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.
Monday night we’re in for a “COOL” treat! Desert MINI of Las Vegas is hosting a Party at the minus5 Ice Lounge inside The Shoppes at Mandalay Place,. Inside the “Lodge” guests will enjoy food, ice-cold beer and a variety of fine wines. Once coated and gloved, you’ll be escorted into the world-famous “Ice Lounge” for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and our exclusive MINI Takes the States specialty cocktail. You must be 21 years of age or older to attend and the party is FREE to the first 250 guests with proper MTTS credentials. While the temperature will soar above 100 outside, the “Lodge” will be a comfy 74 degrees and the “Ice Lounge” is kept at a constant 28 degrees Fahrenheit, or -5 degrees Celsius. Please dress accordingly. If you can’t make the ice lounge – party headquarters for the later evening will be back at Palace Station.
Tuesday morning, we’ll be crawling back into the daylight to start the next leg of the trip. We’ll be headed to Salt Lake City – Tuesday evening we’ll be joining MINI of Murray for an evening of fun, food, refreshing beverages and giveaways, with another chance to check out the MINI Countryman.
Wednesday morning we’ll rally up and head out to travel the world famous Bonneville Salt Flats and then out to Grand Junction, CO to rest up before the big arrival in Winter Park and Denver on Thursday.
If you’re going on some of the routes and want to meet up with others in the Club, please email me (Julie) and send me your contact information so we can hook up. Also, if you’re up on Twitter or Facebook – be sure to “follow” me, or “friend” me. I’ll be posting updates as often as my iPhone will allow.

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.
This Thursday we’ll be holding a Motor-In at the Café Rio
Cafe Rio, 5675 Centennial Center Blvd. Ste 190
Las Vegas
(Google map is linked).
Meet time is 6:30. See ya there!
Meet your fellow SCMC mates at Cars and Coffee, this Saturday July 10. Cars and Coffee™ Las Vegas is a weekly Saturday morning gathering of auto enthusiasts from 7:00am – 10:00am where hundreds of proud drivers from the Las Vegas area and beyond will congregate to kick tires and have a cup of coffee. There will be something for everyone to enjoy; classics, exotics, concepts, hotrods, motorcycles and motor-sport. And it’s all free, minus the coffee of course.
Hope to see you there

Our next AMVIV planning meeting will be at Cheeburger Cheeburger, 8390 South Rainbow Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89139-6793, Friday, July 9 at 6:30pm. We need discuss our hotel choices and start talking more about what we plan to do at next year’s event. If you’d like to come out, even if you haven’t come before, please stop by. The more input we put, the better we can make this year’s event. The burgers are pretty good, too.
We had a rather productive evening reviewing several hotel/casino proposals and we’ve narrowed our selection down quite a bit. This Sunday, 6/27, we are meeting on the top floor of the South Point garage – we plan to walk the property as a group (without hotel staff accompaniment) and judge its suitability for next year’s event. After South Point, we will be touring four other properties – The Rio, Harrah’s, The Stratosphere, and The Riviera.
If you have time on Sunday afternoon and would like to walk these properties with us – we’ll meet you on the rooftop of South Point’s parking garage at 3pm.
