The Conference center is on the second and third floor, with the casino and restaurants on the first floor. Two hotel towers provide affordable rooms and easy access to the conference. Or you can book one of the top-floor luxury suites. One suite has three rooms and a grand piano in the living room.
The suites are not listed on the normal hotel room booking site. Try calling the hotel directly if you are interested.
The Nugget is 10 minutes from the Reno airport on the free shuttle bus provided by the hotel.
SPLASH 2010 will take place October 17-21
SPLASH 2010 will take place October 17-21 in the Reno/Tahoe area of Nevada.
John Ascuaga's Nugget Hotel, which is hosting SPLASH, is technically in the town of Sparks Nevada. Originally Reno and Sparks were two little frontier towns about 4 miles apart. As the city grew Reno swallowed Sparks physically but they never merged city governments. The Reno/Sparks metropolitan area has a population of 330,000. The climate in October is pleasant, with average high of 70°F (21°C) and low of 34°F (1°C). There is little chance of rain and slight chance of snow..ow.
Reno is 22 mi (35 km) from Lake Tahoe. This beautiful fresh-water lake is 22 mi (35 km) long. It is also high in the Sierra Nevada mountains, at an elevation of 6,225 ft (1,897 m). When planning to attend SPLASH 2010, please consider staying an extra day to visit Lake Tahoe.
