How far is the Hotels, car show, and dragstrip from Harrahs Casino?

Roll the dice & find out when you get there.

I think it's 11 exits from the hotel, and like 8 from the track...I believe it's on the Missouri side of the river, so the only down side is you'll have to cross the bridge...but it's still easily within 10 minutes...

Ok...that's the one across town...I was thinking it was one of those near the arch, which would be within 10 minutes...

Is everyone staying at the fairfield?...

Go back to the Homepage and click on the link for the 2005 SCR. Scroll down for hotel info. Best to stay at the Holiday Inn if there are any rooms left. The late night parking lot bench racing sessions are one of the best parts of the show.

Sam a bunch of us are staying at the Fairfield. But either hotel works well and is walking distance to the convention center. I think the Holiday Inn SYC rate has expired though.

Harrahs is flying me in and paying for everything so I have a pretty nice suite there but I may also get a room at the Fairfield just to hang out. You have that number?
