Title: Hotel Advice
Post by: OITSouthpaw on April 21, 2010, 09:09:40 AM: I need to book a hotel for the weekend of the 8th and 9th and I am having trouble making a decision so I thought I''d throw it out here. I''m trying to decide between the Silver Legacy which is closer so I can just walk over to the stadium, or the Grand Sierra which I like better, but would have to drive over. The main thing I dont know is where I''d be able to park should I drive over from the Legacy. Any input from everyone would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Sorry on edit, I wouldnt drive from the legacy I''d drive from the Grand Sierra...

Walking with at least two balls is a chore in any type of distance even if they are on rollers..

As already mentioned there is a parking ramp at the stadium so parking should not be a problem. Myself I have never stayed at the Grand Sierra so I can't say anything about there. The Silver Legacy is nice, stayed there once.

If you don't use a locker it really isn't that long a trek from Harrahs, Silver Legacy or El Dorado. But parking in the stadium garage is good too. If you are going to park in the garage, it really doesn't matter where you stay.

Thanks

The Atlantis did have a shuttle to the Stadium last time in Reno. I do not know about this year but I rode it back and forth several times.

Post by: shipper50 on May 02, 2010, 11:53:06 AM: I stayed at Circus Circus in 07 and thought it was good for the money. Clean, good size rooms and can walk to the NBS in about 10 mins or so.
