Hot August Nights
 

I'm thinking about going to Reno for the Hot August Nights event. Is there anyone that has been there that can offer some tips for a first time visit? I'm looking for places to stay, places to avoid, best time to go, etc. Is it worth taking the car for the first time or just go experience the show?

Thnx, Scott

You don't need a car and there is a wait list anyway. I stay at the Atlantis. I would recommend the Atlantis, Peppermill and Grand Sierra. Each have good car show-cruises. Atlantis is right across the street from the convention center where the Silver auction is.

Charley, What days/nights/times are more significant to attend then others relative to the swap meet, car coral, etc etc for 2008.............

Thanks, Chuck

Just for what it's worth.......Charley talked me into going last year for the time, and it is beyond what anyone can comprehend.......with the constant flow of Cars, the Silver Auction and watching Charley Gamble and eat Corn Dogs......Going to Squaw Valley and Lake Tahoe for the Wooden Boat show........What more could a fella ask for......

Re: Hot August Nights
 

Is the Wooden Boat show always the same time? We usually try to travel to one big car show per year. We've seen all the local cars so its nice to travel and see new cars/meet new people. Last year we went to Good Guys in Columbus. Thought this would be a nice trip, I just don't want to wait until the last minute to plan everything.

I will go the Reno Aug 6-10 and the boat show is 7-13 so it is the same time. It is a nice drive from Reno to Tahoe to the boat show maybe 40 minutes.

Re: Hot August Nights
 

Charley, thanks for the info on the boat show. After seeing your pictures from last year I am very interested in going to that show as well.
