Hosts: Jerry and Jo Ann Anderson #44126

Let’s do it again!!! Rev up the engines. Get ready to go to the entertainment capital of the world and see some fantastic NASCAR racing. Las Vegas, Nevada. If you read the recap on the Escapee website on the race in March 2007, you’ll see what a great time was had by all. Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unless you want to share with the rest of your Escapees friends. Seriously, every year Escapees who have been to this HOP are thrilled with everything surrounding the races and the races themselves. So what do you think, is NASCAR Las Vegas in your plans for 2008?

 

The fee below covers your RV site for up to 5 nights of boondocking, three-day race tickets at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Friday, NASCAR Pole Day; Saturday, NASCAR Busch Series; Sunday, NASCAR Nextel Cup Series), continental breakfasts, an evening meal, a souvenir race program, shop tours, and the companionship of your fellow Escapees. The RV sites are located in the checkered lot, a mere 500 feet from the race track, and the seats have a great view of the whole track and the pits.
