I vote for Reno. Bout a three hour drive for me. Also my Dad lives just 90 miles from there, where I grew up. There's an infinate number of places to shoot within a short drive from Reno. Bout the same as Vegas as far as the food, night life, etc. But at this time of the year, being at the 4,000 foot level, it is a whole lot COOLER!
Want to do a little jack rabbit shootin? There's a ton of them out in the desert. In fact a few years back the farmers traped a few of them and taged them, then let them go. Set a bounty on the tages. They ranged from $10 to a couple of $500 rabbits. This was done to get rid of the over population.
Shrike9: If heading up that way there are a few sites you just have to see... Number one is Virginia City and don't forget to take a mine tour. Wonderful this time of the year, 40 degrees down there. Number two is the Cat house in Carson City... Was there before the turn of the century.. one of the first buildings in Carson City. The historical society rehibilitated it about 30 years ago and turned it into a museum. If your married I would suggest staying away from mustang. Third would be the old mint in Carson City. The number and quality of the coins on display there are amazing. Fourth would be the mansion between Carson City and Reno (forgot it's name). It was built in the mid 1880's. Also Reno has quite a few historical sites.
