HOST HOTEL

delano-logo-big.png


Delano Las Vegas (Currently named theHotel at Mandalay Bay)

Ford GT National Rally 9 will be hosted at the all-new Delano Las Vegas (known until ~September 1st as theHotel at Mandalay Bay – host hotel of FGT Rally 3). Delano Las Vegas will bring the effortless style and sophistication of the original Delano South Beach to the energy and buzz of the Las Vegas strip. It's perfectly situation for easy entry and exit from the Strip area to Spring Mountain and the surrounding roads. It's also close to all the action but not so massive that we'll be lost amongst the masses.

The completely redesigned property will feature spacious suites, luxurious Bathhouse spa and gym facilities, Mix restaurant, and other high-energy night and daylife offerings that Delano has become known for. We will have secure, separate parking convenient to the hotel entrance exclusively for Ford GT National Rally 9 guests. Additionally, trailer parking will be available on site and it is a convenient location for transport drop off and pickup.

We have a great group room rate of $209 per night + applicable taxes and fees.

Rooms for Ford GT National Rally 9 can be booked at the following link:

As of today, 7:00 PM. That may get moved about an hour later, but count on Tuesday evening. Will be an easy 1 day drive for any Californian to make it in time. If it were me? I'd say NorCal and SoCal pre-Rallies.

It will be back. Nobody even got divorced after last years!

Tom Reichenbach reminded me when we discussed R9 that the 10th anniversary of J4-1 coming off the line is June 30th, and this is the 9th anniversary of the start of the forum. So we'll have a 10th anniversary of the commencement of FGT production this year (and 50th of DCC winning at LM), and then the 10th anniversary of the forum and R.X next year. And then why don't we just cap that off with the 1-2-3 Le Mans 50th in 2016? The next few years are going to be very entertaining :biggrin

Excellent. Thanks. I'll probably try to get in a full work day that Monday to mitigate the guilt of taking the rest of the week off.
Pre-rally would be great. But that idea quickly disintegrated for R8. Maybe we can get our sh*t together this year.

Pre-rally this time should be way less complicated. A bunch of bad ass roads you guys could meet up and Rally up through. I nominate you to head the effort? Second? Second.

Done.

I'd be happy to do it! But probably not the best qualified from a knowledge or logistics standpoint, but I'll give it a shot. I'll post up a separate thread about a California pre-rally at some point.

Dave, If there is a difference between mens and womens shirts, as there was last year, how can I get two mens instead of one of each gender? Already registered BTW.
