Had to steal Tony's idea... This city is barely brought up on the threads! Population: 175,000. ;)
Quainte little city center/skyline.

Tony, feel free to post your great pics as well. I don't want to steal them. :)

ah nice. and the geographical backround adds to it.

7/10

2 for the size/pop. and + 6 for pbeing in the desert!! = 8/10

a big skyline for a small population 5.5

The mid-rise structures are colorful @ night and in the twighlight. In the day light many of the buildings look 70s and 80s (not always a bad thing). I particularly like the glass cladded mid-rise with the Cal-Neva neon and the flag mast on top.

Even though Australia's Adelaide has a taller skyline than Reno, they are very similar.

FYI Pics. of Adelaide, for comparative reasons:

Rating for Reno: 6.5

pretty cool at night. I've never been to Reno. But i heard that it's just like 2nd Las Vegas..right?

a 7/10 is fair.. beautiful, i like it a lot for it's size.

Wow! Beautifull pic! (the fifth one in this thread)

Skyline: 6/10

a big ball,sore eyes for that city

Reno just doesn't impress me at all. I never heave liked the cities that are only built up for tourists and guests. That includes beach skylines with condos. I prefer the reflective glass corporate skylines. The ball is a nice contrast from the boxes however. The mountains offer something to look at as well. 6.5/10 for not being spread out.

But the population is a lot different
Reno: 175000
Adelaide: about 1-1.2 million

I guess half of the city buildings are casinos and hotels
Great skyline for this small city 9/10

Ver suprising! 6.5

Little height, but it's a small city so I'll let it slide.

I give it a 6.5/10 because it kicks Las Vegas's ass.

Not a bad skyline for such a tiny population. 6.5

6/10 It's not that good in person.

6.5/10



On the average.

0/10

Reno is a non-city... it's Las Vegas on a small scale. Boo.

no building of than 20 plants, quite more dense for an American small city, 6,5/10

6/10
very nice !

9/10.....and yes, I'm being biased cus' I live here... Its always reminded me of emerald city from the "wizard of oz".

I love the building in Reno along i-80 that is clad is HOT GOLD GLASS. Super 70's glam. I like Reno, and had good times when we would fly into Reno and stay a few days before trekking to southern Oregon. 7/10

What a nice little skyline for a small background though without the desert background this would have been about a 4

7 :)

5.0/10 - I've driven through Reno a million times on my way to California. The skyline is not very impressive. And the way it's lit up at night is tacky. However, there is some marginal density that's worth a 5.0

Though I can't get the pics here to show up for me, I've seen others on another forum. Reno is a place that does tacky right. That's hard to do, and in recognition of that fact, I give it a 7.

I have been there and well ... sorry... but I didn't like it. Ugly and like Vegas in small. I don't want to hurt any feelings

i don't really like the look of the "skyline" but hey, for the size of the city, it's an excellent start! :)

7/10:)

Nice mini-Las Vegas skyline for a small city!

Not very impressive... 6/10

Very beauty skyline for a city of its size in a nice landscape. Cann't tell more. :)

8/10!

hmmm, ok 4.5/10

6.5/10 Interesting.

Reno is awesome; I'll take it over Vegas anyday.

8/10- very green and nice quality buildings, but i think it can be more developed.

Kinda like it. 7.5/10.

After reading the whole thread, the only pics I've seen r of Perth. :sleepy:

Yay. The Biggest Little City On Earth! Wonderful. 9/10

8/10

I like Reno. I'm actually considering moving there. It's a fun town and there is plenty of room for growth. It could use some more high rises and it looks like some are in progress. I believe it needs an iconic type building. The Silver Legacy's dome is great but I think it needs more. I gave it 8/10. Coperate office towers tend to be a bit bland so with a fun city like this it needs to go in a different direction.

5/10

Not that bad, 6/10

ok, 6.5/10

7/10, great skyline for its size

9/10, although I am very biased. I plan on eventually moving there in a year or so. Here are some more skyline pics, remember it is growing very quickly, it is now about 220k people:

I agree that they need an iconic building. Here is the one with the best chance of being built. The Waterfront Towers, condos:

They would become the tallest towers in Reno.

Wow, very nice. I'm impressed.

For it's location and small population, I give it a 9.5/10.
