Barbie Death Village Reno Hotel Deal 2019

[Strata]

Where can you park a larger vehicle (25 foot camper) at The Sands? When I was there last year I saw a small parking lot where I snagged a space, but this year (I hope) I will have a larger vehicle.

[Realized I could answer my own question by looking at a satellite photo of The Sands, and discovered the huge parking lot on the other side of the building-- I came in on 4th from Keystone, and parked last year in the small lot next to that funhouse supply place. ]

Unless you find a very updated satellite photo of the Sands and surrounding property it wont be accurate. A lot of the old motels are gone and a lot of those properties are fenced off. It does look like they are putting in a new parking lot across the street (Ralston) from the pool side. It’s the new company who bought the Sands that owns this lot, so most likely parking will be available there.

Thanks kindly!!

Lucky's information is accurate. On the south side of The Sands, across the street from the main parking lot, is a large (and usually empty) lot that they are allowing larger vehicles to park, like box trucks and RVs.

This deal remains open and should continue that way until September 5. This is a helluva deal and I for one am taking advantage of it myself. Twice.

No you can’t, it’s public and you might be the only people for a moment, but that can change. I actually know a local who tried this, The Sands was not pleased.

We are going to be in Reno the night of the third, but we have to get the RV ready to turn in the next morning and fly home. Dayum!

Just wanted to say thanks for this.

We had a major engine issue with our van on our drive into Burning Man on the 25th. Had to have it towed to Reno after the event. And although we had already planned on being there for a few days, our decompression was now under totally different circumstances. Basically stuck in town at the mercy of this van repair. (I'm actually writing this from Reno, we are still here a week and a half after the Burn.) We are now at a cheap motel for the rest of the duration to keep costs low, but being able to stay at the Sands for a few days in the middle of a huge frustrating ordeal was so helpful and very much appreciated.

So, thank you, Barbie Death Village!
