Default Anybody here from Vegas

We decided to take a trip to Vegas and my first time there, leaving Sunday from Canada,was hoping to rent a Harley for an afternoon, maybe monday or tuesday since i haven't ridden since november, sure would feel good to ride maybe up to hoover dam or something. Anyone here from there, maybe meet up at Las Vegas HD

Not from Las Vegas, but there are some good rides. Hoover Dam is nice. Take the road through Lake Mead to Overton. Some of the best 55 miles you'll travel. If you have time, do a overnighter to Zion.

Will not be able to ride w/u but Lake shore drive along the lake is nice! Good Springs near Jean has the Pioneer Saloon( http://www.pioneersaloon.info/ ) , Mountain Springs Bar at the top of the pass (off hwy 160) not sure its open week days but would be nice ride after doing the Red Rock Scenic loop Just head west on Charleston Pay the Ranger fee when you exit turn right to 160 turn right up the Mountain you will see it on the right after the volunteer fire station.

I'm not from LV, but have used Eagle Riders to rent from. Just a suggestion. Red Rocks Canyon is a good short ride there also.



Red Rocks info.............Have a good time. I'll be down there in three weeks.............
