Reno in 2008!

Thank you for your interest in the 2008 ESA Annual Meeting in Reno. This year the annual meeting will be held at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Housing

The official hotels are the Atlantis Hotel and Casino and the Peppermill Hotel and Casino. As a change from years past the Peppermill and the Atlantis are not Passkey housing systems, so attendees will need to book directly with the hotels.

ESA has negotiated reduced rates for your stay in Reno at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa and the Peppermill Hotel and Casino. ESA is held financially responsible for utilizing blocks of rooms at these hotels. Please support ESA by making your housing reservation at either of these hotels. 

Shuttle Service

Shuttle service will be provided between the Peppermill Hotel and Casino and the Reno-Sparks Convention Center throughout the meeting.

A good website for reviewing flights into and out of Reno is available by clicking here.

Local Travel:

Reno is an easy city to navigate and the hotels are less than two miles from the airport (click through to see a Reno map). There are a large number of shuttle and taxi services available at the airport either by reservation or simply by finding one onsite.

Things to see and do:

While gaming is the #1 tourist attraction in Reno, one would be remiss in thinking that Reno is ALL gambling. Check out our "local flavor" page for more ideas of what to see and do while you're in Reno.
