Running this up the flagpole to see if there is any interest in a Las Vegas rally in say mid May. Maybe give Dwight and Judie a break from SWTF hosting.
We have a member who could arrange some pretty significant discounts on hotel rooms.

Dunno if it'll happen yet. Went for a ride with billpvegas this morning and thought we'd test the waters.

GOLLY? You can't say that anymore, Karl. You'll get beat up by the REAL bikers on here!   Maybe you oughta lay off them "Gilligan's Island" reruns for a while! On a like note, was watching an old "Batman" tv series rerun today (yeah, now we'll BOTH get beat up!) and I'm pretty sure I spotted the villan, False Face(?) make his escape on a 1960s Triumph 500 cc high pipe scrambler!

Sounds good, but AmyLee and I will be busy mid May (Armed Forces Day) with our American Legion/VFW duties.

I may be interested too. I'd been wanting to head back down that way since Z, and Rocket Bob and I came down in 2011. I do love Lost Wages, I mean Las Vegas.

Gordie, you would just leave a day early and meet up with me in Portland, and we ride out from here.

As per my PM to you Bill, "golly" , I'd definitely be up for a little Sin City action as this year's version of the SWTF! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

It's a forum thing. A few of us live here in Las Vegas so it seemed like it might be a good idea before it gets too hot.

Bill -
I am a maybe for mid-may in Vegas!!! Just don't know what the new job is going to entail (see my FB post), so not sure of what time off I will have in the first couple months. But if I can get a Thurs/Fri off, I would love to make it!

Just a thought, how about the end of April, during the http://www.laughlinriverrun.com/ and have a run down to the event with a loop through Oatman/Kingman and back to Las Vesas via the dam?

Ok, let's leave it to those who will be attending. The weekend before, the weekend after, or the weekend of the Laughlin River Run?
What say you all?

Sounds like a great plan! Longer drive than Sedona, BUT the 70-15 route will make it several hours shorter.
Looking forward to seeing the old gang, again.

Weekend before doesn't work for me - have plans as it is Easter. Weekend after would work - that is the first weekend in May (hope the weather cooperates).

Ok, bad news here. Due to an unforeseen problem, I won't be able to host a rally this spring  Maybe someone else will take it, so sorry.
