BLFC makes accommodations for those who have impairments to make lines and events more accessible. This page details the measures we have taken to make the con as enjoyable and accessible as possible for you.

For hotel related issues such as checking in, restaurant/bar service, and similar, flag down a GSR staff member and they will be able to assist you.

Accessibility for Mobility Impaired

• Elevators
  • Spa Level: We manage elevator queues on the spa level. People with mobility impairments can skip to the front of the queue.
  • Casino Level: Accessibility is subject to hotel policy. GSR staff members can assist you.
  • To Get Between Only Spa Level and Casino Level: There’s a small “bonus” elevator that runs between the White Rabbit theater and the bowling center. This elevator is rarely used and is a great alternative when the main elevators are busy.
• Registration
  • Registration operates an “express lane” that prioritizes people with mobility limitations.
• Dealers Den
  • The Dealers Den has a dedicated accessibility line. A member of Crowd Management can assist you with entry.
• Events
  • Large Audiences: Mobility-impaired individuals can skip to the front of the line, and usually have reserved seating near the front of the audience.

Airport Transportation with a Mobility Device

Flying into Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) with a mobility device? Unfortunately, the GSR airport shuttles aren’t equipped with chair lifts, but the hotel does have a workaround for guests with large mobility devices.

• Getting to the Hotel: Before you arrive, call the GSR and let them know you will need a wheelchair-accessible taxi from Reno Sparks Cabs. They will either arrange the taxi for you, or reimburse you for the cab fare (roughly $25) when you reach the hotel.
• Returning to the Airport: Let the GSR front desk know the date and time you will need your ride. They will arrange the taxi and provide a voucher for the fare.

Reno Sparks Cabs is the only local taxi company with wheelchair-accessible vehicles, so please remind the desk staff to order your ride from them.

Accessibility for Hearing Impaired

We hire ASL interpreters (if available) for major events like opening and closing ceremonies. For other events, we can hire ASL interpreters on request. Check “I would like to request ASL interpreters” when registering online; you will be given a copy of the schedule when it’s ready so you can tell us which events you’d like interpreters at. We will make every effort to hire them for the events you’ve requested, subject to availability of interpreters.
