I don't know that I would choose Reno as a destination for a vacation, but we did have fun.  The whole reason for going down was our friends had a special doctor appointment, so we just decided to make a trip out of it. We all had fun, but we all agreed we wouldn't rush back, it's just not our things.  But nonetheless we came away with tips to help you plan your trip if that is something you are interested in.

Well we leave in just a few days, so I have continued to look around for more activties besides the Toxic Audio.  And in my browsing I found this website Pioneer Center for Performing Arts.  There I found a Hypnostist that will be performing while we will be in town.  There is also a calendar of events so you can see all the other things that will be happening now and in the months to come.  You can even purchase tickets right online.

Well I have been checking every website I can think of and trying to come up with some shows that we can go see while we are in Reno.  I have come across this one that I am pretty excited about.  It's called Toxic Audio.  It sounds amazing.  Its kind of a cross between music and improv comedy, and it sounds pretty high energy.  I called and talked with someone and it's general seating, so there is really no need to purchase tickets ahead of time, and while we are there we will have 3 shows to choose from.  So we will wait and see what else might be playing there so we don't end up double booking ourselves or missing out on something esle that looks great.

Alright this is a place that I haven't been to in years and have never been to as an adult.  So this is going to be a fun trip just trying to figure out what they have to offer.  We all know what Las Vegas has to offer, but we don't hear a whole lot about Reno.  There is a group of 4 of us going, us and our good friends from Salem.

There were a few things that I had somehow missed when I was reading up on our vacation.  First off I guess we were not allowed to wear shorts into some of the dining rooms.  We went to the Italian place and it said on a sign out front no shorts or flip flops allowed.  Well we were not prepared for anything else, we had brought nothing but shorts for the guys and my daughter and I had capris.  So we entered with our shorts and flip flops, although we looked nice.  There were people that were not dressed nice at all and no one was turned away.  So if you want to take extra clothes for some dinners go ahead, but it was never required.

We were greeted at the El Cid with drinks, which was nice and the kids could not believe.  From that moment on they decided they wanted to stay forever.

Our room was fine.  There are pictures on the web that make it look much more luxurious that it really was.  But it was fine for us.  We chose the most inexpensive room you could purchase and we were very pleased.  We had a view out of our room that was spectacular.

What a great trip!  We really enjoyed out experience with Vacations To Go .   They sent us all the info through email, but were also available by phone and we were able to talk with our guy directly and ask questions at any time.  GREAT experience.  We will definitely use them again.

I still have a few things left to buy for our early Christmas celebration and we have a few events left before we leave, but we are snowed in.  I can either be stressed and try and figure it all out or just go with the flow.  I am enjoying the snow and going with the flow.  The good news is in 6 days we will be in 84 degree weather and I can't wait!!

I am looking through all these different aspects of the motel so I can see what I am in for and then come home and write a review.

So this motel is modern, Spanish style hotel includes 500 rooms and suites. Chose between low-rise units with pool views or an ocean-view room in our 17-floor tower above Mexico’s largest swimming pool.
