A great venue for a multitude of various types of events from Monster Jam to the Reno Rodeo. They provide a number of family-friendly events that even my smallest kids enjoy. The downside: the price tag. Every time we go, it's literally hundreds of dollars between the show tickets, parking and concessions. It would be nice to be able to take the family out without breaking the bank. The easiest way to get more for your money is research the event you want to attend and get BOGOs or special pricing by buying tickets in advance. Parking off the lot in surrounding neighborhoods (in legal parking spots) and walking to the venue will save as well. Lastly, eat before you arrive and only plan to "snack" while you're there. It's mostly crappy concession-type food anyway, so you won't be missing out on much. And some events are general seating only (no assigned seats) so if you want a good spot, get there early or prepare to squint.
