Attended the whole deal and heres my honest review: It's true you should definitely attend this event at least once. There's so much to do you seldom get a chance for boredom, just tired. The car show was BIG and varied making it very interesting and the attire and pin-up gals endless, AWESOME! I did expect more top Rockabilly earlier than scheduled for the older guys and gals. Dick Dale was completely worth the 4 day admission.WOW! Unfortunately can't say the same for the legend 'Little Richard'. They wheeled him onstage in a wheel chair and his voice was weak and sometimes off key. We left early, time marches on. Great event tho, no doubt![cl
 
Viva review

I was at Viva for the 13th and then again last year with my wife we enjoyed the car show and the many vendors. The bands were good and got lots of pictures. Hopefully will attend for 2014. Mike
 
It sucked

I went a few years ago and wasn't impressed. Girls were beautiful and music was great. But as for the cars ; well I could of had a better time at a local car show. To me it was just a big costume party...
 
We are going this year.
Went down last year, but only made it to the Rat City Rukkus show. This year we are going to try and do both.

The Rukkus show is Saturday only, across the street from the Stratosphere. Not a huge show, but fun with a bunch of great rats.

Thanks for the info. I had heard something about that, might try to check that out Saturday.
 
i like my rockabilly in small doses so i doubt if i would be all over that
oh yeah
i dont like crowds, drink or gamble either........;)
 
They were great shows. Can't believe how much bigger the Rukkus show was this year, over last year.

Notice the connecting rod engine mounts.
