Here are a few more details regarding the boot buffet at Mt Charleston this weekend. It will be a great way to escape the heat of the valley, and have a nice picnic (buffet-style) with your fellow MINIacs in the cooler fresh air up on the mountain.
We are meeting at Sante Fe Station, 4949 N Rancho Dr (just off the 95) – out front by the large marquee sign. Meet around 10:30am; we’re hoping to leave at 11am sharp.
We’ll take the scenic drive into the Toiyabe National Forest and up to nearly 9,000 feet about sea level, where we’ll enjoy a club ‘Boot Buffet’! Bring your own entre, a side dish to share and your own beverages, plates and silverware. We’ll line up the MINI’s, open the boots and partake in the buffet!
If you plan to attend, please drop me an email and let me know by Friday, so we’ll have some idea how many folks to expect.
See you Saturday!
The next SCMC Board Meeting has been rescheduled for Thursday, September 9. The meeting will be at 6:30 pm, in the conference room at the NEW Desert MINI Dealership – 5750 W Sahara Ave.
Sorry for the confusion ~ All members are welcome to attend. We hope to see you there.
Unfortunately, we’ve got one board member out of town, and another recuperating from surgery so… the board meeting scheduled for this Thursday is cancelled.
As soon as we can, we will let you know the date, time and location.
Sorry for any convenience.
The Club Polo Shirts are in! If you missed your opportunity to preorder custom colors, but would like to purchase a black polo we have limited quantities available of sizes S-XXXL. If you wanted to pay cash or use Paypal and get the order this week, I am leaving for MTTS on Thursday afternoon. If you’re in town and have time today or tomorrow (Tuesday or Wednesday) and can meet me somewhere, I can bring yours to you. Otherwise, regular shipping options are always available.
The next Sin City MINI Club Board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 19. The main items on the agenda are the Club’s “profit” status, our options for re-initiating a change to non-profit, and sales tax collection for merchandise.
The meeting will be at 6:30 pm, Thursday August 19 at Lisa’s Office: 1181 Grier Street Suite B Las Vegas NV 89119.
All members are welcome to attend. We hope to see you there.
This is just a reminder – Sunday is Dave’s Birthday!! And if your name happens to be Dave – it’s a great deal for you, too at Famous Dave’s. A free entree for anyone named Dave (up to $15). Half off your entree if your middle name’s Dave (up to $7.50). Bring a valid picture ID.
Come on out SUNDAY afternoon for some ribs… or whatever else tickles your fancy. We’ll be at Famous Dave’s: 4390 Blue Diamond Road Las Vegas at 1pm. Hope to see you there!
I got an email from Agro today, and he is thinking about doing the run to Phoenix on the 8th via the twisty way to Phoenix via Bagdad, Prescott & Jerome. It adds about 80 miles to the direct route.
Here’s the link for the fun route. 401 miles / 8 hours estimated from Fiesta Henderson to Valley Ho via Bagdad, Prescott & Jerome.
Here is the link with just the “12 miles of terror” detour. 317 miles, 6 hours estimated.
If you’d like to hook up with Agro and get more details about this trip, I’ve got his cell and email addy, just let me know.

MTTS starts next week – are you ready?? There are small groups of members attending several of the different stops during this year’s big event. Hopefully you’ll have the time to come along on one of the legs. Here’s a brief overview of the itinerary.
Early Thursday afternoon a small group of us will be headed north towards San Francisco. Friday in San Francisco there’s a MINI Cross scheduled, and later that evening a MINI Countryman Preview Party.
Saturday morning we’ll head southward to Los Angeles. Saturday’s schedule in Los Angeles looks the same as San Francisco, so we might have to find the California clubs to see about some entertainment.
Sunday morning we’ll pack up and head out to Arizona. MINI of Tempe and MINI North Scottsdale (supported by Dynamic MINI Collective) have teamed up to host a Pool party at Hotel Valley Ho. Monday morning it’s back to the MINIs for the fun ride back to Las Vegas.

We finally heard from The Rio. Our tour of The Rio will be this Thursday at 6pm. I apologize for the late notice. They only just today called us back. We felt it best to get these tours knocked out as quickly as possible so we can decide on a location for AMVIV 8 and get down to some serious planning. It turned out that we will be visiting all three properties this week.
Tuesday is our first walk through at Palace Station – meet at the Palace Station Guest Registration area at 7pm
Tomorrow is our second walk through at South Point – meet at the South Point Guest Registration Area tomorrow, Wednesday July 21 at 6pm.
Thursday will be our third and final walk through at The Rio – meet at The Rio Guest Registration area Thursday, July 22 at 6pm.
If you are interested in accompanying us on the tours. RSVP if you can, as soon as possible.
