It's AMVIV, not a normal trip to Vegas and the strip (if I were coming to Vegas for that, sure I'd probably go somewhere else). Being there (at the Palace Station) and being able to hang out at all hours of the day and night is more than half the reason for going. It's not just the organized drives, but the chance to socialize, and the location is great for that.

Thanks go out to COOPERation. I contacted him about coming up with an updated DevilMINI for our club shirts and he responded in a couple of hours with 4 options and included a couple of new sig images for me. I loved the picture in my old sig, but that SCMC logo and the rendering of my car are fantastic.

Um..yeah. We're still arguing about if we should go to Goodsprings and Sandy Valley, and if we don't, where to go instead. We're also working on ideas for people who don't want to do the full-day runs to Oatman and Death Valley. Most likely, not motoring events, but cool things that many Vegas visitors don't even know about.

I know this is a MINI event but I just noticed Dave Matthews is playing at the MGM. Is anyone planning on going? I'm not sure I can pass up a Dave show if I get the opportunity to come out.
Which by the way is looking more and more like I will be flying out there and not bringing the car which sucks but my time is getting more and more limited so the drive would eat up too much time.

Whatever you wanna do, go ahead. This event is about Vegas almost as much as MINIs and Minis. The fact that there's so much to do is why we always leave at least 1 night with nothing much happening. If you can't find a way to enjoy yourself in Vegas, you don't WANT to enjoy yourself! Not everyone is into the same things, I'm not going to be offended if you blow off the Strip Cruise or the dinner to see a concert.
Freemont Street is killer

The Fremont Street Experience is IMO the best free show in Vegas. Any time I have out-of-town visitors, I make sure to take them downtown to see it. Of course, Fremont St itself is cool. It's the old Vegas you used to see in movies and on TV. The giant cowboy (Vegas Vic), the Glitter Gulch, Golden Nugget, Binions Horseshoe (now just Binions and the home of the World Series of Poker until 2005). All that history and coolness.
If Glitter Gulch is your kind of place (home of the "No Underpants Club"), I'm told that there are MUCH better places closer to Palace Station.

What is killing me right now is my travel for the month of March and how I will probably have to fly out there for the weekend sicne I won't have the time to dedicate to the drive. I really wanted to drive the car out and have some fun.

Dammit! 
You guessed! Now we have to work out another theme for the Poker Run. Can't make it the "No Underpants Poke Her Run" any more.
