Reno: Gangs and Gamblers Haunted Walking Tour – Reno, Nevada

EXPERIENCE

Prepare for a spooky and fascinating walking tour through Reno’s dark past for a night of gruesome tales and spine-chilling ghost hunts. With an expert guide, learn the city’s villainous history and be introduced to notorious figures from history.

Opulent casinos and neon lights do little to hide the dark side of Reno’s past. Gunfights, prostitution, and countless murders have made their mark on the city, leaving behind a crowd of restless spirits with harrowing and tragic stories to tell.

Investigate the disappearance of Roy Frisch, a bank cashier who knew too much about the mob’s shady deals. Is his body at the bottom of an abandoned mineshaft, or did disappear to protect his family? No one knows, but people in his former home report hearing footsteps on the porch late at night.

If Roy doesn’t greet you, perhaps the spirits of the Mapes Hotel will. Their vengeful energy is tied to three famous deaths, will you be next?

Explore Reno’s red light district, a key area in the city’s criminal past and a regular hangout spot of mobsters and gangsters throughout history.

All tours meet outside of Lake Mansion, 250 Court Street, Reno, NV 89501 across from Great Basin Community Food Co-Op. Your guide will be wearing a US Ghost Adventures t-shirt and carrying a lantern. Please arrive 15 minutes before your tour start time.
