Bwaaahaaahahaaaa - j/k, I have a feeling crashing would be a really, really bad idea. As RGJ reporters can attest...

For folks going to the GF event, what's your take on the hotel? Go with the Whitney at the Tesla rate ($95/night), or the Atlantis at the TMC Connect rate ($179). They're 3 miles apart, easily Uber or Lyftable.

This one will be open til the wee hours. (Or I'd never hear the end of it from brianman or rolosrevenge.)
Just sayin'...

No, they're up. That pic was taken prior to the fine work you did.
I've stayed at both during my location scouting last year and visited again in recent weeks. Really apples and oranges. The Whitney is nice, but a much smaller hotel (no pool or hot tub, IIRC). Last year I had actually considered doing our event at the Whitney since our group would take over most of the hotel, so we'd have the place mostly to ourselves. But that was the only real advantage. Turns out on our event weekend there's some other unrelated group using all the meeting spaces and taking up the rest of the sleeping rooms at the Whitney.
The Atlantis is really on a different level.

Kraken and I are all signed up! Super excited for the short drive to Reno 
P.S. Would anyone be interested in doing a little ice-breaker before or after registration on Thursday. Break-Through Reno has some pretty fun escape rooms. We've found they are a great way to get out meet new people. Kraken and I have done all their current rooms and really enjoyed all of them. They should be opening a new one soon so hopefully it will be available so we can partake as well. They have 3 different rooms right now (hopefully 4 soon), up to 6 people per room, cost is $20/person and lasts one hour.

Doug, would it be possible to request a separate tour of the Gigafactory for those attending the TMC conference ... this would be a big draw!

Thanks,
What's better or more convenient to the conference? The View rooms or Tower rooms?

I'm booked. TMC Connect coincided with my anniversary the last two years, so to stay married I had to miss the conference. I haven't attended since TESLIVE in 2013, so I am looking forward to attending this year. I would agree with brianman that staying at the Atlantis is likely to be really convenient for conference attendees if you can swing it. It's always nice to be able to run upstairs to grab something you forgot, brush your teeth, change clothes if the temperature at the event is not to your liking, not have to worry about driving after drinks or waiting for a cab, etc. Especially if you are going to be doing events all 3 days. And I say this as a dedicated tightwad (not that many people believe that after seeing my cars, but it's true).
I suspect (I am just guessing) Doug has asked Tesla for a Gigafactory tour for TMC Connect participants. I also suspect (guessing again) that even if Tesla says "yes", they will not commit until the last minute. So my advice for optimal mental health is to assume you will not get to go; and who knows, maybe you will get a pleasant surprise.
I have enough referrals that I should be going to the GF event...as long as Tesla sends me the invite before, say, July 29.

I'll try to say more soon, but just wanted to let you folks know that we're adding one of my favorite people, George Blankenship, to our speaker list.

The layout of hotel would be the same distance to the second floor sky bridge and onto the convention center. The question would be how much do you like to be at higher floor? Tower room are located at lower (12 floor and down) and view room are at higher floor.
