This was a very last minute trip. My cousin called on Fri night and asked if we want to tag along with them and my parent said "Yes". So, here we go, off to Reno after 19 years?
It's funny to see Reno after so many years. It sure had changed a lot, but it's nothing compared to the other "big" city in the same state (especially someone who just came back from there 6 days ago).
1. The crowd is so different. The top 3 foreign language that I heard the most in Vegas are Mandarin, Korean, and Cantonese. It's not just happened to where I went, they were just everywhere on the strip day and night. Whereas the top language that I heard in Reno is Spanish. The only time that I heard Chinese or Filipino was at the casino while I was gambling.
2. The "night". Vegas seems to be a city that is never sleep, in and out. You can see people on the street even in late night. The main street seems to be "dead" during the night in Reno. Not sure if it's because of the weather, or just there are not much action on the main street.
3. The buffet pricing. The best buffet in Reno ranged from $9 - $28 depending on the day and time. Whereas, I'm so used to seeing $25-50 buffet. The 45 mins waiting line is nothing to me since I just had experienced 3 hours wait days ago.
Anyways, we got to explored the "main" street in Reno in the afternoon and found that they had an ice skating ring by the City Hall. The ring is also by the Truckee River. Lots of teens and kids in the ring. The price doesn't look too bad.

Anyhow, the view of snowy mountain top along the way makes the trip more variable. It really makes it feels like a "vacation" because I'm out of my niche. It also makes me feel like I'm on a FO trip, heading to some country side.
