They have wine charms for $1, if it's your first wine walk they'll give you one for free. They also sell other crafts at a reasonable price. The Brewery Arts changes their venue quarterly so there is always something new to look at and enjoy the talented artists work. They sell yummy candy from the case, all sorts of decadent delights. If you're in the area stop in and have a look around.

If…read moreyou are following, we will be home (in Reno) for a few more days and want to spend more time exploring our city and neighboring cities. This has popped up (among a few other events), so we decided to visit this first. Again, what a great find. So much art in the historic buildings surrounding the other buildings and throughout the town (murals!). I took very few pictures (can you believe that, lol), as I decided to drive versus walk on this very hot day. Ambiance - Two blocks...? Not just the old brewery, but all the adjoining buildings. And the lot across the street with the stage, see pictures. Lastly, the old church... is not a church any more, lol. Free outdoor summer concerts, see website. Theater, performance hall, exhibit hall, grand ballroom, education wing, etc. Classes, membership; see websites. Small parking lot, but other than the artists, we were the only guests here, lol. Well, the rest of the parking lot is currently being used for this event. Call or check their website for hours. Service - Everyone is so welcoming. Price - Free, thank you! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1975.

Maybe there is a parking lot that is more convenient, but it wasn't obvious for me so we used street parking. We did the birthday mini shoot and it was totally fabulous! We had Lauren and she is amazing!!! She made us feel comfortable and did so well with our baby. She was positive, upbeat, and just pleasant to be around. The studio is sooo cute. The vibe is great, the decor is awesome. There's a great selection of spots and props to take pictures with. They supplied the cake which was one less thing to worry about for myself. We even got to take it home and it was delicious. The pictures had an incredibly fast turn around time and are totally adorable. We also got a lot! We will be back!

That event featured an impressive turnout, especially considering that the Jewish population in the Carson Valley is considered by some to be a bit light. At the same time, I ran into someone I knew from the old Jewish Business Lunch (Walnut Creek), gave some tips to a couple who were new to the area, and was impressed that several politicos showed up. The Plaza itself is modest, yet spacious and comfortable. And that little bit of light in a world with more darkness lately was a welcome respite. Many thanks to Rabbi Sputz and Chabad for putting on this very socially pleasing event, with a full dose of Ruach.

Adj: mid range hotel with kitchen and full size fridge…read more On vacation here, we decided to stay here one night on a Saturday. North and South Tahoe were really booked or ridiculously expensive in the summer so Carson City is a good alternative and not too far esp if you're planning to go to Reno anyways. We arrived early evening and checked in quite quickly. We got a 2 queen bed suite with a kitchen that's bigger than a kitchenette but obviously not a full sized kitchen but the fridge was full sized which was nice. Beds were firm but not too hard, room was clean but not immaculate, although I didn't look super closely at the corners and behind closet doors etc. Bathroom was clean and shower water pressure was good. After a good night's sleep we were ready for breakfast. Unfortunately, there was NO hot breakfast on that Sunday morning which was weird and no warm (even microwaved sandwiches would've been nice) alternatives nor explanation was given. So there was salad, cold hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, breads and condiments, bacon bits, cereal and fruits and unpackaged yogurt. Overall, it was a pretty nice hotel. We didn't get to swim in their pool, but in the back they did have a decent sized pool, a spa with hot jets that were strong (we dipped our feet into it), and a nice seating area with a gazebo and some grassy area for furry friends and children. I can see us staying here again.

Upon our arrival, there was plenty of parking both in front of the casino, and in an adjoined parking garage. The exterior of the casino was clean and appeared quite safe. This was an easy casino to access both from downtown Carson City and it was easy to get back on the main highway. While all of the Reno/Carson City casinos seemed pretty similar to me, I appreciated this one due to the non-smoking area. During my four days in the area, I experienced many casinos, and I couldn't get away from the smoke smell in most of them. In this casino, there is a well-ventilated non-smoking area just to the right side of the front door. I popped in there and would have felt comfortable for a good period of time without being bothered by smoke. For those who enjoy gambling and may be affected by smoke, I highly recommend that you visit Fandango and see if you enjoy the experience as much as I did.

CHANTAE WAS A BLESSING. From my first call to checkout she was accommodating, empathetic and so pleasant to deal with. Management and the company would benefit from ensuring she sticks with them. Chantae is knowledgeable, personable, understanding, and quick. Even when I was in the lobby and she was assisting others on the phone, she provided great customer service and went above and beyond with resolving the other customers question and provided additional resources to them when they needed assistance with outside booking companies. Chantae, if you're reading this, with all of the stress with our emergency, your kindness was soooo needed and appreciated. I'm leaving this everywhere! Thank you! The rooms were clean and well stocked. Housekeeping and the front desk staff were super friendly and attentive. When we left the girl from housekeeping ran downstairs to give my husband's wallet her forgot. My kids enjoyed the pool.

We knew that indoor soccer is aggressive as we have an older daughter who played for several years in a different state. The referees where we used to play may have missed some calls, however never was a player left on the field when they were down and injured. Tonight my son was shoved by a straight arm push into the boards. No call was made even when my son did not get up. The parents, coach and players were all screaming at the referee that a player was down and still the referee ignored the fact that a player was not getting up. When the opposing team's goal keeper finally got the referee's attention, the referee finally stopped the play to check on the player. When my son still was not able to get up unassisted, our coach was called over to help him off the field. This athletic center was ill equipped to handle injuries even though this is a contact sport. Their first aid kit did not contain ice packs to provide basic first aid. This is not the first occurrence with poor game management and refereeing by the assigned official. Having been involved with soccer for many years and having a husband who is a certified referee this brings up the question of what level of proficiency the officials associated with this establishment actually possess?
