You bring up an interesting point, I do not know why there is not a ralley in Las Vegas, I heard rumours there used to be one, but it would have had to have been 1996 or prior. I think it is a great idea, you just need a club to sponsor it, the jet part is pretty easy to handle.
I'm in !!
I'm actually flying down to Lost Wages again today (do it about 5 or 6 times a year). I'll often fly at the club that one of my friends is in - not sure of the club name, but it's about 2 miles from his house which is in Calista Way, LV 89131. I'll try to remember to find out tomorrow when I meet him to go flying.
I think the main reason there isn't a jet meet at Vegas is that there doesn't seem to be that many jet fliers in the area just now, judging from what I am told by the club members I've met there. I know that Pat Richards of Mach2 Jets is down there - maybe he would have a list of other jet fliers in the area and be able to help put something together. Maybe Mach2Jets could even help sponsor and advertise the event, and use it to showcase some of their new models ?
The nearest jet event to Vegas that I know of, is the St. George, Utah meet (about 2 hours drive from Vegas) - last year we stopped by Vegas on the way there & back, and had a great time.
Anyway, if you do get a jet meet going in Vegas, I'm definitely in !
I know a few others who would jump at it too... even if you did more than one per year.
