Hmmmmm. I'll have to check it out. Just might be able to swing it. Rascal, Snorkel Bob, wanna go?

I'll be heading up there with a couple friends of mine. Went to the last show and the gun selection was just unbelievable - most of it we can't have in the PRK. I remember drooling at some of the machine guns on display. Hopefully, there will be some XM-193 ammo for sale, as I'm all out. Also, I'll have to see if some rooms are available at the Reno Hilton (had to stay in some trashy hotel last time).

Got my C&R, got my COE. Only thing I don't have is money.

Yea, I think we are going to make it. I need to make reservations pretty quick.

You don't need the COE in Nevada. It's only good at California dealers.

Already made hotel reservations for Fri and Sat nights.

Im saving for a MP5 receiver/parts kit. I might go look and hit the BLM for some fun but dont plan on buying anything.

Can you let me know on the rooms? I am definately going. I need a break. I hope the roulette tables have been making a profit because all that will change when we get there! 17 Black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look forward to seeing you there~!

I feel sorry for all you having to get hotels, It's only an hour and 15 minute drive to reno from my apartment here in the lousy PRK. Enough of my gloating, I'm gonna be there most likely on the 18th.

I got a room at the Reno Hilton. Is that where the show is? They had a military retiree rate that couldn't be beat.
See y'all there!

This is why it's always good to call. According to the internet, they didn't have rooms available for those dates. Glad you got a room!

I stayed at the Fitz for August show. Not too bad for a reasonable room when everything else was $200+/nite (Hot Aug Nights, jazz fest, etc - lotsa stuff going on around town mid-August).

However, there are No Handguns signs at Fitzgerald's - posted on hotel main entry door on side street (can't remember if casino entry doors on Virginia St. had 'em posted). These are just the red circle + slash + dowdy black revolver image on white background signs. But I assume if you came traipsing in w/rifles it might raise some eyebrows, and this sign means NV CCW isn't welcome.

I've never carried cased rifles into Silver Legacy but don't see those signs on the doors. If you have CCW you should be OK there.

Obviously, the Reno Hilton is gun-friendly So is the Nugget: I've carried multiple cased ARs in typcial Cordura assault weapon bags into Nugget without question, and in fact got a warm welcome from the desk clerk. A year or two ago there was a duck hunting convention, and lotsa rich-appearing old dudes (judging from platinum Rolexes & nice shoes) w/gun cases slung over their shoulders were checking into the Nugget and going up elevator to their rooms.

Clearly they mean no revolvers
