LACB32 Goes To Reno!

LACB32 is at the Nugget Casino in Reno, NV, in conjunction with Hook'23, 24-27 August, 2023.

This is an exciting new direction for us. We will have a ready room convenient to the main floor exhibit area, full access to the exhibits as well as all Hook events. And, of course, we’ve set aside an evening for squadron dinners.

Registration Is Open

LACB32 registration is open and is being done via Hook'23 registration. Check out who has registered so far. If you haven’t registered, see the Registration Instructions for the details on how to do that. The trip to Fallon for a tour of Top Gun is fully booked, but you can still sign up for the wait list. There are usually last minute cancellations.


Room reservations are also open (click the above button) and again we are making them through Hook'23 to get their negotiated rate. Make your reservations soon to ensure that you get a room at the Reno Nugget and not at one of the overflow hotels. DO NOT go wandering and make a reservation at the Las Vegas Nugget; it's a long commute!
