Las Vegas advice

[BillyBob0780]

Hi folks !
I didn't think the wife and I were going to be coming over the pond to the US this year due to new house commitments ( it would have the first time in 20yrs).
Anyway, I entered a competition last while at a NFL game in the UK and somehow won. The prize is a trip to Vegas... I need some Dart parts and thought while there get them and save on shipping and tariffs.....
Not much coming up on Google search for classic parts. Any locals got any place they go to there ?

Cheers

Congratulations on the win. I like your plan...I'd be doing the same thing as you if I were going to Great Britain for a visit....I'd look for parts for a Cortina if I had one back home.
I sent you a PM.

I would start checking listings in Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist in the Vegas area.

Facebook marketplace
Craigslist

Buy parts from the this forum or US based vendors and have the parts shipped to the hotel your staying in.

Have the seller add this to the shipping address.
In care of your name and room number.

Tip the front desk or doorman a 50 to keep an eye out

Good luck

Post up what you need here on FABO!
Odds are better IMO that some members here can provide you what you are looking for.
Good Luck!

If the trip you won isn't locked into a certain date, you could try to schedule it for when the Muscle Cars at The Strip car show takes place. It's an open show that started out as a Mopar show and is still heavily Mopar. There is a swap meet, so maybe you could pick up parts there.

Ha be glad the Raiders aren't still in Oakland... The Pats jersey will go over like a lead balloon. The fights at the Chargers/Raiders game are always fun on the LA nightly news!

I'll use the wife as a shield..............

Yeah, you may want to leave the Pats jersey at home. The tuck rule game still looms large with that fan base.

Get to the "Downtown" area at night. All kinds of odd things to see in the crowds.

Walking the Las Vegas strip, there are LOTS of people handing out promotional cards with contact info for prostitutes. Most of the people handing out the cards are Mexican. I started telling them No, gracias….me joto.
In Spanish, that loosely translates to No thank you, I like men …then I leaned in for a hug. The expressions on their faces were great!
Nobody wanted to be near me.

Girl friend and I went for my birthday which put us there on Halloween. That was an entertaining trip It was so entertaining that I failed to notice that the SEMA show was at the Convention Center until the participants were leaving
