ParkRat’s Paradise: Sumidas Go To Reno - We received an offer from Caesars Rewards that was too good to pass on! A free trip to Reno, Nevada airfare from Honolulu INCLUDED!

It was our first trip there and in trying to plan our trip we asked others about their experiences and not a whole lot of our friends and family had been to Reno. At least not in recent years. And so we figured we would put together a recap of our trip (link in bio).

If you were wondering if Reno is a good alternative to Vegas then this is one couple’s opinion. Well not this this because this post was just a taste. You have to go to the website to see the recap. 😬😆

@melissa808 - not sure if this is what you were looking for but it is what it is.

Mahalo!

NOTE: While this trip was technically paid for by Caesars Rewards we don’t consider this a “sponsored” trip.
