Reno Fun Train/Snow Train from Sacramento, California to Reno, Nevada

There's no easier way to get to Reno-Tahoe than aboard the Weekend Fun Train or Midweek Snow Train. There is no other train like it in America. The Fun Train is ideal for anyone looking to have a good time while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Donner Pass route one of the most historic and scenic rail lines in America.

From departure to arrival, traveling on the Fun Train was, well, fun! I boarded the train in Sacramento and was greeted by Fun Rick, a member of the Fun Train team. Fun Rick helped me feel welcome aboard and made finding my seat a breeze. After boarding the train, which was decorated with a Western theme, we promptly departed for Reno. The ride through the Sacramento valley and along Donner Pass was simply spectacular. The views were amazing and fresh snow was falling, making this ride to Reno extra special.

The entertainment on board was outstanding. It was like nothing Id ever seen before. Hundreds of people dancing to the live music of the FunAntics while winding through the mountains headed for Reno. This is surely something that youd never experience in a car or airplane!

If listening, not dancing, to live music is more your style, then the Piano Lounge Car is for you. With live entertainment in the Piano Car you can meet new friends, enjoy a drink from the cocktail bar and relax. The Fun Train also has strolling minstrels, musicians, and magicians to entertain you if the beautiful scenery is not enough.

When we arrived in Reno, the good times just got better. After exiting the train, passengers were greeted by a jazz band directing them to their chartered bus which would take them to their designated hotel. The simplicity and ease of this trip was truly amazing. Everything was taken care of and well thought out.

For approximately $300, depending on where youd like to stay, you will enjoy food, fun, entertainment, hotel accommodations and more. The price of the trip includes a roundtrip rail ticket from Emeryville, Martinez, Suisun, Sacramento or Roseville to Reno with reserved seat, two nights hotel accommodations, a Winners Book good for discounted meals, 50 percent off the show at Harrahs and more. You are also welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages on the train.

My experience on the Fun Train was memorable to say the least. I learned new dance moves, made new friends and had an outstanding time. If you are looking for a great time, hop aboard the Fun Train and come to Reno. You will not be disappointed.

With downtown Reno basically shuttered and the old casinos like Fitzgerald, Comstock, Flamingo, Nugget, Horseshoe, Harold's Club, Sundowner, etc. all gone there's not much attraction in Reno anymore.
