TAKE A STROLL ALONG THE RIVERWALK
It's like driving a century in just two hours. The National Automobile Museum (The Harrah Collection) lets you travel through time like few other places can. Just two blocks from the streets of downtown Reno, you'll walk down streets of the past. Its cars, sights, sounds and places are yours to explore. Beyond the streets, you'll discover a century of automobiles: more than 220 antique, vintage, classic, special interest and one-of-a-kind wonders. You'll be dazzled by the cars of the stars. And the road doesn't end there.
The museum features 105,000 square feet of space on one level, 4 authentic street scenes representing each quarter of the 20th century, complete information displayed with each car, a Changing Exhibits Gallery, Masterpiece Circle featuring themed car displays, 145 seat lecture hall, automotive shop which is open to the public, a world famous automotive research library, a museum store and free parking.
The museum also has complete party and banquet facilities for your next themed event, special reception or formal dinner. Their professional staff will design any celebration, including full catering, Museum tours, entertainment and other special services.

The Summit Reno Just about every big brand that was missing from Reno has set up shop at The Summit. Everything is upscale and first-class. If you aren't into walking, a Summit shuttle runs shoppers around the center. I do question the wisdom of building an outdoor mall in Reno. Plenty of snow falls out by Galena where this one is located, and an icy winter wind whips through the pass from Lake Tahoe.
Stores include Dillards, Century Theatres, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, William-Sonoma, to name a few. Lots of big names in Reno for the first time.
The Summit is south of downtown Reno, at the corner of S. Virginia Street and the Mt. Rose Highway
Meadowood Mall Reno's biggest and best indoor mall is a great place to shop, especially when the weather is funky (i.e., too hot or too cold). The mall sits in the middle of its property, with parking all around. It has several wings radiating from a central plaza, making it easy to get confused about where stuff is. I still get lost in there.
Stores include Macy's, Sears, JC Penney, Disney Store, Bath & Body Works. There are other big chain stores and a few locals.
Meadowood Mall is at the corner of S. McCarran Blvd. and S. Virginia Street.
The Legends just north of I80 and west of Sparks Blvd. Woo Hoo!!! Scheels!!!
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, this course features a par 3 island and is considered one of Reno's best. If you plan to bring your clubs, let Mary Snider know before the reunion. One of our Reno local shipmates plays there often, and has obtained a special deal for us.
The National Bowling Stadium in downtown Reno is for big tournaments, but there areas that can be rented for various parties and events. If you are really into bowling, it's a great place to watch some of the nation's top bowlers when the USBC pros are in town.

Larry Reeb is a veteran, Chicago-based comedian whose more familiar moniker is “Uncle Lar,” which he not only calls himself onstage, but that’s also what comic colleagues and longtime fans call him – and for everyone who says it, the nickname is a term of endearment with tongue placed firmly in cheek. A slice of irony on wry.
The Wilbur D. May Center is an adventure for people of all ages. It is a Museum, a collection of rare and exotic artifacts, a place to experience fun traveling exhibits and special moments. The Arboretum is where gardeners gather seeds of knowledge; an incomparable display and living museum of colorful flowers, creekside meadows, outdoor courtyards and secluded benches.
