Location

This year's Pro International will be at the Legion Sports Fest in Reno Nevada! While we compete on Sunday, I encourage all the athletes to check out the expo on Saturday. There's plenty of sports to watch and booths to visit.

Contest Hotel

The Atlantis Casino Resort Spa is located at 3800 S Virginia St, Reno, NV, 89502. Not only is it right next to the convention center, it has a bridge connecting the hotel to the expo so no driving required! There's plenty of great restaurants and a buffet inside for you all to load up before the comp!
