Reno Arch & Virginia Street

A City Icon Over Virginia Street

The Reno Arch stretches across Virginia Street at the entrance to downtown, its curved steel frame studded with colorful neon tubing. This camera looks straight down the street from an elevated vantage, keeping the arch and the road beneath it in constant view.

“The Biggest Little City in the World”

First raised in 1926, the arch's famous slogan became Reno's unofficial motto, replacing an earlier design and outlasting several remodels over the decades. Its bold lettering and rows of bulbs make it one of the most photographed landmarks in Nevada.

Downtown Life Beneath the Sign

Below the arch, casino marquees, storefronts and sidewalks make up the pulse of downtown Reno, with pedestrians and vehicles constantly threading through this historic crossroads.
