Lambretta is Alive

Almost 70 years after the creation of its first model, the Lambretta scooter has returned in the form of the 2018 Lambretta V-Special. Shown in public for the first time at EICMA on November 7, 2017, the scooter company, which is known for its cult following despite only being in production for 24 years, has teamed up with Austrian design studio KISKA (known to MO readers for the design of KTM and Husqvarna model lines) to produce a thoroughly modern Lambretta in three variations: V50 Special, V125 Special and V200 Special.

High Rollers 2018 Details Announced

Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling, indoor

We move back to Fremont Street for a weekend in the Motown influenced hotel casino – The D. This hotel was redone a few years ago and has some great hidden areas and eateries, a casino you have to explore to appreciate. The D Has both access to the chaos of Fremont street or an easy, quiet back way out. Many of the HRW attendees each year have been visiting the bar on the second floor for the vintage casino machines, Motown music, and friendly bartenders – this shall be our gathering point in the hotel. One of the attractions to the hotel this year is that they are giving us our own parking lot, so cars, trucks and even trailer parking will be free for guests at the hotel. The parking area will give us a dedicated scooter location and some extra space to do some first time ever events and entertainment.

The High Rollers Weekend will also include some great bands that we have worked pretty hard to pull in for the weekend. Plus, the required scooter ride outs, vendor stalls, meet and greet and all-nighters should make it a great time with old and new friends. All the events, bands and some of the best international DJ’s will be announced nearer the time, so keep checking Facebook and www.LVScooterRally.com for updated info.

The D offered us a great room rate of only $37 per night W/Th/Sun/Mon and $102 Fri/Sat, but we could not wrestle them out of a $20 resort fee, so it more like $57/$122 +13% tax (Vegas is getting REALLY hard to negotiate with). To book the hotel, ring them at 1-800-274-5825 and request High Rollers rate (CODE: DHIROLL). Online booking is available NOW at http://www.thed.com/hotel/ (use code: DHIROLL). Stated rate does not include NV 13% sales tax and reduced resort fee of $20 per night.

RESORT FEE WARNING – Most hotels in Vegas add a resort fee which covers Wi-Fi, Comp coffee/water, self-parking, discount books, etc. These fees can range from $20-$35 per night. BE AWARE if looking at other hotels, it may look like a bargain but the fees will make it not so. Online travel booking sites often hide these fees until it is too late. So please support the rally and stay where the atmosphere is.
