A
Fitzgerald’s
South across the train trench, rub a Blarney Stone for good luck before heading inside Fitzgerald’s, with its dopey ‘lucky leprechaun’ theme and the cheapest buffet in town. It’s near the landmark Reno Arch, built in the 1920s, which proclaims Reno the ‘Biggest Little City in the World.’

Fleischmann Planetarium
The Fleischmann Planetarium on the University of Nevada campus does the usual planetarium-y things: simulations of the night sky and assorted astronomical phenomena are projected onto a dome-like screen, plus there's gee-whizz movies shown on a wraparound screen. The building itself is most unusual, looking not unlike a giant potato chip.

Reno Arch
Near Fitzgerald's, check out the landmark Reno Arch, built in 1926 to commemorate the completion of the first transcontinental highway in North America. The original has since been replaced twice (the last time in 1987) but still proclaims Reno as being the 'Biggest Little City in the World.'
