Top Reasons to Stay at John Ascuaga’s Nugget

• At the 24-hour, onsite casino, players try their hands at specialty table games, including blackjack, roulette, and craps, as well as poker and slots.

Reno: Casino City with Arts and Outdoor Adventure

The town of Sparks is located just east of Reno, situated at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. In summer, Sparks’s downtown (known as Victorian Square) hosts a variety of events, including farmers’ markets, a rib cook-off, and Hot August Nights, a monthlong celebration of retro cars and ’50s and ’60s rock ‘n’ roll. Head down to the Sparks Marina to swim, boat, fish, scuba dive, or picnic along the 80-acre body of water.

Nearby, Reno lives up to its billing as “The Biggest Little City in the World" thanks to its flashy casinos, cultural centers, and restaurants worthy of a much larger metropolis, all packed together on Virginia Street. If you need a break from courting Lady Luck at the big gaming palaces such as Circus Circus and Harrah's (which was born here), head to the Truckee River Arts District to explore the Nevada Museum of Art and the National Automobile Museum. Because of its location at the foot of the Sierra Nevada and just east of Tahoe National Forest, the city also puts visitors within reach of rushing rivers and high mountain ranges for hiking, rafting, and gold-rush reenacting.

Secluded, Four Diamond–Rated Boutique Resort in California Wine Country

Stevenswood Spa Resort is hidden deep within a redwood forest on a sprawling 12-acre estate along the Mendocino Coast. The towering trees establish a sense of tranquility, adding a nice counterpoint to the bed and breakfast's modern architecture. There is no cell-phone service and not a traffic light in sight, encouraging guests to curl up and read books or lounge in one of the mineral-infused spas tucked into the woods. Amid this secluded setting, Stevenswood Spa Resort boasts a Zagat-rated restaurant and an eco-friendly spa—luxuries that have earned it the AAA Four Diamond Award for the past 21 years.

Stevenswood’s spacious, contemporary suites have plasma TVs and wood-burning fireplaces. When you want to see the great outdoor scenery, simply follow the nearby trail—it leads right to the ocean. Back at the resort, you can unwind in Indigo Eco-Spa’s whirlpools or infrared sauna.

The resort is also a cofounder of the Mendocino 100-Mile Initiative, an organization committed to sourcing locally, and the 14-table Restaurant at Stevenswood, which uses organic, sustainable ingredients and is open every day except Wednesday. Diners can select pairings from an impressive collection of California wines. The hotel's SoHo-style wine bar—which contains the copper-top bar from the set of the movie Rent—hosts complimentary tastings of the lodge's private-label olive oils. Additionally, guests will receive champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries or evening hors d'oeuvres, depending on the restaurant's availability.

Mendocino Coast, California: Small Towns Along Scenic Oceanfront and Redwood Forests

Located about three hours north of San Francisco, Northern California’s Mendocino Coast is a region filled with tiny towns, art colonies, and varied terrain. Within a few minutes of one another are sunlit valleys, fertile vineyards, rocky headlands blanketed by fog, and serene forests of old-growth redwoods. The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens showcase the area’s geographical diversity through its native rhododendrons, prickly succulents, and colorful blooms stretching to the ocean.

Partially because of its scenic land and sea scapes, the coast is popular with painters, who gather in artists' collectives such as the Mendocino Art Center. To see the land that inspires local artwork, head to Russian Gulch, Mendocino Headlands, or any of the region’s coastal state parks. At Mendocino Headlands State Park, waves crash into carving arches, grottos, and stony bluffs, while MacKerricher State Park north of Fort Bragg contains dramatic sand dunes.

Although normally quiet, the region comes alive during a series of whale festivals every March and April, when California gray whales pass by the coast as they migrate from Mexico to Alaska. You'll find one of the best vantage points for whale watching at Point Cabrillo Light Station, a lonely lighthouse first lit in 1909.

The Issue: Veterans Facing Mental and Economic Hardship

About 1.4 million veterans are considered at risk for homelessness, due to lack of support networks, poverty, and otherwise dismal living conditions, according to data cited by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. This problem is compounded by the fact that unemployment for post-9/11 veterans remains at 10.9%, well above the national average. Additionally, 44% of returning veterans have reported difficulties ranging from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to depression, making it difficult to hold down a job and support their families.

The Campaign: Building Gardens to Support Veterans

All donations to this Grassroots campaign will be used by Seeds of Hope to build garden beds at Fisher House locations. Each bed requires six 8-foot-long wood planks ($100), 12 bags of soil ($100), six seed packets ($20), weed barriers ($10), plus nails, brackets, and screws ($18). For every $250 raised, Seeds of Hope can purchase all the materials needed to build one garden bed. Each Seeds of Hope garden typically contains two beds.

At Fisher Houses across the country, which are generally located near VA hospitals, Seeds of Hope partners Girl Scouts with veterans and their families. Together, they plant, maintain, and harvest crops at their homemade gardens, providing 50 pounds of produce each year for the veterans and the families and an educational experience for the girls. Gardening also provides a soothing pastime for veterans with PTSD. Seeds of Hope ultimately hopes to build gardens in 10 different states by the end of this year.
