Reno, Nevada is nicknamed the 'The Biggest Little City in the World' due to its western hospitality, restaurants, live stage productions, big name entertainers, history, culture, and 24-hour gambling. Outdoor recreation includes golf and skiing, and golfers can choose from courses in lake, desert, and mountain terrains. Lake Tahoe, less than 60 miles from Reno, has the most ski resorts in North America. Nevada's liberal tax laws, coupled with Reno's free port status and central location, combine to make this area a significant regional warehouse and distribution center.
