If your theme song is "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," then grab a hot dog and a soda and head to your seat in the stands at Cashman Field to take in a great game of minor league baseball with the Las Vegas 51s. Great family fun, theme nights, giveaways, and of course, some great sports action on the diamond are to be expected as the team puts forth its best effort to have a top game.
Nothing starts a great, thought-provoking conversation like a great stage play. And you and your date can catch some great local, live theater at Reno's Bruka Theatre.

So grab your tickets, find your seats and hold your date's hand through a romantic evening featuring accomplished local theater.
More of nature's wondrous creatures are on display at the Sierra Safari Zoo. Open from April to the first day of November, this surprisingly vivid collection of some of the world's most amazing animals offers you a chance to reach out and touch, feed and play with these exotic creatures. There are more than two hundred animals to see including wallabys, big cats, monkeys, deer and zebras.
The Cactus Creek Southwestern Steakhouse is worth the effort it takes to find it, although you might have passed it or may be close to it without even realizing it! The restaurant is in the Bonanza Casino just north of downtown, and both the casino and eatery are local favorites that tourists may not find right away. The steaks are plentiful slabs of beef, and the side dishes are just as delectable. Add in great service, no-hassle parking and a usually short wait for a table and you've found a real jewel of a restaurant.
