One excellent way to see the Reno & Lake Tahoe area is to take advantage of the many limousines available through the many companies in Reno or Lake Tahoe.
Most cars are fully equipped and have amenities including a full liquor bar.
One of the biggest advantages is that someone else drives while you take in the scenery without fear of driving off the road and you can request stops along your selected routes--all the while sipping your favorite libations without the risk of driving yourself.
Rates run about $75.00 U.S. per hour and drivers are usually tipped 15-20%.

Scattered around the downtown area are now signs that tell you where things are located that may be of interest to a tourist. These signs list Museums and such and their distance from that point. On the back of the signs is a city street map pinpointing where you are. I thought that theae were very handy to come across and I halfway know my way around town! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

In Chinatown and other locations, I have heard that you can hop on a bus in San Francisco on Friday after work to head to Reno and come back on Sunday in time for work on Sunday. Certainly do encourage weekend gambling addiction here - work hard in San Francisco for a chance of jack pot in Reno over the weekend.
We regularly drive from San Francisco to Reno the fast moving interstate I-80. Driving back on Sunday night can be challenging if you are tired as the traffic is heavy and it is fast downhill. So get plenty of rest if you are driving, if not take the bus instead of drive.
Another fun way is to use Highway 50 and stopover in Lake Tahoe. The view during the winter is incredible with tall pines and heavy white snow all around the blue lake and along the highway. Theme: Other

Many options are available for getting to Reno. Most people drive. A high percentage of those traverse Highway 80 from California. A friend once described Highway 80 as the only mountain highway that isn't a mountain highway. This is true to a point, as it is a well-maintained four-lane highway that crosses Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is a major route. However, in the winter driving conditions can deteriorate quickly when chains are required. It might take an additional several house to cross the pass in a snowstorm. Heavy snow and even avalanches can close the highway altogether. It is best to check the road conditions before crossing the pass.
From San Francisco one should allocate about four and a half hours for the trip, and from Sacramento one should allocate about 2 and a half hours for the trip. This schedule would include one short stop for food or gas. Auburn, Forest Hills, and Colfax present the best bets for services before crossing the mountains. Theme: Car/Motor Home

I travel from England via Schipol Airport to San Francisco, and get an internal flight from there.
I have found that KLM have the best fares, try to book about 8 or 9 months in advance to get the best 'V Class' fares (a V Class return last May cost just 230 pounds sterling!) needless to say I just missed that fare, and got a Q Class for 330! still a bargain when you think of the diatance! Theres a shuttle service from SFO to Reno, so you could really just turn up and take a chance on the next flight.. One really cool thing...on the Northwest Airlines shuttle, you can listen in to the pilot and control towers through headphones, all through the flight. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

You can fly into the local airport, or drive, or take a bus, or ride a motorcycle.
Reno has a good bus system and taxi services, most of the hotels have shuttles to the airport and major attractions Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

I recommend flying into Reno. Coming into Reno at dusk is the best view you can find. (make sure to have a window seat.) The lights of Reno are beautiful.
While in Reno, I found the tour busses and trips to be the most informative transportation. Most narrate as you travel to and from the sites, giving you a more 'in-depth' understanding. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

For a classic experience, you can't beat travel from the San Francisco Bay Area to Reno and back by Private Railroad Passenger Car! You'll experience the best of vintage rail travel just like the rich and famous. All of your needs aboard are met by uniformed staff in the traditions of the famed Pullman Company. Enjoy a classic cocktail as the miles roll by or enjoy a sit-down meal served on vintage china and linen in railroad tradition. Surprisingly affordable, a group of 16 can travel in this elegant style. Travel to Reno one day, spend the evening enjoying Nevada style entertainment and travel back to the Bay Area the next day. Check out the web page for more info!

Reno's Citifare bus system runs 24 hours a day for only $1.25 a ride. Taxi's are also plentiful. Most of downtown Reno is in easy walking distance from all of the major hotels! Theme: Train
