Reno is the Biggest Little City in the World — a casino resort town on the Nevada high desert that has been diversifying since the 2010s, when the Burning Man crowd and the tech spillover from San Francisco turned the Midtown district into a genuinely creative neighbourhood. The Truckee River runs through downtown. Lake Tahoe is 45 minutes away.
