think I saw that "small tire" deal was limited to 28" tire.... I would have liked to at least seen if I could make the bottom of the list  .. as far as I'm concerned I will know more after the first West Coast hot rod race.. what I will be doing.. them taking the weights away have really killed the N/A combo. Maybe I'll have to stick with the 29.10.5 and do strictly Grudge Race

I was at the events center downtown last year for the lasrageous concerts, and will be back this year. Lasrageous is April 20-21 and Mats is April 27-29, so they might be able to reuse one of the smaller stages. They also had food onsite. It is basically a huge flat parking lot downtown that they set up stages on behind the D casino. It is also owned by the owner of the D casino. Great location, plenty of food and music downtown. They even opened up a white castle last year.

Little bird told me that the main host hotel is the Downtown Grant Hotel. Suppose the be adjacent to Fremont Street. Suppose to be set aside parking for MATS participants at the hotel. I guess there's a Pavilions style area adjacent to the hotel. I was given a code but not sure it works yet. The group code I used was MATS2018.

The grand is now an upscale branded casino, very nice but pricy. It used to be the lady luck and was my go to cheap place to stay until it closed. I have stayed at the lady luck at least 15 times. It could be worth the upcharge if they have set aside parking. They have plenty of parking areas. They own the garage across the street and created new surface parking next to casino.

My only word of advice. Don't do a lot of wandering around the neighborhood late at night  Having said that the same could be said about the area around the Cannery too

They say free parking with validation if you stay at the Hotel. Good price, but I think I will still stay in my LQ trailer at the track.

It is better than it used to be, like back when a couple street were homeless encampments. If you stick to Fremont street and don't wander to far away its ok Also fremont area has a lot younger crowd than ever. A lot of drunken party animals especially on fremont across las vegas blvd in the bar district. I have never had a problem in over 40 visits, but I keep my eyes open anyway. Also the fremont and main street casinos are owned by boyd gaming which bought the cannery casinos. So I would not stay there myself. I do go to tony romas at the fremont for ribs and the cheap steak and lobster special, and the main st buffet.

I still think the best meal in town is at the Four Queens, Hugo's!  Hugo's is real good. I like pizza rock next to the downtown grand. The meatballs are killer and all different kinds of pizza. Nothing wrong with a 48oz prime rib at jerry's nugget in north lv either.

Anyplace in or around Nellis AFB is sketchy as all get out, heck for that matter most all of North Las Vegas is not the place to be. J you never made it across the 15 from the Speedway Ramada or Lady Luck to make it to Tacos El Gordo, now there is a cant miss stop for sure. If you cannot find good food in Vegas you are not looking very hard. One advantage to that whole industry we have is it spawns a lot of really good eateries around town.
