Reno-Tahoe International Airport welcomes all the major carriers from around the U.S. each day, with many non-stops and arrival times to select from.  Fly in and be only a few minutes cab ride from over 40 Hotels and Casinos and over 20 convention and meeting places. For drivers, Reno and Sparks are located at the junction of Interstate 80 and U.S. 395. It’s an easy and scenic drive from most of the 11 western states. I-80 provides all-weather access via Donner Summit from centraland northern California.From southern California, it’s a straight shot up U.S. 395 along the dramatic eastern front of the Sierra Nevada.From the Northwest, take I-5 south to I-80 or, in good weather, opt for the scenic shortcut that leaves I-5 at Mount Shasta and follows California 89 and 44 southeast through Susanville.A third option is AMTRAK’s California Zephyr, which arrives daily from the Bay Area and Sacramento to the west and Salt Lake and Denver to the east. Trains from the Northwest, coastal southern California and the Central Valley connect to the Zephyr in Sacramento.
