Get in touch with the Sahara Hotel and Casino. They have special rates for TOC spectators and provide shuttle service to and from the field. I attended the 1999 TOC and had a blast. My friend and I were lucky enough to get pit passses from our friend Kirk Gray and hang with the pilots and crews. I believe our hotel accomodations were $55 dollars a night. I am definitely attending this year. I hear rumors that this may be the last one. There is no charge to attend the event, and plenty of room for all who want to spectate. In typical Vegas style, there are full service bars and lots of souveniers. If you have the chance, by all means attend! The competition, as always will be intense.
