Seems like I've done the a couple of times over the past couple of years, but no complaints from me. 
I scored $80.00 round-trip airfares into Reno on Southwest Airlines and picked up my Hertz Car Rental wheels, which cost me a measly $60.00 for the entire four day weekend.
An hour and a half later, I was on the back deck of the "Ready River Retreat" checking out the Upper Truckee River and waiting for the rest of the mob to arrive.
