Anybody know if you can rent MINIs out there if you don't have the time to drive out from the east coast?

 

The 1st MINI I saw on the road here was a rental from Dream Car Rentals. I don't know if they still have them, but I'll see if I can find out.

<edit>
I just called Dream Car Rentals, they no longer have any MINIs, and the woman said that no-one else in town has any for rent. That's not a guarantee that there aren't any for rent however.

Are you able to reserve rooms yet??

thanks!

I haven't recieved the details yet on how the reservations will be handled. Once I do, I will post on the www.AMVIV.com site and email everyone who asked to be added to the mailing list (I already added you EP).

LAst time I was in Vegas, we rented a vette from RAV (rent a vette) and they had 1 or 2 mini S for rent. Not sure if they still ahve them, but worth a call.

Just called Rent-A-Vette (702) 736-2592 and they have 2 Cooper S hardtops (one is an MC40) and 1 MCS convertible. Hardtops are $99 for 1 day, $89 per day for a weekend. MCSC was $179 for one day (may be lower for a weekend). Those prices may change by March.

 

Thanks Argo! I appreciate the quick response. I will check the website often. BTW, very cool site!!

Palace Station . . . I just realized that's where their security dragged that obnoxious woman out of the lobby. According to reports, she later died.

Will the gorillas be tame by then?

 

I make no promises. However, I'd like to point out that I've never had any kind of problem in a casino (other than losing money of course ) in a number of years of visiting and living in Vegas.

Generally, casino employees who are *******s don't work there very long. They reduce tips and make everyone else working there get less money. The security people tend to be large and focussed individuals, but that's why they are there. I've gambled at Palace Station about 6 times in the last 2 months. I didn't even notice the security people.
