I\u2019d been living in the S.F. Bay Area for over seven years before I finally discovered Reno<\/a>. For those of you without a Jeopardy-grade geography recall, that\u2019s like living in Salt Lake City and never driving up to Yellowstone: an unforgivable travel offense. But don\u2019t worry. I\u2019m making things better by putting together a Reno\/Tahoe bucket list for all you intrepid domestic travelers. And here it is:<\/p>\n\"RenoSign\"\n

1. Spend a soothing day at the Atlantis Spa.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\"Screen\n

Even if you aren\u2019t staying at Atlantis Casino Resort<\/a> (and you should), it\u2019s worth picking up a day pass to their luxurious spa. There\u2019s a brine inhalation room with a softly-lit waterfall, a Laconium relaxation room with a sole-soothing, heated floor, and muscle-melting Jacuzzi pools with amazing views of the Sierras. Did I mention the milk and honey body wrap?<\/p>\n

2. Take a swing at Grand Sierra<\/a>\u2019s aquatic driving range.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\"Screen\n

Four floating island greens make for unique targets on this famous driving range, and the incentive to get a hole in one is a good one: you can actually win a trip to Hawaii. But don\u2019t get frustrated if your aim isn\u2019t PGA grade \u2014 with a 7 a.m. to midnight schedule and drinks allowed on the range, it can be as much a social event as a sporting one.<\/p>\n

3. Make tracks at Mt. Rose.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\"MtRose\"\n

This is more of a winter \u201cto do,\u201d but no discussion of Reno\/Tahoe is complete without at least one<\/i> mention of its ski resorts. With tons of powder, some truly beautiful views, and the closest proximity to Reno, Mt. Rose<\/a> is an excellent stop for those who want to play on the slopes all day and at the casinos all night.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cStep back in time\u201d in Virginia City.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\"VirginiaCity\"\n

This Gold Rush era boomtown almost disappeared after the Great Depression \u2014 until a popular Western TV show brought it back into the spotlight. Today, visitors can tour historic buildings from the 1800s, take a tour of the local mines, or hop on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad for a ride through the Comstock mining region.<\/p>\n

5. Check out local events like the Cowboy Poetry Festival<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\"GenoaNevada\"\n

Wrangling cattle and writing verse aren\u2019t mutually exclusive occupations. This festival is set in the storied town of Genoa, home to the first ranch in Nevada and just an hour from Reno\u2019s lively downtown. Don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t tell pentameter from hexameter; there\u2019s plenty of music, food, and shopping to enjoy as well.<\/p>\n

Have something to add to the Reno\/Tahoe bucket list? Mention it in the comments! As to me, I\u2019ll be checking the Reno Rockabilly Riot<\/a> event off my own list this weekend. Rock on, Reno.<\/p>\n
