When you make reservation for Grand Sierra on hotel.com, the 3rd night is free. So if you plan on staying 3 nights, the rate averages to $39/night/room, which is a mighty good deal.
Make sure you print your hotel.com reservation confirmation, and you get 30% off adult lift ticket at Mount Rose.

-----------------
So here's some updates:
(1) We have booked at Grand Sierra (http://www.grandsierraresort.com/), the rate is $59/night/room, and if you are a AAA member, the rate would be $53 instead. Some rooms in this hotel allow pets, so there will be $20 extra per night if you are bringing your pet. This hotel also has a bowling alley, an arcade, a movie theatre, go cart, and miniature golf for the kids.
(2) Event 1 on Monday will be buffet dinner at Grand Sierra, after dinner, the kids can hangout together for bowling, movies, or come to our kids room to just hangout together or for card/board games.
If your family would like to join us, please go ahead and make your hotel reservations, then let me know the dates you will be joining us (and your suggestions too), no later than 12/11 so I can plan the group events.
Cheers,
Wendar

Dear Watermark Families,
Several of us who are part of the Watermark family are planning to have a short winter holiday trip together, and we would like to extend this invitation to all of the WM families:
Event 1 on 12/26, Monday: Group buffet dinner at one of the Reno casinos (TBD), kids can hang out afterwards, so can the parents.
Event 2 on 12/27, Tuesday: Skiiing or snow boarding at Mount Rose near Reno (Those who don't ski or snow board can hang out together for other activities. Some families will arrive on Mon. 12/26, some will depart late Tues 12/27, and some will stay more days for other activities or more skiing, we can organize the detail once we have the the number of families attending and their schedules)
Possible Event 3 on 12/28, Wednesday: Can be skiing at the same or different ski resort, or group outing to Tahoe or Truckee. Please feel free to suggest.
Casno Hotel Choices: the choice of casino hotels are El Dorado (http://www.eldoradoreno.com/) and Silver Legacy (http://www.silverlegacyreno.com/, $59.99/room) because they are connected, so is Circus Circus. Another hotel with a very good deal is Grand Sierra, but it is less convenient since it's driving distance from the El Dorado and Silver Legacy.
If your family would like to join us, please go ahead and make your hotel reservations, then let me know the dates you will be joining us (and your suggestions too), no later than 12/11 so I can plan the group events.
Happy Holidays,
Wendar
