THE OUTLAW MICHEAL TOMSIK TOP 10 PLACES AND THINGS TO DO IN AND AROUND RENO NEVADA:
#10) Junkee Clothing and Exchange located on 960 South Virginia Street. This store has a lot of consignments in it you can literally find anything from A to Z in it and also is a great place to shop for clothing. The parking lot is a bit small however but this is a fun store to visit or shop at.
#9) The Basement located at 50 South Virginia Street. This was the old US Post Office it was remolded and a company called ELM Street took over the top part of the old Post Office. However if you look hard you will find the signs for The Basement. In the bottom part of the old Post Office it has some unique stores and shops.
#8) Grand Sierra Resorts Casino located at 2500 East 2nd Street. Out of all the casinos in Reno area in my option this is the best one by far. This casino has a lot to offer an outside driving range into a huge man made pond, go carts and a big swing ride. Recently the casino remodeled the pool and is adding an indoor ice arena along with bowling alley, movie theater, fun center, and a shopping mall. Lots of restaurants, night club, sports wagering and gambling available as well.Easy accesses of I-80 and 395 makes the location great as well. Also the Truckee River runs along the back side of the property and it has a large RV park.
#7) Scheels Sports Store located at 1200 Scheels Road in the Legend Shopping Mall. This store is awesome it has 2 levels and is full of sports stuff. It gas an indoor Ferris Wheel, fresh and salt water fish tanks. A restaurant, and plenty of other fun stuff to play with and view. On the second floor it has a history by use of our Presidents whom all talk and move. This is a must see store.
#6) Sparks Marina located at 300 Howard Drive. The marina is awesome with a 77 acre lake that has a walkway all the way around it. There is a dog park, fishing, boating, and events held at the marina. There are several local restaurants, Legends Mall, casinos that are near by. Also there is an RV park near the marina as well. It is great for a family day out.
#5) National Auto Museum located at 10 Lake Street. If you love cars and history you will love this place. I had a great time walking through looking at all the old cars.
#4) Nevada State Train Museum located at 2180 South Carson Street. If you have a love for trains this is for you. They also offer a train ride during certain times of the year.
#3) Sierra Safari Zoo located at 12200 North Virginia Street. Since 1989 this very small zoo has operated under the radar of many people. The kids will love it however.
#2) Virginia City located in the mountains just outside of Reno Nevada and Carson City. This city has a long history in Nevada. You will find tons of shopping, food, history and events being held.
This is a nice drive through the mountains and is great place for a day out.
#1) Lake Tahoe located in the mountains between Carson City and the California Border. Lake Tahoe is great in the summer or winter with ski resorts, casinos, shopping, boating, and other events held around the lake. There is RV and camp grounds, and is a very popular spot for locals and tourist alike.
