This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Reno and Lake Tahoe, 6th (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

I have just moved to Reno and this book was on my hit list so I can understand and get acquainted with the area as soon as possible. This book is has been a great tool. In the short time I've been here I've seen/done/been to a few of these places referenced and the author describes them exactly. This man knows Reno/Tahoe. I can see me using this book for many years. The only thing I am a bit disappointed in is the amount of restaurants he reviewed. To be fair, there are many, many choices but it does seem that the coverage was a bit less than I would like. I guess I could just try them myself. In summary, very good book and extremely valuable for inside information on Reno/Tahoe.

This book is very helpful and full of information, however I was disappointed that a book about such a gorgeous place had no pictures of the places it was describing. I was bummed, but I'm over it now. At least there's one on the cover!
