Default Las Vegas

I'm heading out to Vegas next week and my buddy and I might rent some Harleys. Anyone rent in Vegas before. I know there is a Dealer and an EagleRider rental place in town. Any advice?

Also, does Nevada have a helmet law?

Yes it does....:-) AZ does not, UT does not, CA does, that should do it for neighboring states.

Nev definitely has a helmet law. Been there many, many times and I've never seen a rider without one.

I've never rented a bike there, but a coworker of mine did. They took it out for a run over Hoover Dam. Said they had a great day. I don't think you can actually ride over the dam anymore since 9/11. Might just be a rumor I heard. He had no trouble with the rental, just said that costs more than it should have.

Yeah, the rental prices are usually about the same as my monthly payment for my own bike but I do it anyway and haven't regretted it yet.

I rented from the Eaglerider in Vegas...it was actually located at a HD dealer. You do have to wear a helmet in NV....that said...even in non helmet states, you have to take a helmet when you rent....they're attitude is...you are supposed to wear the helmet at all times when you rent from them...but...if we don't see it...wink wink...
Anyway....I had a good experience with Eaglerider in Vegas...and the price wasn't outrageous. Lots of great riding around there too...Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Damn...lake meade...vally of fire.
Enjoy!

Yeah, when I rented in San Antonio we drove a mile down the road and I used a cargo net to strap the helmets to the back. Stopped at the same place on the way back to put them back on. They had to know. I had a sunburn on my forehead.

I was there in Mar and we rented from LV HD. The wife and I rode through the Valley of Fire Sate Park and then went to Hoover Dam. There were RV's/Trucks and vehicles with trailers going across. You are better of just parking and walking around. Call ahead for your rentals I stopped in on Sat for a mon rental and I was happy with the selection but several personnel were coming in without reservations and they did not have enough for every person.

In response to vericulum, youstated that Eaglerider was at the harley shop, when would that have been?. I rented twice 04,05 and it is located at 5182 S. Arville Street. I always called ahead and gotten my requests for what bike I wanted to ride.Great people to deal with. And prices cheaper than Las Vegas Harley.....BearC.Paw.....

Be careful. The Las Vegas freeway is just about the most dangerous piece of roadway in the world.
