Mopars at the strip

In March we took our yearly Vegas trip to Mopars at the strip! The drive from Logan to Vegas sucked but other than that it was a great weekend! We left on a thursday and drove to Mesquite and then my mom, Whitney and I got up bright and early on friday and headed to Vegas to help register cars! Chip Foose from the TV series "Over Haulin" was a special guest this year so we got autographs and a picture with him! We left the speedway at about 5:30 and went to the hotel and got ready for dinner! We went to "Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville" and it was really fun! they have little boat booths that you eat in and they have people walking around on stilts and they have a little show that involves a valcano! After we ate we went back to the hotel since we had to be back out to the Speedway the next morning! We finished registering cars and then we went and watched my Uncle Clayton race in the 1/4 mile drags! After this me, my mom , and Whitney hit the outlet mall! After shopping we met back up with everyone else and headed to dinner! After dinner we headed to the Canery (the host hotel for Mopars at the Strip) they were having an oldies concert with former members of bands like boston and lynrd skynrd and a few others! Whitney and I then got the party started! We went and stood up front and started dancing and cheering and then everyone came and they started crowding us out, so Whit and I decided to stand in front of the security rail and almost got kicked out of the concert for it(we got yelled at by the security guard)! The singer from lynrd skynrd and a guitarist really liked whit and i and they kept coming and singing to us, the guitarist decided to give out some guitar picks and all these people were reaching for them and he kept pulling them away from them because he wanted me, whitney and my mom to have them, so I finally got a hold of them! After the concert we did a little gambling and then went back and went to bed! On sunday we got up and had breakfast and headed back home! This post is a little late but it was a great weekend and I had to wait til I went home to get the pictures because they were on my dads camera!
