| | | | | Lake Tahoe: Encyclopedia II - California - Sports California's large population has helped to make it home to many professional sports teams, including fifteen major professional sports league franchises, far more than any other state. However, since the re-location of the Los Angeles Raiders and Los Angeles Rams in the 1990s, it could be argued that no one city is able to lay claim to a "Grand Slam" (i.e. having a team in each of the four leagues) unless Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose are counted as being in a single metropolitan area.

| | | | | Lake Tahoe: Encyclopedia II - Reno Nevada - Downtown Revitalization The closure of many downtown casinos has sparked a surprising movement to turn these empty buildings into condominiums. Out-of-state developers have purchased the Comstock and the Sundowner, amongst others, in hopes of turning them into upscale condos. In addition to converting old properties, these developers are building new structures on once-vacant lots.
The Reno Trench Project (ReTRAC) hopes to solve noise pollution and traffic congestion on Virginia Street by lowering the train tracks below the street level. This would also add to the city's efforts to make the downtown area friendlier to t ...

| | | | | Lake Tahoe: Encyclopedia II - Reno Nevada - Gaming Industry At one time, Reno was the gambling capital of the world. There are several reasons for the decline of tourism in the area, among them the fast rise of Las Vegas, the buying-out of Reno Air by American Airlines and the increase of Indian gaming in California. These developments have shown little impact on Las Vegas, but Northern Nevada has experienced a noticeable drop in business. Smaller casinos such as the Comstock and the Sundowner closed, while the larger casinos experience slow days during the week, epecially during the Winter. Only during weekends, holidays and specia ...
