Biggest Mercedes Only Event Of The Year In Las Vegas!!!!

Hey people. Some of you know me, some don't. You guys figure it out

But anyhoo, I was throwing the idea around of an immense get together, involving members of many Mercedes forums (ie. MBworld, MB shop, BNZ etc...).

Something in Las Vegas. The location I chose was for various reasons:
a) Coolness factor of Vegas!
b) Kinda more located in "the middle," thus allowing members from the midwest to join up on the fun
c) The drive to the location must be fun all in itself! LONNNNGGG Caravans of Mercedes only!
d) Mercedes, Vegas, and our friends, man, that's priceless!


So then we'd have to find a venue to pull something off like that. I'm thinking there would be probably 100's or cars or so! Somewhere cheap, maybe not so cheap like the convention center. Maybe there would be an entrance fee to cover costs but mostly it would be a free event.

What do you guys think?

edit: The time Im shooting for would be around august or so maybe july or who knows maybe later!

Find a few sponsers. If there are sponsers than it would make the GTG worthwhile. If not, its just a nice cruise to Vegas.

Sounds like lots of fun if it can be pulled off successfully. It'll be like the annual biker gang gtg's I keep hearing about on the news. Except of course, there won't be any gun fights.

Sponsors shouldn't be too hard to come by. I'm thinking Mercedes tuners and shops would be down for it.

Need more feedback

You should try to contact the Las Vegas Speedway, and see if they will allow a "meet" in the in-field...or worse...parking lot


And get some REAL sponser(s)...so we can drive our cars on the speedway !!

And you better hook up all the guys to the Gentlemen's Club for the after hour party/GTG. Or the "ranch"!

December is a nice time to go to vegas. Unless we can find an indoor hall then who cares about the heat.

I don't know about anyone else but the hotter it is the less clothes the models will be wearing, and that's ok with me. Great motivation for wet t-shirt contest! There will be the typical import models there right? Quick, someone call Kineda!


But dude, Vegas? I know that the majority of people into the scene are in Cali, but that makes trying to get involved even more difficult for those of us living on the door step to hell (NYC).

If the sponsors will give $1000 bucks (Yeah right) to those traveling from coast to coast I'd do it but damn, that's a lot of driving.
