Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry, Reno is the county seat and largest city of Washoe County and sits in the High Eastern Sierra foothills, in the Truckee River valley, on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. The Reno metro area (along with the neighboring city Sparks) occupies a valley colloquially known as the Truckee Meadows, which because of large-scale investments from Greater Seattle and San Francisco Bay Area companies such as Amazon, Tesla, Panasonic, Microsoft, Apple, and Google has become a new major technology center in the United States.
The city is named after Civil War Union Major General Jesse L. Reno, who was killed in action during the American Civil War at the Battle of South Mountain, on Fox's Gap.
Reno is part of the Reno–Sparks metropolitan area, the second-most populous metropolitan area in Nevada after the Las Vegas Valley. Known as Greater Reno, it includes Washoe, Storey, Lyon Counties, the independent city and state capital, Carson City, as well as parts of Placer and Nevada Counties in California.

- Silver Star Hotel and Casino
- The Silver Star Hotel and Casino was a hotel and casino located in Reno, Nevada. Following the fall of humanity after the June 3rd, 2004 nuclear disaster, the Silver Star became one of the last sanctuaries for human defense against the hordes of undead. Survivors Tom Bennett, Cindy Ramsey and Tori staged their final showdown here. As the zombies began to scale the walls of the hotel however, Tori betrayed Tom and Cindy and locked them in the casino vault. She then ran outside where she met her final fate. A zombie named Spaudling detonated a bomb that brought the whole building down, as well as several surrounding structures.
