We are looking forward to attending the GN this year. We are from the Western New York region, from Buffalo NY. We attended the last Las Vegas Grand National and had a great time. Our friends, Bob and Sharon Koteras are from Buffalo and are now members in your region. We hope to meet new friends and have a great time. Thanx Frank and Chris Puma

Hi Carolyn and Gary.  This document will be extremely helpful to our CLC members attending the GN.  I am looking forward to the 2016 GN in Las Vegas! It has been 8 years since I have been to Vegas and know a lot has changed.  I will be posting pictures from the GN on the CLC Facebook Group.   I've been panning around the Suncoast via Google Earth, Suncoast Hotel promos, etc. and posted a few pictures to the hotel. 

Below is one showing the hotel at night and another showing the pool and the Nevada landscape in the background.

Here is my first "quickie" time lapse video of the 2016 CLCGN Car Show Saturday taken from a cheap "Go Pro" like camera set at 1 FPS. Better video should show up on our CLC YouTube Channel later once everything is unloaded and processed. Here's the video link:

 Arrived at Suncoast Friday to gale force winds & later in the afternoon some sprinkles. There were 20 or so hardcore owners in the display area including a beautiful restored 1903 & a Harley Earl designed Broadmoor Skyview. The small orange boxes that were set up on Thursday for the assigned parking spaces were gone Friday - by the wind or the organizers knowing they'd be in Reno by the afternoon? Most of the cars were on the 3rd floor parking structure avoiding the ferocious winds . Nice turnout iNcluding cars from Montana & Georgia.Well worth fighting the winds.
