CAL.
is the rumor true about this years show, that there will be a charge to get into the car show? unfortunately this year i will not be attending. i've attended the last 4 yrs. my wife was a vendor up at the ballroom. this year should fill the top floor for sure.
OH DEAR, we'll have none of that. Actually, if anyone wants to show up in Vegas that weekend with a bike, or car/personality too obnoxious for the casino lot, let me know. I have a place that welcomes bikes and ***holes on the strip. Big lot, cheap booze, cheaper ******s, bad neighborhood. I'm not trying to start any ****, just offering a second stop, or alternative. Anybody interested can PM me. If there is enough interest I'll make it happen.
Axle.....Someone saw a hot rod on my screen saver at work and they asked. "Are you going to that thing in Las Vegas?" They were not a car person but had heard of it, I agree this one sounds like it will be huge. Good luck to you and the boys.
Man, I can't wait. Rooms should still be available. My girlfriend just booked our trip LAST WEEK. The flight from NY & back,4 nites at flimingo,transfers & touristy vouchers for less than $1100. You can still get good deals at the last minuite. See ya there. Billy
I hate all of you..............another year we will be missing this makes me so freaking happy to live in WI.............
Living in WI is no excuse, people have been managing to make it from around the globe for years, wish you could enjoy it with us. This is the event I think about all winter up here in the Colorado high country. Pulled my Deuce out of mothballs last weekend and fired that Hemi up for the first time since November, gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. After a long Colorado winter, spring fever is ignited by knowing VLV is coming soon. Coming in on Wednesday, lookin' forward to seeing everybody. Johnnie
I SWEAR by next year we are going to make it to this i read bout it every year and get so depressed hopes its a great time for all that can go safe rodding
My wife and I are really looking forward to our trip out there to be a part of the fun and party, it's our 1st time....and I just stocked up on batteries for the camera and got a 1-Gigg memory card for it too....so there will be lot's of pictures to share. See ya there !
The Spirit of Modesto boys are my bro's.....Brian runs our NorCal chapter.... Glad theyre headed down Axle.
Me and the future Mrs are flying in. Can't wait! Our singer Dday is coming too and he's a Viva Virgin. We'll bring some of our new cd too. Best $5 you'll ever spend. hahaha
Count me in, after all the snow, I can't wait to get to VLV. The car show sounds like it's going to be even more amazing this year!
Anyone have any ideas of where to look for an available hotel room near by? I figure any very close have been booked forever. Is it a lost cause to try and find a room this late?
Mike...nowhere is that far away in Vegas, just get a cab, the strip isn't that big. Cool Danger Mouse avatar, by the way.
Ya...I'm sure there are rooms somewhere, there are so many hotels in Vegas. I might try and make it to the show, I'm still kicking myself for missing the lasy two. Thanks...I thought it was a cool avatar too when I found it. I still remember watching that show when I was little.
Vegas has like 300,000 rooms, Viva is barely a bubble in the stew for the hotel room business for most of the town. You probably won't get a room next door but within 2 or 3 miles is a cinch.
funny rick. there is no charge for the car show.it will allways be free. there are more people that are pre registered for vlv than there was total last year....and we havent even seen the numbers of walk-in's yet. again, for you guys who appreciate real quality rockin music (like nads) this years band line up is the best! www.vivalasvegas.net
i thought they were putting up speed bumps and makin it harder to **** around in the parking lot? maybe it was just a rumor, but i thought the hotel management was crackin down on crazed greaser madness. i hope not last year was killer.
I just took my olds on a 300 mile shakedown cruise saturday and it went off without a hitch so now I'm going to focus on the visual items. I cant wait damnit. Need some time off........
there is a hotel within walking distance- literaly .1 miles away and i they should still have cheap rooms- here a link to their info- with a map- http://www.smartpages.com/home/extendedstayamerica144;jsessionid=ZXAR0ECRA0IOJQFI4GCRF2Q
WTF? Crazed Greaser Madness? How about stupid ****ing idiots! The parking lot was packed with *****s and ***holes! All waiting to **** each other. hopefully they will put speed bumps in the parking lot. It might do some good. Too many ***holes in one place for me.
Shut up Mike, you ****ing *****! This is rich, coming from the biggest ***hole on this, or any other planet
Actually I agree with you, *****. Some tool from your neck of the woods, the old one, took me for a ride in his Model A, he was trying to impress me or some ****. I told him I didn't want him to peel out or do anything stupid, 'sho enuff the dumb **** peeled out with people standing all around. I was emarr***ed to even be seen coming out of that car. Stupid ****ing kids, I'd like take away their driving priveleges.
