The Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center
The Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center is also a great place to hold your convention or meeting. If you're looking for a unique location to hold a special session of your convention or show, we've got the perfect place for your event. Plan your own private rodeo or have a team building, steer decorating contest.
Don’t be fooled by the name the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center (RSLEC) is a fitting venue for a variety of events, even those that don’t feature any four-legged creatures. Although the RSLEC is the home base for a list of prestigious equine and rodeo events, including the nationally televised Reno Rodeo, it also is a favorite venue for youth and collegiate sporting competitions, motocross and national monster truck events.
There is a surprising variety of consumer-based shows that take place at the RSLEC, featuring everything from antiques, trains and cars to RV and boat sales. Every November, thousands of skiers flock to the facility for the highly successful University of Nevada, Reno Ski Swap, looking for great bargains for the soon-to-start ski season.
The RSLEC is situated on 43 acres of land located a few minutes from downtown Reno and 10 minutes from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. The building features two indoor and two outdoor arenas, 3,100 paved and lighted parking spaces, 660 10-by-12-foot animal stalls and a 20,000-square-foot exhibition hall.
The climate-controlled main arena has seating for 6,200 people, three show offices and a 150-by-300-foot dirt-floor arena.
The Livestock Pavilion, connected to the main arena via tunnel, comprises a 1,000-seat arena or auction area, a 100-by-125-foot covered cutting area and a 90-by-200-foot outdoor arena.
Showcased on millions of TV screens around the world during the Reno Rodeo, the RSLEC rodeo arena has 9,491 seats, plus viewing suites and a 325-by-170-foot dirt-floor arena. The facility’s 20,000-square-foot, climate-controlled exhibition hall has a 100-by-200-foot cement floor.
For livestock events, the RSLEC has 19 barns on the property in addition to the stalls, as well as convenient wash racks for horses, 216 multi-use stalls and 266 exhibitor truck and trailer spaces. For caretakers, the center also features 42 full-hookup RV spaces and an RV dump station.
