West coast meet up in las vegas?

There has been lots of talk about having a National type meet up in Las Vegas and have ask me to get it started. So this is me getting it started with the help of all of you.

But first this is for the people who don't know me. My name is Jimmy, I am the organizer/president of SinCitySmarts. We are a long over due car club out of Las Vegas Nv. We started with 2 cars and now have 21... and growing.

So before I go knockin on doors and putting together a weekend package deal for smart car owners in my home town, The Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada, I need to know how many people would come here For a National type Meet-Up? and what would you like to do while you were here?

If I were to put together something right now it would include something like: 2 nights Hotel, Saturday Morning car run either to Red Rock, Mt. Charelston or the Hoover Dam, maybe a nice dinner and a show Saturday night, or maybe even the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. There is lots to do here it's just figuring what...

So if this sounds like a weekend you would like to be a part of, speak up so we can grab the attention of some big time sponsors and make this dream a reality, I'm talking about attendees and vendors...


Thanks Jimmy

Sometime in the Spring, maybe April/May,
before it gets to hot...

List of places I plan to visit:

Death Valley on the way over...
Red Rock Canyon
Valley of Fire
See the new Hoover Dam Bypass
Boulder City Railroad
Pawn Star's Pawn Shop
The Strip, I think the last time I was there, was 1988 ..

I haven't been to Vegas since 1983, ending a three year residence there at that time. There's no way I'd be able to attend. But, as a former resident, my two favorite things in the area were Mt. Charleston and Hoover Dam. IMO, either one would make a great drive for the gathering, but the mountain gets the edge. OH, and definitely in the cooler months, just in case anyone would like to get out of their cars.

I would consider driving down in one of my smarts from British Columbia for a major meeting in Las Vegas. Perhaps a few others would too.

Jimmy,

We would be in and will help you if needed.

The best time for us would be after April.

CONTACT THE ORGANIZERS FOR THE LAST 1 AND SEE HOW THEY DID IT (?)
MAYBE YOUD LIKE TO HAVE SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS DOING CERTAIN JOBS AND TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THEm DAILY.
OPPS
ok were back now.
like have 2 -3 for advertising to spread the good word, put a flier toghther that can be distributed everywhere.
another 1-2 to gather donations from smart dealers, accessories, wheel n tire shops, passes for shows, car museums, buy1 get 1 such as plane rides in the canyon
somebody involved with getting a list together with things to do, dates and times.
id stay away from the refund problem i dont think it went over well.
maybe someone to contact the vendors and keep them on a heads up program.
check with the casinos and ask if they have some promotional items
im just bored and throwing alot of ideas out there.
iduno

what can i do?

those clear plastic stands with a flier in it would be nice to display where possible but $$$

If it's held in the cooler months, you can count us in.
