Flight
You will definitely want to fly into Reno Airport (RNO) if you cannot drive up. Make sure to check Southwest.com for flights as they often beat other airlines and have more nonstop options to Reno. The Airport also has rental cars which are well priced but if you are staying near the Airport most hotels have a shuttle and Uber is great in Reno so you won't need a rental car unless you prefer to have one.
Hotel
Grand Sierra Resort requires a 2 night stay. No Saturday arrivals. We recommend you book on their website using your phone instead of a computer. We were able to get a 10% discount that way!
Travel Note
We recommend you search travel websites for lodging near the Reno Airport. There are a ton of options, some on the much cheaper side than Grand Sierra Resort and many with Saturday night only if you prefer a shorter stay.
