A boring transportation question

[clevelandbrowns01]

probably a question for Little Mel,

In June, I'll be staying at one of the downtown Reno casinos and am plotting a visit to the MR.  An issue is transportation. While the group I'm traveling with is renting a car, I'm not sure I'll be able to discreetly take the car for a couple hours. I'm not even sure if I'll be a listed driver on that car.

Anyway, what is a normal cab rate from downtown Reno to the MR?   Depending on what time I go to the MR, are waiting cabs normally outside the MR for people leaving or does one have to be called?  The only time I've been to the MR was early in the morning and there certainly weren't any cabs around then. This would not be a weekend night (it would probably be a Tuesday night or Wednesday night).

Another idea is to rent a car myself just for that day but that might be difficult to maintain discretion as well.

Well, I am not Mel but I suggest you rent a car for the day. I wouldn't even think of getting a cab.

Call tara they may be able to have a driver pick you up

[Wildfire]

Rent a car. You can pick it up at one of the downtown casinos.  I would never take a cab.

I've been once, and will be out once again in a couple of weeks.

Each time, I have/am renting a car.

However, it sounds like you're there with others. I don't know if a rental car can be arranged from the hotel (including receipt/return of the car), esp in a discreet manner...

[Wildfire]

Where are you staying downtown ?  Enterprise Rent-A-Car  can be rented at Silver Legacy .  It is a short walk from the other casinos in the downtown area.

Cabs equal bad mojo for your party. Find a way to get yourself at least out to the Ranch. For the Record though if you truly have no other option a cab from downtown would be around 100 round trip maybe a little more. Tell them not to wait or it will be even more.

But like others already said Cabs are not a good idea.

There is a car rental place in the air port called Dollar Rent a Car or something like that.      DON"T rent a car from them.
            They " ADDED $177.00 "  to my credit card " AFTER "  I got home from out there once and I had hell getting it back.

That's messed up Cobia . I got to keep my eye on them. 

I rent at the airport all the time from Dollar / Thrifty  never had any trouble. But I do normally prepay with my credit card travel program.

I did too .  They still added it after I left.

When you are in town go ahead and give us a call. We will do everything we can to get you out here. 775-343-1224


Be careful renting cars from the airport location. An airport concession fee and airport tax is added to every rental. After everything is said and done you will be spending over $100 easy. The casinos also add a resort tax and fee to every rental.


If you do choose to take a cab(which will be slightly cheaper than a rental,you wont risk getting lost, and you will be able to enjoy a few drinks because you have a DD) give us a call and we will put you in touch with one of our recommended cab drivers. We have a list of drivers that we know will take good care of you.

Uber and Lyft are also a fairly new option. You just have to be careful with them because their prices are not set. They increase during peak hours or days.

I can see how to get to the ranch using Uber/Lyft, but has anyone used them to return back to Reno? Do they have cars nearby the ranch to pick up people?

[Hondo]

I have had very good luck with the taxi's (actually had some fun with a couple of the drivers)and there is no worry if you want to do a little socializing afterward.

Talk to Little Mel, Nese, or  Tara. They know People. You can call the ranch & ask now. That way you can get some idea what it will be.
