When you’re finished with the daily convention activities,
there’s plenty to do after-hours in Reno. Reno’s
centerpiece is the Truckee River Whitewater Park, where rafters
and kayakers can tackle the rapids without leaving town.
Lining both banks of the river is the Truckee River Arts
District, which hosts an array of art galleries, restaurants,
and nightclubs. The Nevada Museum of Art, Fleischmann Planetarium
and Science Center, and National Automobile Museum feature
state of the art exhibits and programs. Interested in a tour?
Try the Ghost Trail Tour, Boom or Bust Driving Tour, Historic
Reno Preservation Society Walking Tour, or for the ultimate
experience, try an airplane or helicopter tour.
The city capitalizes on its spectacular environs of mountains,
lakes, river, ranchlands, and high desert that provide an
array of outdoor adventures just minutes from the hotel and
meeting rooms. Reno-Tahoe is the destination site
if you love the outdoors. Enjoy biking, hiking, horseback
riding, rock climbing, sky diving, hot air ballooning, sand
boarding, fishing, golfing, soaring, hang gliding, and sailing.
You don’t even have to leave the convention site to
experience the excitement of Reno. The Grand Sierra Resort
and Casino offers more than just gaming. New offerings at
the resort include All City Live, a hip nightclub, and Nikki
Beach Poolside, which features beach volleyball, a swim-up
bar and nightly entertainment. Celebrity chef Charlie Palmer
recently opened two new restaurants, a steakhouse and Fin,
the chef’s first seafood restaurant. Other food and
beverage options include Dolce Enoteca e Ristorante which
boasts a chic Hollywood atmosphere and The Reserve, a wine
bar with Enomatic dispensers for individual wine tasting.
The Grand Theatre features some of the biggest names in entertainment
and is home to the world’s biggest indoor stage.
Family friendly, the resort provides a 50-lane bowling alley,
an Aqua Golf Lake-top Driving Range, a golf simulator, a
Funquest Family Entertainment Center, a Clay Quest ceramics
studio, a miniature golf course, an Olympic sized pool, and
a Malibu Go-Karts center.
An exciting and educational convention
program is being planned for our 23rd annual convention
year so be sure to visit the website often for updates.
