The Good News and the Bad News about the Reno Tahoe experience

It’s bad news is that the day is over, meaning that your skiing is coming to an end or your golf game is wrapping up, but the good news is that the evening is just beginning and so are your restaurant options, entertainment options, the shows, the gaming opportunities are all in front of you for the rest of the night. This is the focus of the RSCVA and their new ad campaign that will be launched in Sunset, Via, Westways, Ski, skiing and powder magazines. The Reno Renaissance is on it’s way which includes a $400 million project at the Peppermill Hotel Casino and its new Tuscany Tower. There is also the project at the Atlantis Hotel Casino that will connect that property with the Reno Sparks Convention Center with a new overhead enclosed walkway. There has been $90 million in improvements and new restaurants at the Grand Sierra Resort, and Renovations by the Silver Legacy and the new configuration in downtown at  Virginia Street that make that area more friendly to pedestrians. The feedback has been tremendous, to the opening of Cabelas near Verdi, the rebirth of downtown Reno, the plans for a triple A baseball stadium and the plans to cover parts of the ReTrac train trench and expand the area for more friendly retail development.  In Sparks there is the $475 million Sparks Marina project that will include an 800 room hotel, casino, indoor arena plus the 248,000 square foot Scheels sporting goods megastore and the themed restaurants and retail that will surround it. People who have not been in Reno Tahoe  more recently than the last five years really don’t know what is going on and with what is going to happen in the next year or two, it is gong to add that much more excitement for the Reno Tahoe marketplace.
