Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration, Las Vegas

[Fiddler49]

For those that are signed up where are you staying? I have reservations at the MGM but I'm thinking about switching to the Mandalay Bay. Andy where are you staying?

Mandalay Bay. Oh, maybe I'm not the Andy you're looking for...

 

[Fat Boss]

I'm staying at Mandalay Bay. Seems like most of the nor cal Shelby guys are going to be there.

 

[Fat Boss]

Here's a more detailed schedule of events I'm planning on attending. 8)

Sun the 13th - Conga line with Team Shelby from Nor Cal to Palm Springs
Mon the 14th - Shelby Run from Palm Springs to Vegas (50+ cars)
Tue the 15th - Shelby Bash Scenic Tour and Poker Run
Wed the 16th - Car show at Shelby American's new facility
Thur the 17th - Mustang 50th Celebration at LVMS
Fri the 18th - Open Track at LVMS
Sat the 20th - Conga line home with Team Shelby

So I've looked at the schedule for the 50th and if I come out Thursday evening and come back on Sunday, it sounds like I'm missing a huge chunk of the event, namely the 50th itself. What else is there to do if I don't do the track day? I mean I know there will be vendors, etc but what else is everyone planning on doing during the day/evenings? I've tentatively gotten a room over at Mandalay Bay but if the schedule doesn't break my way, I'll just cancel.

 

[Fat Boss]

Yep. Plus it's Vegas. I'm pretty sure you need no special rationale for going to Vegas.

 

[ufnavy06]

Nope. None at all. 8) However, if we're wanting to do some events as a group (night time stuff), it might be nice to organize.

I finally got around to registering for everything. I'm signed up for:
Thursday evening - Birthday celebration at New York New York
Friday - open track
Friday evening - Gala at Shelby American
Saturday evening - Banquet at Luxor

Anyone know if the Shelby "Gala" is a "GALA"? I would love to have a nice formal evening out but if everyone is wearing shorts and jeans it's not much of a "Gala". So is it in name only? Anyone have any insight?

 

[SoCalBoss]

I was able to get Lockton insurance to provide coverage for the event in Las Vegas since it is being run by one of their approved organizers (Track Guys). You can get coverage from here: http://locktonmotorsports.com/event/track-guys-mca/

I'm not having any luck finding this info: do we pick up registration packets at the track or at one of the hotels (Mandalay bay)?

I assume we will be assigned a number for the car when I'm driving at the open track day in Vegas. Does anyone know how this works? I would prefer to buy a number myself that I can apply to the car rather than throwing on painter's tape to identify my car. Any insight will be appreciated.

Does anyone know if there will be anyone detailing cars at the Mandalay Bay?

Are you asking about professional services? I don't know. I will be certainly cleaning up our car with some materials I'm bringing.

Does anyone know if Mandalay Bay lets you self park? I don't trust valet folks, especially after this happened to someone:

Yes. They have a big self park garage behind it.

I don't know if they have anything setup for the event. But Las Vegas has many mobile detailers that schedule appointments to come to you. My daughter gets a groupon every six months for a service that comes to her work and comes out and does it out at her work parking lot.

I am curious as well for a professional style detailing exterior only however for myself.
