Welcoming Arch
Well it's still there, the city's iconic little arch that used to welcome you to downtown. Now downtown is not what it used to be with so many casinos closed. But if you walk a little to the west, you will find a lively bar and restaurant scene.

Reno!
Had to get a photo with this iconic landmark. Very cool to see at night but a little busy with traffic. Came back early in the morning (7.30am) and no one was out, had it all to myself. There was lots of street parking available on E Commercial Row. And it's short walk from here to the river front.

Reno symbol
Set in the very center of downtown Reno, this sign is a true symbol of Reno. It certainly looks better at night when lit up, but you should also visit it during the day. Many casinos and hotels around it, as well sketchy people.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reno Arch

Oct 2022

Reno Arch is one of the famous land mark in Reno city. It is spanning Virginia Street at the intersection with commercial row. It displays that Reno city is the biggest little city in the world.

Selfies are a must

July 2018 • Couples

This landmark is one not to be forgotten. Be sure to pull over into the cutout. Flasher on; one person watch cars and the other take the picture ( I do not recommend going into the middle of the street) but that’s where I got an incredible picture. Go at night it’s the best and Saturday late, you got tons of people that adds to the picture.

Bright Lights

Sign’s prettier at night when lights are all lit up. Plenty parking space in the area.
Good spot for tourist visiting Reno area.

Perfect Staging Area for Crawls

Oct 2019

Certainly worth seeing and definitely worth participating in the many crawls that begin at the Reno Arch. We have had so much fun at the Zombie Crawl which begins under the arch and in the Courtyard at Harrahs. Across the street is the wonderful Whitney Peak Hotel (no gambling and no smoking) which has a climbing wall where you can watch the climbers try and reach the top from standing at the arch. The Italian Festival also begins here with a bandstand and many booths up and down Virginia Street which is blocked off for the celebration. Just a perfect beginning for any event.

Nice photo spot

Oct 2019 • Solo

The arch is in the middle of the downturn Reno, which is a great photo spot when you are in town. And there is a quick stop place which you can take photo.

Love the new sign

Sept 2019

I was born in Reno and have seen many iterations of this sign but this is my favorite one! It's designed nicely with the red highlighting the information.
