Inhaltsangabe

This completely revised and updated edition of A Short History of Reno provides an entertaining and informative account of Reno&;s remarkably colorful history. Richard Moreno discusses Reno&;s efforts, from its early beginnings in the 1850s to the present day, to reinvent itself as a recreation, entertainment, education, and technology hub. Moreno looks at the gamblers, casino builders, and performers who helped create the world-famous gaming industry, and he considers the celebrities who came to end unhappy marriages back when Reno was &;the divorce capital of the world.&;

Moreno brings the city&;s history up-to-date with coverage of the businesspeople and civic leaders who helped make Reno an attraction that still lures millions of visitors each year. Today&;s travelers and residents explore Reno&;s flamboyant heart and scenic wonders, topics the author examines in an accessible and lively fashion.
