We stay at the Grand Sierra. Nice RV park with full use of the pool which has a sandy beach and atmosphere. There's a go cart track and some other things for the younger set if you are traveling with them.
Virginia City is a worthwhile trip. Take the train ride. If you've never been to Lake Tahoe, that too is a must see. You can drive around the entire lake and stop at many places along the shore. We dropped a penny in the water and took a picture of it at least 30 feet down. The water is that clear. If you do go into South Lake Tahoe, stop at a Subway/MickyDs/whatever your thing is and get it to go. Take the ski lift at Heavenly Valley. It'll take you half way up the mountain and let you off. Have a leisurely lunch overlooking the beautiful lake, then get back on the lift and go all the way to the top. You overlook Nevada and California for miles. If you like to hike, all the ski trails are groomed for easy hiking at the top. There's also a lodge there. Lots more to do in the Tahoe area than there is in Reno.....Dennis
