​This is a photographer’s dream scene – colorful, giant, lighted balloons against a backdrop of predawn darkness.  Another one that is nearly in our backyard.  Reno is just a 2-hour drive.

​

This is an early morning event.  You will need to arrive at the park well before dawn. 

 

After the launch, there are many vendor tents available for eating & shopping.

​

Sometimes you have to suffer a bit to get one of your “bucket list” adventures! If you are staying another night, check out the shows/entertainment at the casinos. 

 

You may also want to stay over for the Saturday morning Balloon events.
