Reno, Nevada

    Article

    A city located in the northwestern part of the state of Nevada, very near the border with California, just east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Reno was established as a gold and silver mining community in the late 1800s and grew gradually until the 1930s, when Nevada legalized gambling. Reno became known for its many casinos, which offered a popular destination for tourists and gamblers from neighboring states.
