Three Hotels: Reno’s Historic Lodging: A Retrospective
Get to know three iconic Reno hotels—The Riverside, El Cortez, and the Mapes— that contributed to Reno’s reputation as the Biggest Little City in the World. Learn their fascinating histories and how the two that still exist today now serve an entirely different purpose. If you love Reno history, don't miss this talk!

Learn about these historic hotels with guest speaker Debbie Hinman, Reno historian, writer, and editor for Historic Preservation Society Footprints. Debbie has been one of our Artown speakers to talk about Reno history for the past four years!
