BY TRAIN
Amtrak rolls through Reno
from Sacramento & Salt Lake.
There are only one or two trains per day,

a block from the RENO sign!

Of course Greyhound hits Reno from many directions, but
the chumps seem to have discontinued their "Lucky Streak" special...
unless you wanna go to Vegas. And why would ya?
BY PLANE
The airport is just a $8 cab ride from the venue, and
many hotels (including the Sands) offer free shuttles every
30 minutes or so. Southwest
and ExpressJet
are a couple of
so-called "low cost" carriers that land in Reno (though nothin'
is
cheap anymore). You should also try a search on
sidestep.com and skyscanner.net!
DRIVING
Just four hours from San Francisco!
(I can do it in three & a quarter)
Two hours from Sacramento!
Seven hours from Boise, Vegas, or the Salt Lake!
Here's
directions and a map to the Alley
GETTING AROUND
TOWN
If you're staying at the Nugget you won't need to move too far -- the venue's
right across the street! If you want to explore: Reno's mostly flat and very
bikeable, with plenty of new bike lanes and a real nice river path. Our local
bus service has a terminal right next to the Nugget, check it here: rtcwashoe.com.
Buses leave for downtown Reno every 10-15 minutes. For a taxi call 333-3333
