Pretty much just drink... drink... and drink... lol.


If you ever wanted to get into snowboarding/skiing, there are a TON of good places to go that are only an hour away. I used to cruise Mccarrian (i think its called... if i remember correctly, because it went all the way around the city. So if i got bored id do that.

The casions are lame... its like a ghetto vegas (that and ive never really been into gambling). Take a place thats old as dirt here, and its nicer then anything in Reno. lol

Eat at: Awful Awful! Its a HUGE burger and a massive basket of fries for a couple bucks. And actaully really good. Is a hole in the wall in the Fitzgerald (spelling).

Hot august nights is pretty awsome... but you just missed that.



Oh and like stated above... Lake Tahoe is amazing.

While the casinos do fail in comparison to Vegas it looks like you haven't been up here in quite a while. The peppermill is pretty cool and nicer than a lot of casinos in Vegas. Fitzgeralds has been out of business for a few years, I don't even think the building is there anymore. The awful awful is inside the nugget. And did I mention downtown Reno sucks? HAHAHA

Overall it's pretty dead. Reno used to be a car town. Now it's... well it is what it is. As far as care scene goes, what do you mean? Shows, racing, late model, classic.... We just had a little over a week ago one of the largest classic car shows in the nation. Summer is winding down so the cruises and car shows are as well. I'm more into drag racing myself.

Probably won't find much of any of that in Fallon aside from the dragstrip. You'll pretty much have to head to Reno. I don't do anything with car clubs really but I know there are some. The street scene is all but dried up, we got some quick cars but you won't find em very often on a friday night at best buy or toys-r-us or wherever they meet.

Hopefully it will pan out. What if any emissions laws? Tint laws? Noise Laws?
