Go there - it's a great little city!
Con
Not much to do when compared to Lake Tahoe or even Reno
In a nutshell
It is nice to drive throiugh but not much to do
Jim_Eliason Says: This museum is housed in a former US mint building and is really the one reason to go out of your way to visit Carson City. It has excellent displays on the Mint's history and the history of silver mining in Nevada.
Jim_Eliason Says: Built in 1908, this mansion is amazingly accessible and fits in perfectly with the small town feel of Carson City. Instead of high fences and security guards, its just another house (albiet a pretty big one) in a residential neighborhood.
bpwarne Says: There is one huge outdoor pool and a rather large round hot tub shaped pool . Inside there are perhaps 10 private mini spa rooms. These are rented for two hour intervals for $15/person list rate and also include use of the outdoor pools.Discounts are available, including...
Jim_Eliason Says: This Museum preserves the heritage of the Virginia and Truckee (V&T) railway line that was used to ship ore from Virginia City on to Reno where it met the main train lines. During the summer months rides are availble from Carson to Virginia City on some of the historic...
Nevada State Capital and other govt buildings
Jim_Eliason Says: Nevada's state capitol and its other government building are the major structures in Carson city. In fact it would be just a typical american small town if not for these buildings. The capitol building was built in 1870.
jasperdo Says: I think this is the most impressive building architecturally in Carson City. It is currently known as the Paul Laxalt State Building. But, when it was first built in 1891, it was the Post Office and Federal Building. It functioned as the Post Office for Carson City until...
jasperdo Says: The casinos in Carson City are vastly different from the mega resorts you find on the Las Vegas Strip. They are smaller, more "Mom and Pop" type places. All of them cater more to the locals than to tourists. Although there's no need to worry...they'll take your money just as...

Pho Country: Vietnamese Fast Food
Basaic Says: Pho is a type of Rice Noodle Soup. This is basically a fast food restaurant with a décor of fast food chain crossed with Asia. The food seemed fresher though. This is a good choice if you want something different and are in a hurry. I enjoyed the Pho.
Floral Vineyard & Khristophers Cafe: Great Italian Food in Carson City
bpwarne Says: Carson City's dining possibilities have never come close to overwhelming me in the 20 some years I have lived in the area. So I was pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon Khristopher's Cafe a couple years ago. We have eaten here about a dozen times. The food has always...

Cactus Joe's: what Else is there to Do?
Geoff_Wright Says: I've never been inside a Casino, but if you are staying overnight, why not visit Cactus Joe's? Looks to be a nice sort of establishment, and who knows, you may just win something, haha.The red brick building is the Tourism Office.
Transfers from Reno to Carson (and Douglas)
DSwede Says: If you do not need a rental car for your visit, you can easily get to Carson City, Douglas County and Reno.The "Pride" is a cheap bus that gets you to/from the airport, Reno, Carson, and Douglas County. http://www.rtcwashoe.com/transportation/pride/Once you are in Carson...
Celebratory Beers with Bob and Duey
zrim Says: After the hole in one, we had to at least celebrate the feat with a beer at the golf course. So we flagged down the cart girl and bought a few beers to toast my good fortune. According to Golf Digest the odds of getting a hole in one in any given round is 5,000 to 1....
The best day, ok second best day, of my life
zrim Says: I scored my only hole in one at this golf course in Carson City in 2002. I have no idea what the names of these two guys are, but they were playing in our foursome and were (are) autoworkers from Oklahoma City.The hole is a 156 yard par 3. I used a pitching wedge for my...
Basaic Says: Carson City is still desert and the weather can change quickly and dramatically. While I was visiting it was fairly warm; then they predicted snow overnight. The snowfall did not quite get to the elevation of Carson City but was rather heavy slightly higher. You need to keep...
jasperdo Says: Virginia City should be on everyone's must see list when visiting Northern Nevada. Yes, it caters to tourists, and you'll find hordes of them strolling the boardwalk in the summer. But don't let that stop you. There's a reason it's overrun by tourists. Virginia City is one...
jasperdo Says: There is a long running dispute over which is the oldest town in Nevada, Genoa or Dayton. This has spilled over into The Oldest Bar in Nevada dispute. I tend to go with Genoa, but don't tell the people in Dayton I said that.Genoa was originally called Mormon Station, and was...
Helpfulness
Carson City advertises itself as home to the "Divine Nine" Nine golf courses in this little town is fairly impressive. A few of the courses really are divine (like Genoa Lakes) but some are very ordinary (like Silver Oaks) and some are gimmicky (like this one Sunridge). But golf is golf and any golf beats a day at the office.

Geoff_Wright Says: This Gothic Revival church was built at a cost of $5,500 from 1867 to 1868, five years after the parish was organized. The first service was held in the church on August 9, 1868, although it was not consecrated until June 1870. The rectory, which stands to the south of the...
Geoff_Wright Says: Strolling around the historic area, (was it Curry Street?), I came across the Old Globe Saloon. It certainly looked old from the outside, and, on entering, it was just as old on the inside too! As I was driving, I asked the landlord for a coffee. It may have been my English...

I'm afraid that this page will be devoted almost exclsuively to golf. I have found that the VT crowd are not avid golfers, so if it is not your cup of tea, please feel free to move on. I wont hold it...
For many years, Carson City was the answer to a trivia question: What is the Smallest State Capital in the United States? But with a population edging towards 60,000, it can no longer make that claim....
Carson City must be one of the smallest capital city's in the US. Its real distinguishing feature is the Nevada government buildings and few associated museums beyond that it could be any small town...
