The legendary Bill Cosby, who has given us “The Cosby Show,” “Fat Albert,” “I Spy,” and hundreds of hours of unforgettable stand-up comedy returns to Silver Legacy’s Grande Exposition Hall for two performances. Cosby’s humor, which examines people’s roles as parents, children, family members, and men and women, is heartwarming and engages people from many walks of life. Because of his universal appeal, Cosby has become the indisputable best-selling comedian of all time after four decades in entertainment.

 THE ORIGINAL AND STILL THE BEST!
Join us every third Saturday of the month from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm when the Riverwalk Merchants Association hosts the popular Wine Walk (the original, and still the best!) along the Truckee River and neighboring streets in downtown Reno.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Visit any of the participating Riverwalk District merchants (listed here) on WIne Walk day to get a map of Wine Walk merchants.
Go to the participating merchant of your choice, and, for a $20 wine-tasting fee and valid photo ID, you’ll receive a wine glass and an ID bracelet that allows you to sample wine at any participating merchant.
Strollers and pets are not advised because of the large crowds.
Parking is available at one of the public lots indicated on our parking map.
Enjoy a responsible taste of the Riverwalk District… do the Wine Walk!

 The Whitney Myer Band is a family affair, with vocalist Whitney Myer backed by father Scott Myer on guitar and uncle Fred Myer on drums. Bassist Gia Torcaso - a premier player in Reno, Nevada's fertile music scene - rounds out the ambitious quartet.
Whitney has become an energetic stage and recording veteran boasting a well-developed and polished contralto that has reminded critics of the likes of Erykah Badu and Janis Joplin.
The Whitney Myer Band is based out of Reno, Nevada and has been performing a rigorous tour schedule up & down the West Coast for the past several years. The band is renowned for its live shows that unfailingly deliver intensity and top-quality musicianship - highlighted not only by the brothers' combined veteran musicianship but also Whitney's superb vocal chops and her infectious, audience-engaging stage presence.
The elevated VIP area features prime sightlines and sound quality on the house left side, plus first-come booth seating.
