The only thing that sucks about flying to Mopars at the Strip is you have to ship parts which can get expensive. Other than that flying is great because it saves a lot of time. I'm not going to be able to make it this year, want to, just have too much going on.

If I don't have to work that weekend, my son and I are driving up and will spend Saturday at the show.  As it stands right now, we're going.

Yes, going again this year, hopefully the turnout is good this year with everything going on. Rent a car as it can be very expensive to get to the track and back, and Vegas will try to suck all of the money out of your pocket. Did me the last couple years, but fun.

I'm going, but have not decided whether to take the Challenger or the Dart Swinger.

 I went last year, and flew out of Boston.
http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=43592.0

 I would LOVE to go again this year  :hyper:
Stayed at the Stratosphere. Pretty cool.
 At over 1000 feet up, the Big Shot was by far the scariest experience I have ever had  :22yikes: :scared:  :crying:
And I would love to do it again  :ylsuper:

 If I could recommend just one thing to do, (besides the show obviously)
If it is still running, go see The Beatles LOVE at The Mirage.
I paid $165 for one ticket, and I tell ya, I would have paid twice that it was that good.  :clapping:

Yep, I hear ya.
They change constantly.
I had a GREAT fare last year in the morning, and when I went to go book it when I got home from work the same day it doubled  :stomp:
 I checked non stop for the next two days thinking I lost my window of opportunity, when FINALLY it went back down to an even better price than I initially found  :woo:
 Stay patient, and persistent brother :thumbsup:

 Forgot to ask if your renting a car?
If you do try to stay off the main strip, and use Paradise rd. instead to get around.
MUCH EASIER  :thumbsup:

 My poor rental car took a beating.
I even jumped a curb in a road rage incident I got into with some fool  :swear:  :misbehaving:
 She was a blast to drive though.
Much love little Mazda 5  :horse:  :rofl:
