As of March 2025, the Las Vegas Valley now has two outstanding Porsche facilities from which to choose, the original Gaudin Porsche Las Vegas located at 6800 Redwood Street, Las Vegas or the new Gaudin Porsche Henderson located at 7779 Eastgate Road, Henderson. The two locations operate independently of each other even though they are under the Gaudin umbrella of dealerships.

The Henderson facility is Porsche’s newest architectural design concept, designated as a 5th generation facility as compared to the Las Vegas location which is a 4th generation facility. The difference being, according to Paul Jarrett, General Manager of Porsche Henderson, is that Porsche Henderson is designed as a Destination Porsche Center (DPC). The primary charge of a DPC is focused on customer relationships in conjunction with great Porches! Customer service at Porsche Las Vegas has always been incredible but has been taken to a higher level at Porsche Henderson. Within Porsche Henderson, customers can [...]

Volunteering is often seen as a selfless act—something we do for others. But talk to anyone who’s given their time to a cause, and they’ll tell you it gives back tenfold. This is especially true when your passions intersect with purpose. One unexpected yet powerful example? Volunteering within our very own Porsche Club of America (PCA) and similar community-driven programs. 

Sometimes getting started is the hardest part but there are many opportunities within the LVR Porsche Club for those interested.  You can ask how to help when you attend an event, contact a board member if there is a particular event you would be interested in to see how you can help.  The club board meetings are open to all members and is a great way to pass on suggestions for events and to learn about upcoming events that will need volunteers. 

Our club also helps our local community programs. We held [...]

Salta, for those that might not be aware, was one of the country’s first “mega” car [...]

Our first HPDE for 2025 was a resounding success. We opened registration early and offered an early bird discount. We had a tremendous response and sold out 2 weeks in advance of the event date. 

We were fortunate that that the weather cooperated all weekend with temps in the high 60’s to low 70’s. Nothing better to get out and exercise your car and test your driving skills.

Due to the large turnout, we had the front entry gates opened @ 6AM so we could get participants registered early and allow them to get their cars through tech before the drivers meeting.

This and all of our prior events could not happen without the efforts of our volunteers led by Lisa Disabatino managing all aspects of registration to Ryan Raser and Andy Stahl @ tech ensured a smooth flow from driver registration to completing tech in record time. 

Brian Schmidt, our Chief Driving instructor, managed [...]
