Stockmen's has this same guide sitting on the desk where you check in.

You can't beat Stockmen's if you're coming in from out of state! A good quality hotel with a delicious breakfast. And only a short walk from three houses!

I didn't learn about Mudd Hutt until after all my parties last time, but if you want a fancy coffee, don't forget to ask the lady of your dream if she wants something (and the barkeep may want one).

Hoping to take a road trip to Elko in February. It will be my first winter trip, and I was wondering if anyone has done any cross country skying in the Elko area? Any places to rent equipment?

Never been but snobowl has it

I usually at Stockmen's Inn when I visit Elko. It's only a few blocks walk to the brothels. My last visit was early in January. I joined both Stockmen's and Red Lion's casino player clubs.

I was getting two free night a month offers from Stockmen's. That stopped, and I started getting steep-reduced hotel offers from Red Lion. I opted for the Red Lion this trip.

Huge disappointment. This is the kind of hotel that was probably a good place to stay 30 years ago. When I walked down to the hotel through the highway, I was trying to determine what color the carpet was. It looked faded, like mud.

The room looked like it hadn't updated in a long time, it gave me the creeps. About midnight the heater fan turned on and the whole room vibrated. A loud, groaning noise.

I went to the desk clerk who apologized (she had probably heard the same thing before) and gave me a room on the second floor, which she said wasn't occupied as often and was thus "better".

I noticed right away, it was better, it looked I had gone back to 1990. I laid down, by this time it was about 11:30, and suddenly the heater comes on and makes this loud whining sound. I was out of there. I went to Stockmen's.

I paid full price, which isn't a lot, and I got a better room than at the great Red Lion.I wouldn't stay there if YOU paid ME.

Wanted to add a restaurant to Peters fantastic list of good places to eat in Elko. Odeh's Mediterranean Restaurant at 282 11th Street. I had lunch there on my last trip to Elko, and look forward to returning on my next visit, which I hope is real soon! They have good falafels, tabbouleh, and baba ganoush. They also have lots of meat dishes on the menu. It's casual place with  good prices and delicious food.

Does anyone have any advice for booking a flight into Elko, like getting a deal/when to book. I’m flying into SLC but I’d rather use Elko if I could get a good deal, hate that there’s just the 1 airline.

Elko airport is SMALL, people are surprised that they even do commercial flights out of there and it’s not just the mail. If you enjoy driving, SLC has a much bigger selection of rental cars and you can do a fun little road trip. If you don’t, the flight from SLC to Elko takes only 40 minutes and is very pleasantly not crowded. I can’t say much about the price, I just think flights are expensive no matter what hehe.

Thank you for the info. We like flying to SLC or Reno and then driving.

My preference for travelling to Elko is to fly into SLC.  No connections involved.

I know the feeling...  there's 2 flights per day, but they are expensive.   There's just no convenient way to get there.  Your other choice is to ride the shuttle bus (it's not cheap either) or drive the distance.  It's 4-5 hours from Reno or 3-4 hours from SLC.  Rental cars are still going for $200/day!

If you need help with reservations the best person to talk to would be me.

I just looked and I saw $50 a day for a car
And
$350 round trip to elko to California .

Another option was $100 to salt lake then the $50 casino bus.
Lots of options it isn’t as Inexpensive on every day but I am sure some days are more.

Another lady got 189 one way from
Texas

Delta
Kayak
And many others are good to check for prices too!
