find live

from rock concerts and R&B revues to

DO
Before the Las Vegas Strip ruled the
gambling world, Reno was known as
the original gaming playground, flush
with Rat Pack–era cool. If you’re looking for a little nocturnal excitement,
this city still has night-out entertainment options in spades. Play the night
away at one of Reno’s 12 nonstop casinos, including megawattage complexes
like the AAA Four Diamond Award–
ranked Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, a
first-rate option for Northern Nevada’s
largest annual $100,000 blackjack
tournament.
During the winter months, gambling often comes second to powderseeking for tourists looking to catch
some big air. Merge the slopes and the
slots by taking advantage of shuttle
services and custom stay-and-ski
packages. Reserve a seat aboard the
130 SOUTHWEST NOVEMBER 2014
Mount Rose Ski Tahoe ski shuttle for
a direct route to the majestic, snowcapped peaks that are just 25 minutes
from Reno. A favorite among locals,
Mount Rose boasts 1,200 skiable acres,
a 9,700-foot summit, and an early
opening date for skiing and snowboarding.
RELA X
Once you’ve secured your winnings,
slumber soundly at the hip Whitney
Peak Hotel, which provides luxury,
boutique accommodations adjacent
to the world-famous Reno Arch. The
city’s natural beauty and railroad
past inform the upscale, eclectic
decor—think hand-carved wood and
stone, rich hues, and BaseCamp, a
7,000-square-foot indoor bouldering
park. A 16th-floor Concierge Level
King Suite is a worthy splurge, with
panoramic views of the rugged landscape beyond.

Tahoe
Surrounded by the country’s densest concentration of ski slopes, Lake Tahoe
is a winter-sports paradise with postcard-worthy views to match. Straddling
the California-Nevada border in the Sierra Nevada, this winter playground,
anchored by the largest alpine lake in North America, boasts 14,000 acres
of skiable terrain and an 80-percent chance of sunshine on any given day.
Getting there is easy—a 75-minute shuttle ride from Reno—but convincing
yourself to leave is a challenge. With beloved resorts like Squaw Valley and a
glamorous dining scene on North Lake, we strongly suggest a vacation regimen of ski, eat, sleep—repeat.

Lake Tahoe is a wintersports paradise with
postcard-worthy views.
SAVOR
Tahoe has two distinctive food scenes:
Upscale North Lake is home to classic
culinary temples, while vibrant South
Lake is the ideal spot for dinner at a
laid-back pub or a night out on the
town. You could easily spend a week
tasting your way around the lake—if
the slopes weren’t so appealing.
In North Shore enclave Incline Village, local favorite Jack Rabbit Moon
is revered for its modern design and
edgy, seasonally changing menu at the

of a historic ski lodge that was home
to North America’s first mechanized
chairlift, this local institution is
decked out with old wooden skis,
sleds, skates, and vintage photos of
Truckee. Favorites to order are the
Wagyu beef bavette steak, pine nut–
crusted petrale sole, and butternut
squash enchiladas. The chalet-chic

Together with Alpine Meadows,
Squaw Valley offers 6,000 acres
of Lake Tahoe’s most sought-after
terrain, including 43 lifts and eight
mountain peaks. You’ll need more
than a day to explore the wide-open
bowls, expansive groomed terrain,
mountaintop beginner area, terrain
parks, and legendary steeps. If you
just can’t get enough of the powdery
stuff, the family-owned ski resort
keeps its cable car running into the
evening for night skiing on beginner and intermediate terrain.
Squaw Valley may boast the
most athletically challenging runs,
but in terms of size it comes in
second to South Lake’s Heavenly
Mountain Resort, which claims 30
chairlifts, 4,800 acres and beginnerfriendly terrain. The resort is a
family-friendly go-to for tubing,

The Crow and the Duck.
A
Crow, dying of thirst, happened upon a
pitcher of water. Alas, the water was so low
that the Crow could not reach it. Having
gathered all the rocks he could find, he
dropped them into the pitcher,
until the water had risen
enough to drink.
Upon passing by, a Duck saw
this technique and attempted
to later claim it as his own.
Thankfully, the Crow relied upon
Watson Rounds to protect and
enforce his ideas.
And so, the unethical Duck
was thwarted.
The Crow looked upon him with a
discerning eye as he said,
“True wit always has an answer.”
The moral of the story: always go with Watson Rounds.
