I did this one year and saved a ton, but be aware of the weather conditions thru the pass, they can go from iffy to down right deadly in a flash

I'm not planning on going, but I'm curious:

How long do you guys go for?  Do you stay in Reno or someplace close?

So it's pretty much fly out, bowl, and go home?

It's about $300 roundtrip for me, and I'm guessing $50 a night for a room - looked at some during the week prices for flights and room at Circus Circus.

So $450 + whatever fees and taxes for a quick bowling trip, and whatever you spend while there.  Sounds like something I might want to try one of these years.

Booked airfare and hotel through Expedia.  Airfare on Delta from Minneapolis to Reno by way of Salt Lake City was $250 round trip.  Not too bad.

The prices might be high because Reno isn't that big of an airport or destination for that matter.. If you think it is worth it and you don't mind driving a bit you might be able to find better deals to Sacramento.  Reno is a little over 2 hours from Sacramento.  Depending on when you are going, there might be snow or storms and it might not be worth risking the drive..

You aren''t lying there on this year.  It is making really think about next year to the same place.  I am looking at $500 roundtrip from Baltimore to Reno this year.  I can get to Vegas for $210 RT.  Am actually thinking of making the drive from Vegas to Reno to save the $300 if I can get a rent a car for about $125 for 3 days.


Phoneman, I am going late May and got a roundtrip for $325 from BWI on Southwest. Fly out Thursday, come back Monday. One thing I have learned with Southwest is that you have to book as soon as the dates you need are available to get the cheapest rates.

I used my Harrah''s card to get my room for a total of $160 for the four nights.

I'm taking to whole family this year. We're staying in Lake Tahoe because of my time share. We booked our flights back in November for 1196.00 r/t non stop, so I didn't think that was too bad.

We're doing the snow skiing thing.

I found out last night why i cant find lower prices right now.  All of the current deals expire on flights on 6/20/2010.  Have to wait for the next round of discounts to come in.  Should be in the next couple of weeks.  That is why I cant find anything cheap right now.

Flights from Sioux Falls, SD or Sioux City, IA (75 miles south of SF) are about $500 right now.  Was $328 out of Sioux City and then one day, boom, close to $500.  If they don't drop I'll be pairing up with a couple and driving.  Not too excited about a 22 hour drive!

I'm leaving end of March and out of NYC and there was nothing less than 350.  I figured the only way I could put up with that hellhole of a city is to spend a few nights in Vegas before hand.  I found a 3 way flight from NYC to Vegas, Vegas to Reno, and Reno to home for a total of 362.
