Embark on the Reno Audio Tour: Cars, Cathedrals & Casinos—Downtown’s Dynamic Story

A cathedral’s bells echo across downtown as secrets simmer beneath neon lights and riverside casinos. Reno’s wild past is stitched into its skyline but most never see the real stories hiding in plain sight.

This self-guided audio tour transforms city streets into a living timeline. Move at your own pace and let each landmark uncover lost scandals, rebellions, and untold dramas most visitors miss.

Who risked everything for forbidden love within Saint Thomas Aquinas’ solemn walls? What silent deal at the Riverside Hotel changed the course of Nevada’s fortunes forever? Why did an elevator ride in Arlington Towers end so disastrously for a local legend?

Stride through shadow and sunlight as the city’s bold characters and buried secrets come to life all around you. Experience Reno’s dynamic energy in every step.

Let the bells ring. Begin the journey and see downtown’s true story unfold.
