Default 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.

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......

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly. I would love to go one year but w/only 2 weeks vacation time and taking 1.5 weeks off for Power Tour doesn't leave much time to do other car stuff...
