I've only been to LV - my thoughts. LV should be the easiest to to fly into - it's a major hub for Southwest. LV would definitely have the most non-offroad activities, especially if you stay on The Strip. Football, hockey, concerts, F1, shopping are all within walking distance. If you go, stay...

I went last year - there were two groups of seven, with only one 2-door in each group. Ask/beg your instructor early on (even before you think they are going to split you up). My excuse/rationale was to say I DD a '19 Miata (154" long) and a '15 M235i (175", or slightly longer than a 2-door)...

Maybe you can ask the moderators to rotate your picture 90 degrees counterclockwise - problem solved! For those who haven't been, yes you spend 90% of the day at less than 5mph (it seems). Yes, you get instruction for each type of obstacle, but there is a considerable amount of time doing...

Per the site: When finalizing your reservation, you may also select an optional $75 vehicle damage waiver that will limit your financial responsibility to $3,500 if any vehicle damage is incurred during the event. So if you roll/total the Bronco with insurance, you are only out $75 + $3,500...

I was at the LV one last November. During check-in, they told a few people about their credit (I wasn't one). Also agree if you are spending a large credit, do it in the morning - they ran out of some sizes by lunchtime. Lastly, don't underestimate how much of a difference driving a 4-door is...

Here's my take. You are driving trails you have never seen. It may be the first time you have ever been off roading. You may be driving a different version (e.g. 4-door vs. 2-door, Auto vs. Manual). Not sure why you wouldn't just pay the $75, which is probably less than you will spend on shirts...

Yes, it's possible you might need it if you panic or don't follow instructions. It's also a really small amount on top of the rest of the "free" day - you will likely buy more than that in the gift shop. If you are worried about some cosmetic pinstriping, try distracting your instructor with a...

Agree that if you drive a 2-door you will be a lot more comfortable in a 2-door if there are lots of trees/obstacles next to the trail like in LV, so ask in advance (or just pee on the door). In LV, there were only 2 out of 14.

Doesn't look there is any shade there (went to LV in November and it has lots, but haven't been to Moab since the 70s or so).

The LV property is closed/leased from the Boy Scouts.

Agree with others that LV would have the most to do. Most people agree that after about 4 days in LV, you want to just go home. I'd plan a trip with at least one other activity on The Strip (in the last 2 years I've seen a few concerts, including U2 at The Sphere, a Raiders game (grew up just...

Yes, you are essentially getting a free rental Bronco, but 99.9% positive your credit card insurance stops when you leave your rental car in the Roadeo parking lot. A lot of this goes back to the mid-90s when purchase security and extended protection coverage costs almost put the big card...

Agreed, but in my case with the basic Roadeo, I immediately asked for one of the two 2-doors as the 4-door is much longer for the tight Vegas trails (my other daily drivers are a Miata and M235i, which is actually longer than my Wildtrak) and I was worried about side scrapes on rocks/trees...

I second that. You are driving someone else's car (normally covered), but insurance may equate this to track driving.

They were pretty low key, so I don't think they will care. Would bring your own mount or if you have a passenger, have them outside of the Bronco when you go over steep/technical sections. Since most of the day you are driving 5mph or less (at least in Vegas), don't expect a lot of dazzling...

I was there in November - would imagine those same trails covered in snow would make picking your line much harder. I also bought the photo package and recognized the same locations where the photographer sets up. It's nice that you don't need to worry about getting your own photos.

I was in the same group (blue BMW guy), but I didn't win the smoothest driver award, and agree Mean "Gene" could probably hook you up. On the subject, my takeaways/surprises in chronological order: - The road from the highway to the parking is about 1.5 miles, is unpaved, and not great for cars...
