good luck!
I went to Reno 3 times bowling over Memorial Day weekend. word of caution; avoid the former Reno Hilton (grand high sierra) during this time(at least the hotel part) because of the nice amenities(bowling center, pool, mall)
it garners its share of kids. and there is usually a AAU basketball tournament going on down town so all the teams shack up there. it takes FOREVER to get an elevator even though there are like 4. It becomes a busy place. also expect a LONG wait to check in any where you stay. 2X at the hilton on friday (late, after midnight)and once at the nugget on sat afternoon I had to stand in line 45 mins to an hour both places because of the line of people. but the extra people around makes the visit to the city more interesting. if you lay out in the sun, use sunblock and ONLY stay out 25-30 minutes. have had harsh sunburn like I have never experienced anywhere else. if you bowl the journal, go to the sierra late, like 2 am. usually the shot is just their house shot and you'll get a good read on the lanes.(nobody sleeps there anyway)
good luck! report back & have fun!
