Special Needs
America’s Adventure Place
Also known as the “biggest little
city in the world,” Reno is a
paradise for people who enjoy
the outdoors as well as for
those who hanker to play a few
hands of black jack or a few rolls
of quarters at the slot machines.
Located 4,400 feet above sea
level, Reno is likely to welcome HPBExpo with sunny days
and little precipitation. If you’re interested in skiing or
snowboarding, you find all the snow
you need at more than two dozen ski
resorts in the nearby Lake Tahoe area.
In Reno proper, you can choose
from plenty of excellent restaurants,
a delightful urban park, art museums,
and entertainment of all kinds. RenoTahoe International Airport is only
10 minutes from downtown.
For more information on events
taking place in Reno before, during, and after HPBExpo,
visit www.visitrenotahoe.com
Rentals can be ordered
from Scootaround at
http://www.scootaround.com/rentals/
h/hpba or by
calling (888)
441-7575.
Reservations made in advance
are preferred. On-site availability
is limited.

Reno’s first-class accommodations include such amenities as fine
dining establishments, spas, salons, and entertainment—everything
you would expect to find in “America’s Adventure Place.”
