My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
Looks like someone beat me to posting about this event. I was asked to rally the members here on E60.net for this event but have been lagging. The main caravan of MFesters will be leaving early Friday morning around 6AM. They already have tentative plans for the weekend posted on M5Board and also group rate for the Red Rock.
There's a small chance I might be driving down with the NorCal caravan Thu to meet up with the SoCal Fri morning caravan but I'm still working on my schedule to free up this weekend.
You guys should really consider going with the caravan as the group drive is one of the best parts of most meets. VT, haven't you learned your lesson yet about open roads on your last Vegas trip? hehe

The blowout was caused by a nail not my spirited driving. Anyway, I changed my mind and might go with the Socal caravan.

I've been to Red Rock and their pool area has card tables with girls in bikini as their card dealers. A very nice time to wear those shades outdoor for some poker! Haha! I'm a maybe. I'll check with the commander in chief.

I talked to Chris (Laidback) yesterday and they're in the process of setting up a separate MFest website that should be up and running this weekend. It will have all the info for this event. He's also going to send me some info first and I'll start a separate thread on here with all the details and we can start a list of interested peeps.
