Hey guys I’m super pumped to be going to Vegas and watching the Monster energy cup! I’m driving from Saskatchewan Canada and cannot get a blink of sleep! My question is, are their any tips you would give to someone as their fist ever AMA event. I have access to the party in the pits and pretty decent seats because the VIP seats were sold out. Any type of life hacks you guys could give? I’d love to make the most of my experience. Thanks guys!

Edited Date/Time:
Find the free shuttle bus to the stadium from the host hotel. I think I saw it was the Luxor this year. It'll save you a drive or cab ride or race day. If you have never been to Vegas, consider buying a ticket for 'The Deuce'. It'll make getting around on the strip easier/less expensive. If you are interested in all of the other things that will be going one that day, make sure you look at the schedule of events. MEC has some cool demos earlier in the day.
Oh, and the pool party Sunday afternoon at the host hotel will usually be a good time. We tore it up at Rehab in the Hard Rock a few years ago. Lots of moto folks. Good times.

Slap all the Monster chicks on the butt and yell "hamhocks!!" while you do it. It turns them on.
You can thank me later.

Drink lots of water. Maybe some earplugs if your going to be watching all the practice/qualifiers and then the night show.

Plan on some time in the parking lot, too. Best whip? Quarterpipe? Not sure what they have planned for demo stuff.

Ask every rider you see for their googles
Call the riders by the wrong name
If you see Matthes tell him DLR is awesome
Be sure to wear your jersey
Ask everyone why McGrath isn’t racing
Get really drunk
Brag about your Banshee....

Tailgaters have it figured out...
Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. You've got to believe in foolish miracles. It's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose. You can choose. Don't confuse. Win or lose. It's up to you!

Circle Bar at the Hard Rock is usually a good place to see some of your favorite riders shitfaced after the races. Also, don't eat the brown acid.

Take hundred dollar bills and don't worry about coming home without those hundred dollar bills! Have fun.
