Downtown fireworks, NYE street party and top casinos for new years eve 2023-2024 in Reno
Attracting visitors near and far, the Reno new years eve fireworks display continues to grow in scope each year. With a long lasting display lighting up the desert skies, this remote city puts on a great party that you don't want to miss.
When you look for things to do on New Years Eve in Nevada, then people automatically think of Las Vegas, and with good reason as the casino capital's famous strip has probably more fireworks and celebrity performers per square inch than anywhere else in the world. However, the county seat is still Reno, and this town is no slouch itself when it comes to throwing a grand scale new year party!
Now it seems to me that of you're in Nevada for new years and looking for somewhere to join the party then you're almost certainly headed for Vegas, but if you fancy something just a little less predictable, or maybe you've done the Vegas thing already, then Reno certainly looks like a pretty decent alternative, especially with the nearby Lake Tahoe to visit if you're also looking for some chillout time and more scenic diversions.
Downtown Fireworks
The major event in Reno for New Years Eve is the annual Downtown midnight countdown and fireworks display. The 13 minute display usually takes place from 3 different rooftops on Virginia Street, launching thousands of pyrotechnics skywards that can be viewed from right across the city landscape. The show will also be shown live on TV and online - see below for details in how to watch.
NYE Street Party
The fireworks are normally preceded by a street party that takes good advantage of the balmy Nevada winter weather to get everyone out and joining the party, so be sure to get there early!
The party starts at 10pm and lasts until around 1am, with the highlight obviously coming at midnight where the fireworks are launched from the roofs of the nearby casinos.
The main crowds tend to gather around the iconic Reno Arch and along Virginia Streeet to watch the show, although they will be visibile from further afield too if you prefer to avoid the main crowds.
Casino New Years Eve
There is a great range of events on at many of the casinos, including the Grand Sierra resort and casino. The city's other main casinos are normally also vying for business on what is one of the busiest nights of the year in this party town - particular favourite venues are the Peppermill Hotel Casino, the Eldorado Hotel, Atlantis and Casino and Silver Legacy Resort and Casino.
Restaurants
For dining options a lot of the most popular restaurants in town are those located in the big casinos, especially those with the big buffets, but there are a wide range of local an international choices too.
