Who Wants to Go to the SEMA Show?
Show dates: Nov. 1 - 4, 2005.
Las Vegas, Nevada

The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world. It draws the industry's brightest minds and hottest products to one place, the Las Vegas Convention Center. As part of AAIW, the SEMA Show attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from over 100 countries for unlimited profit opportunities in the automotive, truck and SUV, marine and RV markets. SEMA Show 2004 drew over 50,000 domestic and international buyers through two million square feet of exhibits. The displays are segmented into 12 sections, and a New Products Showcase features more than 1,100 newly introduced parts, tools and components. In addition, the SEMA show provides attendees with educational seminars, product demonstrations, special events, networking opportunities and more.

I am trying to arrange for LVC Members to attend the SEMA Automotive Show in Las Vegas, Nevada November 1 - 4th, 2005.

I need an idea of who would attend. I have already spoken to SEMA (and we are in the process of registering LVC as a SEMA Member) and I can set up for LVC Members to be permitted to attend. Show Entry Fee is only $10 if done in advance (would be $50 if paid at the show)

Once I have a good idea of how many will attend I can look to arrange hotel
accommodations as a group, most likely at Bally's which is in the center of all the action on the strip.

I think this would be a great thing for LVC. Not to mention Vegas is one of my favorite places to visit.

So lets here it. Who will come to LAS VEGAS for the SEMA Automotive show?

Hell yeah!

Plus 5? You bringing the family???

count me in! Not only is vegas a great destination...SEMA is a great show. Post the details once you know them.
Don

I know that I can get us rooms as cheap as 40-50 a night ----- But I am going to try for Bally's because they are in the center of the strip.

If you like to gamble, you can also get your room rate reduced or completely comped based on how much you place and how high you bet. But Ill get into all that later.

Sounds good to me! I have family in Vegas and haven't been in years, let me know what you find out... thx

I'm In!

I have rental property in Las Vegas so I go there quite often.
It is a great place to visit for those who are not fortunate to be within driving distance, and see it as often as I do.
The only thing I don't like about the city is the traffic.
It is TERRIBLE.
Not to many years ago it was a pleasure driving around the city but now, it is a nightmare.
As for the show, I would defenitely want to attend.

Would love to go to SEMA.
Bob Aquaro

Would love to get in SEMA show. Live in LV, so no hotel needed.

WOW - Im counting 16 already!

Joey ;

My wife and I were already planning to attend SEMA 2005 ! ! ! We will be happy to go under the LvC banner ! ! !

See You There,
Sonny

18 - this is great!

Hell YEah count me in!!!!

y2flyy

I'd love to go! Just have to get the time off. Nov 1-5 is Tuesday-Friday. Would it be possible to attend maybe Thursday and Friday only???

Kale

Sure Kale - the show runs from Nov 1-4 though - that is Tues through Friday. But you can attend any or all of the days. Of course, being Vegas, there is alot more then just the show.

Would be great if you made it!

I would love to go, but it all depends on IF I am working (will need to so I can afford it....LOL), and IF I am working, IF I can get the time off....but count me in +3. :Beer

My girlfriend and I are in. I get vacation again this summer. ( And she wants to go to Vegas.)

Sweeeeeeeet. I'm in. Gonna have to get a few tickets though.

I wish that I could guys, BUT I cannot afford it guys (I am on a fixed income, disabled)! Maybe next year, BUT you guys have a good time, And a safe trip. cpri287972 :V

All,
I definately will be attending. I have a few cars I plan on driving out there as well (I live in Northern VA). Count me in :-D Soon as you get a hotel, post the details.

bunyan

Count me in +1 - a week of partying!

Nizzzze, always wanted to go to a sema show, put me down for 2!!

thanks
dc

I have always wanted to see this show, so count me in as well.
Mike :I

Check back again in may, im not sure where i will be then. If im out in WY, heck yeah ill be there.

I will go, but of course I'll need to know the lodging options & costs. I have found that the comp rooms go to the high rolling regulars that have a history -- not the first timers and certainly not just because a guest is attending a conference/event.

Jeanszoo and Jamsto would attend from New Mexico.

u-betch-yha, count me in +1

Joey,

I live in San Diego, but I have a townhouse in New North Las Vegas about 15 min. north of the strip on the 15. let me know if I can help with directions or anything else I know the area very well.

Justin Robinett

Also, a quick question how many of you will actually be bringing vehicles??

I am going to work out a block of hotel rooms for us. Thats why I m trying to get an idea of how many will attend. I will also be seeing what the hotel can do for us as a group in other ways.

I know I can get rooms as cheap as $50 a night at the Stratospere, but that is at the far end of the strip. I am trying for Ballys which is in the center of the strip across from Bellagio, Paris and Ceasars.

Dont forget - you guys can share rooms if you want, further decreasing the cost.

I am so excited that there are so many interested people. This is going to be GREAT!

Well my wife has been naggin me to go out there for three years now, boy sure seems longer than that the naggin that is. She is a pomp and circumstance kind of girl so Bally’s would be great. So I am tentative based on work but look for me +1 otherwise.

I have also checked on family attendence. Children under 16 are not permitted into the show. But of course, they can be with you in Vegas and will be welcome at anything we do as LVC.

There will also be some Logistical things I will have to work out to get everyone in, but we will get into that later. Luckily someone at SEMA is guiding me through exactly how to make things happen.

This is in the beginning stages, I hope to plan a few things for us to do as a group as well. I am thrilled to see so much interest.

I have always wanted to attend one of these shows and the fact that it is in Vegas and I will get to meet many of the folks I speak with on the daily basis really tops it off.

Sure Kale - the show runs from Nov 1-4 though - that is Tues through Friday. But you can attend any or all of the days. Of course, being Vegas, there is alot more then just the show.

Would be great if you made it!

Yeah my wife brought up the hookers issue and apparently she all for retaining one, maybe more for a few hours, boy did I hit the jackpot or what!

I'll be there!

I have been going to SEMA for the past few years as a business owner (Super Coupe Performance) and it is without a doubt the coolest car event you will ever attend.

I look forward to meeting many of you there!

Bill Evanoff

I would definetely like to go, and if possible bring 3 others. Total: 4

Thanks for the effort in trying to get us in.
-Jake

i know i will prob be driving the mark there if its not to many miles

Hell yeah!! there would also be afew other cars there that have come out on DUB magazine that I personally have worked on when I used to live in Cali...

Im in

count me in
thanks

The chances of my going is ..............Good !!!!!!! My g/f loves Vegas.

Joey - count me in.

Iam going to pack my bag so I will be ready.

I will go, but of course I'll need to know the lodging options & costs. I have found that the comp rooms go to the high rolling regulars that have a history -- not the first timers and certainly not just because a guest is attending a conference/event.Joey is Italian, as is ALL of the mod staff (I'm 1/4 part) and Ballys is still run by the mafia (j/k, but maybe not), so go figure.

Just say, "Hey Joey, hook me up!"

I always wanted to go to SEMA and never could afford it.

I can't commit right now, Maybe if I could find a friend or 2 to share the cost of gas and room I might be able to go.

Donny

I would sure like to go,

Thanks, Joey

I'm in

count me in :wrench

I'll start working on the budget and the wife now, so hopefully by November I'll be set!

I LOVE it.Finally a meet I dont have to spend 2000 on gas for the motorhome to drive to.

Joey as you know from PMs I am definately in, as I live here and I will be doing whatever is needed to help make this a great success.
I have gone to SEMA for the last 5 years and it is amazing.The FORD booth last year had more 05 Mustangs fixed up than I can shake a stick at.

And if any of you guys are the partying types I MIGHT be able to find a good time in the evenings. LOL

AHHH. I wanna go ! I'll have to 2 years until I hit up Vegas. Very good time there tho. This is an awesome idea, wish I could attend !

Good luck on organizing it, I haven't seen soo many people interested in a meet as this... But again, it's the SEMA show and it's VEGAS. Who wouldn't want to go ? I think the fake is going to have to do some magic for me now ! Oh, and the Girls, wooooweee.

Chris, tell em what's up, LOL. <----- OFFICIAL LV PIMP !!!

:Beer

:V

Psh...

I'm all excited, and I'm not even going. LOL

Jon, bring the fake.It'll work in prety much any casino IF they ask at all.The clubs are a little tougher on fakes but again I MIGHT know a place or two we could go where they wouldn't sweat it.
And there are always the 18 and over strip clubs.No alcohol, but they're totaly nude.If you dont mind looking at gorgeous TOTALLY nude 18 year old woman,giving you a better lap dance than you have ever gotten.

Damnit, I'm already getting suckered into this...esp. when GORGEOUS naked women are involved.

I have been to quite a few strips clubs in Chicago, and I wouldn't doubt they would be any more crazier in LV. LOL. How bout a visit to the Blue Bunny Range. ( I believe that's the name, LOL)

Ok, Let me check some available weeks at work and save up some hardcore cash... Going to the SEMA show, clubs, then bringin' 4-5 gorgeous babes to the room for the late hours. .. Oh Man.

I'll get back to ya. I still got a while to save up. LOL

My wife and i would love to attend. thanks for the offer

Dude im down as :q:q:q:q! Im ready to go to SEMA and ill represent LVC to the fullest!

Who Wants to Go to the SEMA Show?
Show dates: Nov. 1 - 4, 2005.
Las Vegas, Nevada

The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world. It draws the industry's brightest minds and hottest products to one place, the Las Vegas Convention Center. As part of AAIW, the SEMA Show attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from over 100 countries for unlimited profit opportunities in the automotive, truck and SUV, marine and RV markets. SEMA Show 2004 drew over 50,000 domestic and international buyers through two million square feet of exhibits. The displays are segmented into 12 sections, and a New Products Showcase features more than 1,100 newly introduced parts, tools and components. In addition, the SEMA show provides attendees with educational seminars, product demonstrations, special events, networking opportunities and more.

I am trying to arrange for LVC Members to attend the SEMA Automotive Show in Las Vegas, Nevada November 1 - 4th, 2005.

I need an idea of who would attend. I have already spoken to SEMA (and we are in the process of registering LVC as a SEMA Member) and I can set up for LVC Members to be permitted to attend. Show Entry Fee is only $10 if done in advance (would be $50 if paid at the show)

Once I have a good idea of how many will attend I can look to arrange hotel
accommodations as a group, most likely at Bally's which is in the center of all the action on the strip.

I think this would be a great thing for LVC. Not to mention Vegas is one of my favorite places to visit.

So lets here it. Who will come to LAS VEGAS for the SEMA Automotive show?

Count me in
C

It's just not fair not fair at all!!!

Looking at all of the LvC members going to attend.

I want to go!! Damn only problem with being a Teacher - You can't choose your vaction time... :Bang

I have 2 personal days I could use but I'd still have to take 2 unpaid days off. That would up the cost of this event. Maybe there's some educational convetntion in LV that I could claim I'm attending. :rolleyes:

I'd love to attend this event why don't they do weekends!!!

Joey I'll be a maybe, if I can convince my wife that LvC is worth 2 unpaid days.

You dont neccesarily have to go for all the days.It DOES take at least three days to see everything at the main location.But there is another convention center that holds all the new tools that come out.
I've gone for the last 5 years I think and I have never made it over to look at the tool section.

Oh I know I would have to go for the whole show, but It would be hard to head back. I have this thing I don't like missing anything. Mainly if we have a large group there I want to be part of all of it.

So I'd have to stay the whole time. Unless members where staying into the weekend then I could take off Thrusday and Friday head out on Wednsday and stay until Saturday or Sunday.

Might be a plan.. But it would kill me not to be their at the beginning to meet everyone as they come in.

realisticaly, you ahve 2 days of travel, one there one back, plus the time at the show.

realisticaly, you ahve 2 days of travel, one there one back, plus the time at the show.

That I know.


I've been talking it over with my wife and she not against my taking 2 days off from work, depending on how much this will cost us.

The trip cost won't be too bad but then add on the amount I loose in salary might end up being too much.

I'll be trying to find some quick cash or put away we have a while before we have to go.

I would like to be there, but it would depend on the cost, my work and how much cash i have by then. To finally meet everyone would be great.

I'm in !!!!!!!

Just spell my name right on the badge. LOL
I would love to meet some members.

If any people from Northern Cali want to drive we can all make a long B line to vegas. :dancefool

:I
I Agree...count me in....Steve
already planned on going. just needed a group 2 go with. why do u think i jioned this thing anyway?

The strips speed is about walking speed. LOL
But I know all of the side streets if need be.
But it would be so nice to drive down the strip with all of the members at what ever speed
LOL

:dancefool

I said to my wife "All the members at the LVC forum were invited to the SEMA show in Vegas in November" and before I could finish my sentance(which would have been "Too bad we can't afford it")She said "We need to find a way to get you there then".

God I love her!!!!!!

Put me down for 2 cause I am gonna have to find someone to make the trip with me cause thats way too much driving to do by yourself.

Donny

I can make you a real good looking FAKE reguest, for your presence in L.V. :Beer :dancefool

I know she has a sister...... I'm broke but I am a I have a great personality
LOL
:dancefool
Hook me up !

I would love to go and a friend of mine would go also. just let me know :L

so what is the latest with this?...I 'm ready to go now


:dancefool

Registration isnt open yet - sometime in May -

Registration isnt open yet - sometime in May -

Unfortunately, SEMA changed some things for this year. It doesnt look like I can get but a few people in.

if its still possible, count me in +3

its not. SEMA changed their rules - I cant get more then just a couple of people in, so we wont be doing this unfortunately. Im sorry guys. I tried.

Im closing this thread, something I rarely do, so people dont get their hopes up.
