Thread: Bullrun starting in Las Vegas this year.

Looks like Bullrun will be starting on the west coast this year - in Las Vegas.

Here's the press release from Bullrun:

Viva Las Vegas!

The Bullrun Live Rally returns this July, and this year is going to be bigger than ever before!
With the 2011 route already generating a buzz on the internet, we thought we would announce the starting location for this year’s rally early to keep that buzz going.

The Bullrun Live Rally has started in some very famous locations before, and this year will be no exception. The Bullrun organizers have worked hard to secure this location for the start of the rally, and it will be well worth it. For those of you familiar with Sin City, you’ll know that this location is known for having some legendary casinos, free daily entertainment and is a part of vintage Vegas. So, do you want to know where the world famous Bullrun rally will be starting this year?

That’s right, the Bullrun rally will be starting from the Fremont Street Experience on our annual 4,000 mile journey - from Las Vegas to Miami.

Last year we managed to end the rally with a bang on Fremont Street, and much to our delight, we were welcomed by 10,000 spectators under the bright lights of the famous location. When we examined the possible locations to start the rally this year, one place immedietly came to mind. We enjoyed Fremont Street so much last year that it was a no-brainer to start there this year!
For all you Bullrun fans out there, we welcome you to come down and join us on Saturday, July 9th at 9:00am to witness the start of the 8th annual Bullrun rally.

We’ll have some cool stuff going on before the start, so be sure to show up for that! Bring your cameras because there will be some very hot cars this year! The Bullrun is all about the people and the experience. The drivers love to talk to the fans, so come down to Fremont Street to rub elbows with this year’s Bullrunners and some special celebrity guests that will be joining us on this year’s rally.
We’re already expecting in excess of 20,000 spectators at the start line this year, and we plan on making this year’s event standout from the rest!



What can you expect from this year’s rally? Fantastic cars, great people, exclusive Bullrun only events, top-notch roads, mind-blowing scenery and some very famous race circuits.

As with every year, the Bullrun will be joined by special celebrity guests from the worlds of sports, music and entertainment. Of course we’ll also be hosting some of the best parties and music performances in Bullrun history! Above all, be prepared to have one hell of a good time!

Probably! The route this year is through the Southern USA.

With Bullrun, they don't announce the daily route or nightly checkpoints until the day of. Even the Bullrunners are kept in the dark until they get their route cards each morning. It's kind of mysterious. I know it'll be a good route though! They'll probably stop in Scottsdale or Tucson on the first day or two of the rally.

Is anyone from L4P going on Bullrun this year? What about the start line on Fremont Street?
