The Row Sets $59 Hawk Fire Evacuee Rates in Reno

Silver Legacy, Eldorado, and Circus Circus Reno are offering $59 emergency rooms to people ordered out by the Hawk Fire, with resort fees waived for those bookings.

The overnight rate comes from a Saturday news release by The Row, the Caesars Entertainment complex that connects the three downtown hotels. Evacuees can call the reservation line or use promo code SCLOC26 when booking online.

What The Row is offering tonight

KOLO reported that The Row issued a Saturday release putting Silver Legacy, Eldorado, and Circus Circus Reno rooms at $59 a night for Hawk Fire evacuees, with complimentary resort fees. That is a different operator response from the Peppermill offer published earlier this month for the separate Bug Fire.

News 4 confirmed the same $59 rate, the waived resort fees, the 1-800-223-7277 phone line, and the SCLOC26 online code. Treat the code as case sensitive when the booking form rejects a mistyped string.

The hotels sit in downtown Reno under Caesars Entertainment. The Row brand covers the connected Silver Legacy, Eldorado, and Circus Circus campus, so one reservation desk can place guests across the three towers when rooms remain.

Inventory can move fast during an active evacuation evening. If the promo code fails or the phone queue is long, ask the agent to confirm whether the Hawk Fire emergency rate is still loaded before paying a rack rate.

Where the Hawk Fire is forcing people to move

The Hawk Fire started late Saturday morning near Somersett Golf and Country Club, north of Cold Creek Trail in northwest Reno. By Saturday afternoon, fire officials were reporting roughly 2,500 acres with no meaningful containment as dry fuels and gusty winds pushed growth.

Washoe County Emergency Management says GO NOW evacuation orders cover areas north and northwest of Somersett and north of Verdi, while GET SET warnings cover Golden Valley, Lemmon Valley, and Stead on the west side of U.S. 395. Exact polygons change, so the PerimeterMap link on the county page is the current boundary authority.

Local reporting also noted evacuation warnings extending into Sierra County, California, as smoke and fire behavior crossed the state line. Travelers approaching Reno from I-80 west should expect smoke, temporary trail closures such as Hawk Meadow Trail north of Somersett Parkway, and heavier emergency traffic near Peavine.

This is not a leisure hotel sale. The rate is framed for people under evacuation orders or warnings who need a downtown bed while the Hawk Fire remains active.

How to book without losing time

Start with the phone line if you are already packing or sitting in a vehicle. Call 1-800-223-7277, say you need the Hawk Fire evacuation rate, and ask which of the three Row hotels still has rooms tonight.

If you can book online, open the Silver Legacy reservation path linked by local stations, enter SCLOC26, and confirm that the nightly total shows $59 before resort taxes rather than a discounted regular rate with fees still attached.

Ask whether identification or an evacuation notice is required at check-in. Some emergency hotel offers verify residency or zone status at the desk even when the booking engine does not ask for proof online.

Keep a second option ready. Downtown inventory can sell out, and other Reno operators sometimes open separate fire rates for neighboring incidents without sharing the same promo code.

If you cannot pay for a hotel, go to the Evelyn Mount Northeast Community Center at 1301 Valley Road in Reno. Washoe County says Human Services, Allied Security, and American Red Cross of Nevada staff are receiving Hawk Fire evacuees there.

Write down the confirmation number and hotel tower name before you leave the booking screen. Downtown wayfinding is easy in daylight, but smoke and temporary road blocks can make a late arrival harder if you only saved a vague “Reno casino” note.

If you are traveling with pets, ask about pet rooms while the agent still has inventory. Emergency rates do not always unlock every room category, and pet-friendly floors can sell first on evacuation nights.

What this means if you are already traveling through Reno

Hotel guests who are not under evacuation orders should not assume the $59 rate applies to leisure stays. The Row release targets people displaced by the Hawk Fire, and agents can refuse the code for ordinary leisure demand.

If your downtown hotel sits outside the evacuation polygons but smoke is heavy, ask the front desk about late checkout, room changes, and filtration before canceling a prepaid reservation. Cancellation rules vary by rate plan.

Drivers on I-80, U.S. 395, and the Verdi approaches should check NV Energy outage maps and current Washoe traffic feeds before committing to a late arrival. Smoke can reduce visibility even when roads remain open.

Air travelers using Reno-Tahoe International Airport should build extra curb-to-gate time. Wildfire days often add congestion on airport approaches even when flights continue.

How this differs from the earlier Bug Fire hotel offers

Deep Arrival previously covered Peppermill Reno’s Bug Fire evacuee rates earlier in August. That stream belonged to a different fire complex, a different hotel operator, and an earlier containment timeline.

Do not reuse a Bug Fire promo code for the Hawk Fire booking, and do not assume Peppermill inventory is part of The Row offer. Confirm the property name on the confirmation email before driving across town.

Washoe County’s Bug and Stallion updates from mid-August also show how quickly residential orders can lift once containment rises. The Hawk Fire is still in the explosive early phase, so tonight’s lodging decision should follow today’s PerimeterMap rather than last week’s fire names.

Keep checking Washoe County and The Row channels through the evening.

Fire perimeters, warning zones, and hotel inventory can all change after the first local newscast, so refresh the map before you drive to a locked-in address.
