Looks like SCI is returning to Reno in 2019 for at least 3 years.

What's wrong with Reno? Not that it matters to me; I've never attended a SCI convention--too expensive!

MARK H. YOUNGNitro,
1. Reno is harder to get in and out of than Vegas because of limited flights and weather.
2. There are fewer choices for lodging and dining than Vegas.
3. For me at least the town is just seedy enough that I'm not comfortable just taking a stroll from my hotel like I might on the Strip in Vegas.
BTW I had come to all these conclusions long before I moved to Vegas.

WesheltonjNot sure why they would do that when Vegas has an international terminal with direct flights and Reno you have to transfer. That said, I still will not be attending, as DSC is a better deal.

MikeBurkeI like the show in Reno. I like the show in Las Vegas. I like the show in Dallas. There are things about each location or organization that I prefer or dislike compared to the other location or org. But none of my preferences are strong enough to stop me from going.
24 July 2016, 02:57
PoyntmanI like the show, yes, whether in Reno or Vegas..
But....
Reno is a Sh.. Hole comparatively.
Cost is generally less but everything from Lodging, food etc is not as nice.
I'd say SCI was getting some pressure on total cost that effects many of our friends from Other countries.

JBoutfishnGreat news! The folks in Reno appreciate the convention and the folks visiting. I can enjoy the show at half the overall cost.

FrostbitMust be tough on vendors going from one venue to the othe every few years. I thought a lot of the foreign guys store their both displays for the year. Now they have to move the stuff to another city again.

Steve AhrenbergLV is super easy for me, under 4 hours door to door, driving. As others have stated, Reno fewer flights and choices.
Reno seems to me to just have an appearance of being "dirty."

twoseventyGreat news. I will probably start attending again.

shootawayI just booked for the SCI 2017 convention in Vegas.
I will be staying at the Luxor.

wrenchmasterGreat news; for me Las Vegas was nothing but a bunch of scammers trying to separate you from your money. I will probably go again to Reno!

sheephunterabGreat news! Vegas is way too expensive!

nickhKathi,
Thanks for the link. Whilst i prefer Vegas to Reno, i note with interest that SCI is going in the week before Dallas , in effect having the 2 big conventions back to back. OUTFITTERS WILL LOVE THIS SCENARIO. much more cost effective for them.
cheers

jhaneyPromised myself to never again go to SCI in Vegas for all the negatives previously posted. Reno is closer to friends and family too. Might see you in Reno.

chuck5656Another vote for Reno !

SpooksarI didn't mind Reno but it was hard to get in and out of. Vegas for me is cheap with a time share there.

Use Enough GunAnd then it's back to Las Vegas. . .

Oryxhunter1983Is anyone wondering about 2019, when the DSC and SCI are at the same time??
Has that been resolved??? Cause that an interesting move...

I don't see how they will have time to move and set up for DSC if they try to make both! Maybe that was SCI's purposeful thought!

Idaho SharpshooterI always enjoyed Reno much more. NPD345 and I can drive to Reno (400 miles) in my old Jag convertible, with the top down and the electric seats trying to toast us in about seven hours. Vegas is at least twelve hours.
I go to see the exhibits and visit with friends, not hit the bars or strip joints every night.
Reno, count us in...

I think S.C.I. is in February!!!....You might want to keep the top up!!!

Idaho SharpshooterSlider,
even with the top down, the seats keep you warm.
Car is very aerodynamic, no side drafts to mention.
For some reason, we have seen 60-65-degrees and sunny every year...

Not resolved but it is being worked on. Venues and hotels are contracted years in advance, and those same hotels and venues book other events based on the earlier bookings. Really a mess trying to make changes.
