How to get to the Reno Rodeo

The Reno Rodeo grounds are off Interstate 80 just to the northeast of downtown Reno, in a lot bound by Sutro Street, East Ninth Street and North Wells Avenue. Attendees can drive and park their own vehicles at the rodeo or take a bus, taxi or shuttle service to the rodeo.

If you prefer not to park at the rodeo grounds: To save the hassle of parking on-site, the Reno Rodeo and the Grand Sierra Resort will provide a free shuttle between the parking lot at the GSR (2500 E. Second St. in Reno) and the rodeo grounds between 2:30 p.m. and midnight for all 10 days of the rodeo.

Two RTC Washoe bus lines — Ninth/Silverada/Sparks and Sun Valley via Sutro/Wedekind — will continue to make stops at Ninth and Sutro streets at the southeast corner of the rodeo grounds.

The South Lot (which includes VIP, disabled and permit parking but not general parking) can be reached through Gate 6 on the east side of the rodeo grounds near the intersection of Sutro and 11th streets.

Wells Avenue will be reduced to two lanes, with one-way west and southbound traffic from Sutro Street to 9th Street.

Northbound traffic will be redirected east at 9th Street and north at Sutro Street.

Only left turns will be allowed into and out of the rodeo grounds from Wells Avenue, while normal turning options will be allowed on Sutro and 9th streets.

Traffic signs will be in place, and the Reno Police Department may assist during peak hours.

Gate 3 located off Wells Avenue west of Sutro will serve as the contestant entrance.

Public parking access will be available through Gate 2.5 for the north lot and Gate 6 off Sutro for the south lot, with ADA parking in both areas.

Gates 2, 4, and the Health Department Gate will be exit-only.

All gates will open after each night’s event to aid outgoing traffic.
