My first year 2010, I camped Sat & was able to get a room for Sunday night w/o a reservation @ the nugget for $200. Last year I got one of the 4 night packages at Montego Bay (the 4 night was all that was available & they would only take bookings online). It's the same story this year as only 4 night packages are available.. I really only want a room for Sat & Sunday night.. Has anybody had experience with just showing up and getting an available room Sat/ Sun??
I mean worst case we head over to SLC or Elko.

Try Wells it.s 60 miles west, SLC is over 100 miles
-
Thanks Glen.. It's part of our Honeymoon, so the Super 8 in Wells might not cut it w/ the wife lol.. But hey at least she agreed Speedweek was a great idea..
-
there are a lot of decent hotels around the SLC airport - exit 113- Hilton, etc. about 1 1/2 hrs to the salt
-
By Monday you can usually get a room in Wendover. There will also be last minute cancellations
-
Ely's the most fun if you're coming that way. Hotel Nevada -- nevada's highest building (1926).
-
Is the Hotel Nevada as good as Patricia's Green Lantern (as shown on Geisler's "Hanky Panky" map)?
:cheers:

It's a fun place to stay. Good food as well.

Don't forge the Stardust Ranch in Ely, where more than one racer has been known to hang out. I have heard its a very lovely place. :-o Tony
-

Bearing burner, our 40 th is 3 days after speedweek this year the 20th of Aug. :cheers:

Both Glen and Glenn seem to be slow to react.
On Aug 6th Doris and I will have been married 58 years.
Carol and Doris have had enough time to dump us but somehow we have survived.
This trip to Speed Week will be my 130th and Doris has already been there once.
If we make it to the 60th I get the quart of Ever Clear that was give to us as a wedding gift.
If she survives and I don't she can break the bottle on her Mothers headstone.

Corvette Mike,
Check out the "for sale by Private parties" section of this site. There is a street roadster for sale, but at the end of his ad he has rooms at the Montego Bay.
Doug :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

"This trip to Speed Week will be my 130th"
130th SpeedWeek? You must be counting going back and forth from town each day. Don't worry, pink stuff will straighten you out.
-
Back to lodging: I see that the new land Speed Racing museum in Wendover is progressing - burying pipe and such. And there's a note on the Facebook entry saying they're hoping to campsites available for SpeedWeek and Wos. I don't do much with Facebook -- it's Nancy's page(s) - but I did see that one comment. Look for yourselves if you want further information, but camping there might be a good idea -- closer (by far) to town, and sooner or later with more amenities than at the Bend. No Salt Talks, though, although I hear they're hoping to have some type of gathering/party there. And I've been assured that said get-together WILL NOT conflict with Salt Talks.
-
DO NOT!! I repeat DO NOT stay or give the Super 8 in Well's a credit card number or even try canceling the room 2 weeks prior to a trip there......They will still charge your credit card the week of your stay and it's VERY hard (at least it was for me) to get the charges reversed. They fought it and I/we lost a couple of hundred & our trip to the Salt was on an even tighter budget after they 'tagged' us 1600 miles from home.

Brian, I can't blame you for excluding racers that are so hungry that they'd eat the pet chihuahua. :evil:
