Reno Arch
- Landmark
- Regional draw
- Reno
The Reno Arch spans Virginia Street near Commercial Row with the city's familiar Biggest Little City message.
This is the modern downtown arch, distinct from the earlier arch preserved on Lake Street. Its scale, lights, and street setting make it a recognizable point for understanding Reno's public image and downtown landscape.
View and photograph the arch from designated pedestrian areas, keeping clear of traffic and following signals. Check any current street or event restrictions, and consider how daylight and evening lighting change the appearance without assuming the road is closed to vehicles.
