Las Vegas said its 2026 schedule includes 18 games against Reno. (milb.com) That made the homestand part of a larger baseball calendar, not a one-off event.

(rgj.com) The ballpark wrapped each game in a different promotion. Tuesday was Micheladas de Reno and Taco Tuesday, Wednesday was WILD Wednesday, Thursday was Reno Silver Sox Throwback Thursday, Friday was Fireworks Friday and Donate Life Night, Saturday was Mickey Mouse Night, and Sunday was Family Sunday with Dog Day at the Park. (visitrenotahoe.com) Those promotions mixed baseball with local discounts and themed branding. Reno advertised two street tacos for $5 on Tuesday, $10.29 infield reserve tickets with a code on Wednesday, $2 Coors Lights on Thursday, and $1.50 hot dogs on Sunday.

The Aces said April 14 was the first of three Micheladas games scheduled for 2026. (milb.com) Thursday’s Reno Silver Sox branding reached further back into local baseball history. The Aces said the Thursday identity honors Northern Nevada’s original professional baseball team, while the Visit Reno Tahoe listing said the club uses it every Thursday this season. (milb.com) By Sunday afternoon, the homestand had done what these April Triple-A series are built to do: fill six dates on the local events calendar, give Reno a steady run of downtown games, and send the Aces back on the road after a full week against Las Vegas.
