If we want to stay at a casino, I recommend Atlantis or Peppermill. They are both nice and have large parking lots where we can gather. The casinos downtown are a PITA to park at. There are several small and cheap (i.e dumpy) motor lodges downtown. Near the airport is a Best Western, La Quinta and a Residence Inn. All three are nice.

Anybody know the best way to go about getting a group rate?

I would agree. It would be nice for most of us to stay at the same place. Best to look for a good parking lot, and then look at the rooms. I would stay away from the casinos and even get out of town a ways to get best rates and nice place. If people want to gamble, they can go to the casinos. Thanks for any work you guys are doing for us.

I know, I know, I need to get my rear in gear and start talking to hotels. I have a friend who is a reservationist for Choice Hotels. I think I'll start with her.

I'll just have to assume that the names on the sign-up list are still all intending on coming and use that as a potential room count.

Does anyone has a AAA membership? Two years ago, me and three other guys were staying at Best Wester, in Carson City, for only $20 a night. I am not sure how my friend got this rate, i know one thing for sure that it was for only 1 or two people. The rest, we had to sneak in the room. I will ask him though, has to do with some discount for member or something.

Nik... I'm not sure I want to stay in a hotel that charges 20.00 per night even with my aaa card...!!! (I'm kind of a hotel snob..) I work at very nice hotel...

I think a block rate with a lot of double bedded rooms would work. (I'll take a single King)

Again... sorry i'm late...

Yeah, I'd prefer not to stay in a hotel that rents rooms by the hour. I do have AAA membership, though.

Hey, that is just a suggestion. I survive as good as I can. You have to understand me, I am still a college student, so as for me, I can sleep pretty much anywhere, as long as it is fairly inexpensive.
BTW, Best Western is a very nice hotel. Although I haven't really been to that many for me to judge.

Cheap is good, as long as it's clean and safe.

Has it been determined for sure where the bulk of the meet is being held exactly? I assume most of the activity will be centered near the hotel that is decided. Is that going to be in Reno itself, or more by Tahoe?

I wanna go to the auto museum, see lake Tahoe, drive by Pyramid lake and get a picture of my car in front of a *****house. Hopefully that'll fit in with the itinerary.

We need a good parking lot - that is where we seem to be most of the time.

Fine, I'll go wash my mouth--uhm, my hands--with soap.

But really, it's the only state where I can get a pic of my car in front of a building like that. Well, actually I could probably find them in other states, but they're not legal.

Right, and in the illegal states they probably wouldn't have any sign advertising it so the picture wouldn't look like much.

I'm not up on all that stuff, but I was under the impression that those establishments were only legal around the Vegas area and not up north by Reno. Could be wrong though.

I guess either way though, if you really want to get a picture like that, this trip would probably be your best chance since the car will be most of the way there already.
