Entertainment

Gaming is a Nevada staple and you’ll find it here in spades. Classic casinos host live concerts throughout the week, plus dig a little deeper and uncover spots charged with other forms of after hour entertainment. Local eateries and bars frequently feature live music or comedy. Or, checkout the stunning outdoor event venue boasting big names like Clint Black, Michel McDonald, Tanya Tucker, Pat Benatar, and Kenny G. Add magical sunsets and wide open starry skies and you’ve just launched your night Carson Valley style.

Genoa Bar

A must see if you visit the oldest settlement in Nevada. Stopped in for a draft and wasn’t disappointed. The other patrons were pleasant and welcoming.
