Couple suggestions.

Those who visit other Porsche boards please cross-pollinate this event. More the merrier.

Get a block of rooms lined up somewhere, like the Rio(I'm not a fan of the strip).

Come up with a quirky but memorable name so we can rally around it and lord it over those not in the know. I was thinking 'Porsch-gasm Vegas' - clearly, I'm not very creative.

Make this a sticky please mods/admin?

It doesn't matter where we stay as long as it's Encore, Aria or Cosmo. I do have my standards.

I will gamble anywhere as long as it's not Caesar's. I can't go back there.

Any strip club is good so long as it starts with Spearmint and ends in Rhino.

June is great since I will likely be at the pool while you guys waste your time at the track.

I'm not very picky...

Don't be so self absorbed doc. We can't wait to see if you are as grouchy of an old cuss in person as you are online! Looking forward to it!

Count me in by the way.

Just had a week at the green valley ranch for work. Nice place, cute baristas at the Starbucks inside.

I was channeling my inner Groucho; 'I would not want to be a member, of any club which would have someone like me as a member'.

Oh, and get the hell off my lawn! whippersnapper.....

I am liking the constructive suggestions.

Definitely distribute this to other Porsche forums and friends.

+1 on the name idea as well. My take - Rennrun 2017- Las Vegas, feel free to make your own suggestions.

I will employ B3Freak to make a solid flyer once name, itinerary, and locations are finalized so that can be distributed.

Local Vegas people who are interested in helping and have suggestions for roads and events, post up and PM me with your contact #.

I will work on getting this wrapped up before the end of the year, so come 2017 the entire enterprise is set in stone.

Does the Porschepalooza Vegas Run include a track day?
Does the 996 Strip Club Run include antibiotics?
Either way, I'm game.

And with enough people on two-way radios and a concerted effort, some triple digit runs could happen without you-know-who citing anyone. What a second! Did I write that or just think that? Never mind... sort of

Right now this is what I have:

Flat6Music

Proposed itinerary for Saturday, 6/10/2017. This is being copy-pasted from excel, so formatting doesn't transfer.

10:00-17:00 Scenic Drive through Valley of Fire Park to Overton, to Hover Damn, back to the LV. Lunch at Overton.
17:00-18:30 Free time for participants to get to their hotels, get changed, park cars, take Uber/cab to night portion of the event.
