Car Lovers – It’s Time for Hot August Nights


Car lovers – this vacation idea is tailored made for you!   Thousands of classic rides, customs, and muscle cars are getting ready to fill the streets of Reno and South Lake Tahoe!  Why?  It’s time for the 26nd Annual Hot August Nights – a weeklong celebration of America’s love with the automobile!    All the fun starts August 3rd through August 12th.

Area Casinos host daily “Shown N’ Shine” competitions.   There’s Classic Specialty Cars on display for you to enjoy.   Classic Car Competitions to enter – if you think your ride is up to the challenge.   Swap meets to find that special part for your ride.  B&T Classic Car Auctions are there to help you find your dream classic car.   For those with a lead foot, you can register for area drag races and burnouts.  And, then there’s the ever popular nightly car cruises.

It’s not just about classic cars at this event either.  Some of the biggest entertainers from the ‘50’s, ‘60’s, and ‘70’s are scheduled to headline the entertainment venues.   Herman Hermits, Paul Revere & the Raiders, The Village People, and Sonny Turner of The Platters will be singing and dancing through the night!  

Casinos will be hosting Black Jack Tournaments and a $10,000 Slot Tournament.  Felling lucky?  Then, enter the raffle to win a shiny 1972 Chevy Chevelle.

But, that’s not all.  At some point, you’ll need a rest from looking at all those beautiful rides.   Cruisin’ Craft Fairs and the Big Boy’s Toy Store will fulfill your shopping needs.   Looking for a little competitive sports action?  Consider entering the free style hula hoop competition, tricycle race, or jelly-eating donut competition.   There’s even a Free Classic Film Festival featuring Elvis, Paul Newman, and Marilyn Monroe to enjoy!
