    Nugget Casino Resort Host Hotel for Nationals

    We’re pleased to announce the Nugget Hotel and Casino has been selected as the primary host Hotel  and Banquet location for the ULTRA4 Nitto National Championship! The Nugget is closer to the track, with more room inventory.  More inventory allows them to offer our group a deeper discounted rate making it possible to bring more family and team to Reno to celebrate our year end!  The Nugget also offers more casual dining options and areas for teams to hang out away from the casino floor.  The banquet will be the same ballroom experience as years past at The Nugget as well.  While The Nugget has more rooms, you still don’t want to wait until the last minute as hotels in Reno do sell out for Nationals!

    Room prices for ULTRA4 at The Nugget are: $49 Sun-Wed, and $79 Thurs-Saturday for double occupancy.
