Default Las Vegas BikeFest

Bikefest starts Thurdsay, anyone going? Been to all the others, each is better than the last. Pretty hard not to have a good time in Las Vegas.

Yep, the wife and I are heading out early Thursday afternoon. I have gone every year also and I agree... you have to go out of your way not to have a good time in Vegas!

I wish I could.....I'll be fishing in Mammoth this weekend. Plus, I was in Vegas over Labor Day weekend and I'm still trying to recover!

Outstanding party! I think they estimated 35,000+ people, and I wouldn't doubt it. Rides were great, Vendor Village and Artistry in Iron were outstanding. Concerts at the Center and on Fremont St. were fantastic. Make plans now for next year!

A look down Fremont St. with a warm up band playing. 38 Special was the featured group, the warm up band was better.

The parking lot at the Vendor Village. The whole inside expo center was full, and all outside booths were filled. The first year the village was in the parking lot of a hotel.
