The Centerpoint of

Your Nevada Experience

The majestic Lake Tahoe, the birght lights of Reno, historic Virginia City, and the sand dunes of Fallon all make the perfect Day Trips from Carson City.

Carson City

Take a Day Trip to Tahoe, Reno, Fallon, or Virginia City from Carson. And, when you're back, enjoy Carson's array of outdoor adventures, fine restaurants, golf courses, historical attractions, museums, and a plethora of events and entertainment.

Lake Tahoe

Surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, this emerald beauty boasts miles of sandy beaches and is the perfect location for summer and winter sports. Lake Tahoe offers many world-class ski resorts, gaming opportunities and an abundance of year-round, outdoor activities.

Carson Valley

Carson Valley is made up of four communities: Gardnerville, Genoa, Minden and Topaz Lake, showcasing the Great American West. History lovers will enjoy visiting Genoa, considered the oldest permanent settlement in Nevada (established in 1851), and is home to the oldest drinking parlor in the state.

Virginia City

Historic Virginia City offers a unique look into the past. Ride the V&T Railroad along the same routes travelers took more than 100 years ago to explore mansions, mines, museums, Old West-style saloons and live entertainment.

Reno

Head to downtown Reno to view the famous arch dubbing the city as the “Biggest Little City in the World”. Take a walk along the Truckee River, enjoy Burning Man artwork, or head into the casinos to play some games.

Fallon

Fallon has a quaint downtown, blending historic buildings, charming boutiques, and to-be-discovered culinary jewels, but you can get your heart pumping riding their dirt track, raceway, or soaring over the sand dunes.
