Maksim Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Check priceline, name your price. Trump Hotel, Condos, are around $75 to $100 /night if it is in the budget. There is a forum, biddingfortravel.com or something like that that lists what people are getting/paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Something to bear in mind; USPSA gets benefits for each shooter that books at the match hotel using the Discount Code, such benefits could include cheaper rates for USPSA on conference rooms etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maineshootah Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 We stayed at the Riviera in 2009 for the Nationals. I really don't know why the hotel gets such a bad rap. If you're the type that stays in the hotel to only eat the food from that hotel and gamble from that same hotel...well, yeah you'll probably get sick of it within a couple of days. However, if you're the type that uses it only as a place to sleep in, it's pretty good. We slept in the newly renovated buildings. Clean, the receptionists were nice, and it was very easy to exit and travel between my vehicle and my room. We used it as a home base but most of the time we immediately went to other casinos to watch shows and gamble after a days shooting. One more thing, traffic and driving to the range was NEVER a problem from the Riviera. All I remember was leaving parking lot, going straight, taking a left, going straight...that's as simple as it was. Diana +1 I stayed at the Riv for the 2010 3 gun Nats.. Everything above that Diana stated I experienced. Yeah, it is at the end of the strip, and the Casino is small. But.. VERY fast to the range. Rooms very clean, staff was great. Never ate the buffet, way to many options to choose from on the strip. And never a issue as I rolled past the pool (full of guests) with my shooting gear bag and my hard sided Pelican case on wheels. I am very excited that we are at the Riv. Cheap rooms are a plus when adding up all the costs of everything else you have to get/bring/have for the Multigun Nats (and the McDonalds RIGHT across the street is nice if you want something in your stomach this is familiar before / after you shoot for the day.)

racerba Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Ah, I'll get to see my favorite Libertarians, Penn & Teller. I don't think Penn and Teller is at the Riv. They are definitely at the Rio. And yes, the Riv is not a bad hotel...not the Rio, but not bad... Edited July 13, 2011 by racerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert King Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I was a big Marriott fan for years when spending a lot of time on the road for business, so I still have a LOT of points with them. I booked at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa using free points. It is about $200 a night if you pay cash, but if you book just two weeks in advance you can get the room for half that. It looks like it is about a 10 minute drive to the range. If you have points, a larger budget or can wait to the last minute, this hotel/resort rocks. I have stayed there before and the rooms, staff and food are great. And it looks like one of the three or four closest hotels to the range. After a long hot day of shooting, I look forward to something that stuck in my memory from the last time I was at the hotel. The suite I was in had a 8' x 10' shower with about 8 or 10 shower heads/jets and the entire ceiling was a rain shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Boudrie Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I am sure if you are a degenerate gambler, you can get it comped, or very cheap rate. LV hotels have gotten VERY good at screening - "normal" people get their comps based on computerized credits for time spent gambling, size of bets, etc. If you want to get offered a comp just because you are expected to gamble, without having the amount of gambling specifically tracked to assure it's a paramutual win for the casino, you need to fall into the category of someone the casino will make an offer to, not someone who will ask for one. I forgot to mention that wireless internet will NOT be free at Riviera. So expect to pay around 10 bucks a night if you want it. That's one thing that I don't like...but I doubt many major casinos on the main strip offer that anyways. The use of wireless internet in a casio hotel is considered tantamount to theft so they charge for it. Similarly, it's why all casino hotels close the pool at 6PM and do so in a "we really mean it" way rather than just put up a little sign everyone ignores. You should be gambling instead . It actually gives me a chance to cheat the hotel twice - once by not gambling; and a second time by using my Droid tethered to my laptop for internet. If you want free internet, check out the Desert Rose - off strip, non casino, very nice but it does not have a boatload of at-facility places to eat.

EmanP Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Well I'm glad I looked here. When I tried the link on the USPSA Nationals page the rates were ALOT more expensive. Why don't they list the link about? When called they were very very unhelpful. Edited September 9, 2011 by EmanP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankymac Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 In 09 we stayed at the Red Rocks Hampton Suites. It was just a few minutes from the range and few minutes from the strip and food. The trip to the range was quick and the Hampton is a newer hotel (typical Hampton free Internet and breakfast). What made it really nice was is it was a free stay...I rack up 150/200K Hilton points a year traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandbagger Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 how was driving to and from the range in the morning and afternoon? should we avoid the surface streets and hit the freeway instead? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 There are a bunch of lane closures on Sahara that leads to the range. Typically it's taking 25+ minutes to get to the range in the morning and about 10-15 minutes longer coming back in the afternoon/evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jriera Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Local's secret .... go South on Paradise to Desert Inn, all the way West on Desert Inn, right into Hualapai, either continue and make a left on Charleston to the range or make a left on Sahara to North on the 215 to Charleston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jriera Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 95 does not take you anywhere near close to the range (curves North at Rainbow), traffic lights in Charleston are bad .. very bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW Marriott rocks for a match hotel Stayed there for 2002 and 2005 MG Nats and would never stay anywhere else for a match at that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmanP Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I guess it turns into Summerlin Parkway. Is that a street with lights or an express way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facelessman Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 From the Riviera.... Sahara to 15 North, to 95 North. Summerlin Parkway (no traffic lights) to 215 South. Then Charleston west. 25 minutes to and from the range. Tried all the other ways, and this was by far the easiest and fastest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jriera Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 As a 'good' local I never take the 15 unless I have to . That is a good route ... unless you hit traffic at the Spaghetti Bowl or along the 95 before Summerlin Pkwy, very 'time sensitive' route, but a good one.

35WLN Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Local's secret .... go South on Paradise to Desert Inn, all the way West on Desert Inn, right into Hualapai, either continue and make a left on Charleston to the range or make a left on Sahara to North on the 215 to Charleston This hint would have been great to include in the registration packet instead of the other map. Realistic times are 35 in the morning and 45 in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
