Our fabulous weekend of events originally planned for last fall has been rescheduled and now will take place Feb. 27-March 1 in Las Vegas. Our aim is fun for our Nevada members, family and friends, but also others from around the region to help LCOC grow.
LCOC’s own superhost Scott Balanda has lined up another great slate of car club and group activities beginning with dinner at Top of the World at the Stratosphere on Friday Feb. 27 and ending with a visit to Hollywood Cars Museum on Sunday March 1, with lots of car buff and social activity in between.
LCOC boasts more than 20 regions in North America and around the world with unlimited attractions and adventures, but only a single region—ours—-has one of the world’s foremost playgrounds—Las Vegas—-and now we are planning new experiences after a very successful weekend of good times there in 2023. See below for a few highlight photos.
Dinners, car shows/displays, driving tour and museum visits are all part of the fun. You will probably want to do everything, but you may attend any or all of the events.
Contact Scott at scott.balanda@gmail.com to sign up for any or all events or for questions.
If you arriving from out of town, hotel arrangements are on your own. The Strat at $90/night and Circus Circus at $52/night are options; adding taxes and fees to both brings the total to around $140 and $104 per night respectively.
