Reno is home to casinos galore. Those tired of wrestling with the one-armed bandits can happily stroll around Lake Tahoe. During the summer, rent jet skis or a boat. The winter offers snow and skiing.
APPLE HILL

Falling leaves, warm cider, pumpkins and bubbling apple pies bursting at the seams (the main lure) make for the ultimate autumn experience. Thirty-seven apple ranches, 11 Christmas tree farms, four vineyards and the Jack Russell Brewing Co. dot the landscape near Placerville. For more information, call (916) 644-7692.
