Divorce Revolutionized Identity

The introduction of no-fault divorce laws transformed divorce accessibility across the United States, diminishing the need to prove wrongdoing. This shift led to a widespread acceptance of divorce, with Reno notably becoming known as the divorce capital of the world. The influx of individuals seeking divorce contributed to Reno's cosmopolitan character despite its small size, influencing its identity and tourism sector. The combination of this legal change and the legalization of gambling laid the foundation for the enduring tourism industry in the area.
