7 Days in Vegas

Time to get back in to the Vegas spirit, my next trip is already being planned for a 7 day trip to Vegas with my family on May 7th, 2010.

Already booked my tickets for the final round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Finals at Sam Boyd Stadium and I’m glad I booked early because they are already sold out 12 weeks before the race.

I was at this event last year and it was the best supercross I have ever been too.  I have been following the Supercross series closely this season in anticipation for a great season finale in Las Vegas.

Dungey 123 pts – Hill 123 pts – Villipoto 120 pts

I’m cheering for Dungey to take the title, and to do it in his rookie year would be very impressive.

The highlight of the trip was the day at the Monster Energy Supercross finals at Sam Boyd Stadium. I had been to the supercross in Detroit and Toronto before but never the series finals in Las Vegas. The race was spectacular with Ryan Villipoto winning the race and the Toyota truck. Chad Reed came 2nd after taking a good charge at James Stewart who held on to 3rd place which was enough to clinch the championship. Another great year of Supercross racing capped off with a great final race. I was equally impressed with the pit party before the races which allow the fans inside access to see the riders getting ready for the races in the pits.

The day started in our room at South Point. We saved a ton of money by staying off strip for Fri/Sat nights, and by going to the Supercross races we saved lots of money by not being around the casinos all day too!
