We have planned a drive for May that is a three-day, two-night event starting May 13th and ending on May 15th.

DAY 1

Our meetup will be in the parking area before the south entrance of Lake Mead NPS, 4910-4952 East Lake Mead Parkway, Henderson, NV, 89005. Our driver’s meeting will start at 9:30am with a planned departure at 10:00am.This is a National Park, so fees apply but if you have a park pass (especially the nifty Senior Pass) you are already good to go. Otherwise, you will pay a fee of $25.00 for a seven-day pass.

Once through the gate we take the first left which is State Route 167north all the way to Logandale and the junction of Interstate15. We will travel north on I15 north to Exit 112 Riverdale/Bunkerville just outside of [...]

SPANISH COOKING AT IT’S BEST!

By Reid Smith

If you have not eaten at Tres Cazuelas yet, you need to! What a great experience in Iberian Peninsula cuisine. Club members started with a wine tasting and then proceeded to the cooking presentation. Chef Angelo Reyes took us through the steps of preparing paella. Originally, this dish from the 1800’s combined your weekly leftovers, but now it is quite a delicacy. The right ingredients and careful preparation is the key to a tasty dinner. Rather than leftovers, our paella included rice, chicken, pork belly, jumbo shrimp, mussels and clams seasoned just right. Yum!

We have added a Welcome Party and a Farwell Concert to the roster so we hope you can spend the entire weekend with us on the mountain!

We will SELL OUT. Sign up and secure you spot soon!

Comments Off on 50th EXTRAVAGANZA A HUGE SUCCESS!

The LVR Board and 50 th Committee have been working for months on our big Birthday bash. What a time
we had! There were many things to do at the celebration. Listen to the fine vocals of Michael Ross
Nugent, get your picture taken at the step and repeat with Las Vegas Showgirls, view our charter and
other memorabilia of our club’s earlier years, eat Wicked donuts, and view over 150 Porsches! We had
Porsche visitors from Leipzig and Switzerland join us in the celebration. Past Presidents shared
interesting stories about club members during their watch.
If that was not enough, 100 enthusiasts departed at 12:30pm for a trip up to Mt. Charleston. We were
greeted with snow along the roadway and delicious Geo’s Tacos. The drive topped off a great day!

MALOOF COLLECTION PART 2 Recap

By Reid Smith

We had scheduled a tour of the Phil Maloof Car Collection last October and we quickly sold out the 25 slots that we were allotted. I asked Danny Barnett, the tour guide, if we could schedule another visit in a few months. Danny agreed, and we again sold out our 25 slots for the February 25th tour in a hurry. Those who attended were not disappointed. Treated to pastries, the tour of about 100 cars in a dozen garages began.

WINTER GALA/50 ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION – Recap

By Reid Smith

It was a rainy, cold January weekend in which we celebrated our 50th Anniversary at our annual Winter Gala. At least we did not have any outdoor activities or drives planned. As guests arrived and signed in, the big surprise was that they were then ushered to our photo corner where we took their picture flanked by two gorgeous Las Vegas Showgirls! The young ladies are the same ones you see at the Golden Knights games, known as the Golden Bells.
