I can help plan the drives....

I will be driving one of the routes this weekend, as the IMS is now complete and I can really open her up :-)

As far as hotels go options are: Gold Coast Hotel + Casino, Stratosphere, Monte Carlo, or Treasury Island.
stay downtown, they've really upped the game in old vegas, plus the drinks and food are a ton cheaper

Cool ^^. Iko, do you have any color on the LVMS rates? I am thinking of renting both the short circuit and drag strip for 2-3 hours on Sunday. If you can get any color on that, would appreciate it.

Well, I guess I'll be there one way or another. If I sell my car I'll come over anyway or might have a coupe by then.

Won't need a place to stay though as I will stay with friends.

Saturday itinerary looks great Kalash, should be a fun one. I'm probably headed down to Vegas again for a long Christmas weekend and some climbing at Red Rock. Get to take the 996 this time, will post a pic of the awesome roads in case anyone's on the fence.

I would love to join in this (and live within very reasonable driving distance), but I don't have much interest in a June time frame. Count me in on a 'cooler' time of year in Vegas.

sorry for delay in reply

I do know some people at LVMS and can check... but I don't think we'll like it. Local Porsche club once did events there and the costs went out of control.

I can ask for a ballpark figure

Good info Iko.

Right now for "driving" event on Sunday, I am 50/50 between track rental for us and doing go-kart racing for couple of hours. With Karts, everyone will get to drive and chances of someone ending up with big $$$ due to engine failure are low.

i would vote for karting as I don't think I would push it on a track.

I'm definitely possibly maybe still considering thinking about possibly considering the idea of perhaps studying the feasibility of conceivably checking if the weather would permit surely ... oh fvck, what was I talking about?
