Are there any major differences between the venues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 @Praefectus Pueblo and Tucson CC are primarily fossils/minerals/meteorite but 22nd Street show is in a huge tent with lots of trinkets/junk and a few nice fossil dealers. If you're interested..only change is that the Pueblo was the Ramada Inn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praefectus Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 @Troodon Thanks. Tucson sounds really fun. I won't be able to make it there this year, but I'm planning to go in 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont use any accommodations since I live in the area so I'm not a good one to offer advice. Best bet is to scour the internet for hotels close to interstate 10 north toward Marana.

Haravex Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 thinking has anyone thought about trying airbnb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamptonsDoc Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I normally stay here: Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Tucson City Center, AZ 705 N Freeway, Tucson, AZ 85745 Prices are inflated significantly for the show but its a perfect location, directly next door to one of the major fossil shows. Hotel is clean and breakfast is included. Might already be sold out though... I reserved my room in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I hope to be able to go at least 1 day. Will miss most but get back to AZ around Feb 13th so maybe the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please understand photos and video made public by well-meaning show visitors are also providing footage for thieves to use. Stuff gets stolen every year.

jpc Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 20 yrs ago, I went down spontaneously... i.e no hotel room. Everything in Tucson was way overpriced or sold out or both. I stayed for very cheap in Nogales. Cheap trucker hotel might not be for everyone, but it is there, an hour south of Tucson. There is also camping to found on Mt Lemmon. (One M or two?)

Always important to ask before you take pictures. Most dealers are ok with it but there are a few who are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Agree I've taken tons of photos to post here and for future reference but I ALWAYS ask if its acceptable. Like HamptonsDoc said most are fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
