I couldn't say it better myself. Had to live in The Biggest Little Shithole for 2 years, was miserable. Only thing Reno has going for it is that it is cheaper than Vegas. Literally that is it. Hardly any good restaurants in Reno, horrible shopping, lousy casinos, no bars worth making an effort to go to. Its like a fix for a junkie, really need some cheap gambling go to Reno, get your fix, get out. Sort of Atlantic City like to most on the East Coast. Tahoe on the other hand is nice, but very cold at night. It will be below freezing in the early am, but probably around 40 in the 10-12pm range. Good place for a weekend, but don't try to make it anything more than that.
Take an oxygen mask if you go to the Cal Neva, by the time you get to the third floor sportsbook you will be gasping for air otherwise. OMG, that is like Mad Max meets a casino. Its almost laughable the old geezers and fuggly women you see in that place. I will never forget this one woman walking around, insanely ugly woman had a tit popping out of her tank top! This woman must have been 300 pounds, still out wearing short shorts and a tank top. Tops it off by not bothering to wear a bra and there it is just popping in and out.
