Join Laughlin’s International Rally and the GPS Adventure Rally Tour

Laughlin, NV – June 12, 2006 – If you like all things with engines and wheels, enjoy poker and entertainment, or  delight in boats and beaches, circle November’s Veterans’ Day Weekend and make the drive to Nevada’s riverside beach city, Laughlin. 

American Rally Sport Group, Inc.(ARSG), in association with the Laughlin Tourism Committee, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and Las Vegas Events is expanding its successful two-event weekend into an exciting Motorsports Festival hosted by Laughlin’s seven major casinos during Veteran’s Day weekend.  Car Shows and Displays are scheduled at the Riverside, Edgewater, Colorado Belle, and the Flamingo – soon-to-be-renamed as the Aquarius.  ARSG’s popular GPS Adventure Rally & Tour moves to its new host property, the Laughlin Harrah’s Hotel and Casino. The event that started it all in 1998, the International Rally USA remains at the Ramada Express Casino, as The Laughlin International Rally. 

“Expanding the International Rally into the Laughlin Motorsports Festival has been one of ARSG’s goals for several years.  We look forward to growing into a major motorsport event as we include more diverse activities in the future,” says Roger Allison, ARSG president.  “Over the next three years, ARSG looks to expand from a focus on highway vehicles, to encompass water-craft, all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and even eco-sensitive “green” machines.  We are also working to expand television coverage of the rally and Motorsports Festival in addition to our high-definition filming.”

American Rally Sport Group, Inc. developed two very different motorsport events.  Its three-day FIA-listed International Rally USA developed into a world- renowned competition rally, sanctioned through the United States Automobile Club (USAC) in association with National Auto Sports Association (NASA). Its Grand Canyon competition stage is a featured component on four authorized video games, including TopGear Rally 2 for the Nintendo, Rally Championship, Rally Championship Xtreme, and Richard Burns Rally Championship simulation for PC and other game systems.  

The two-day GPS Adventure Rally tour began in 2000. Participants in this family-oriented event drive through a secret course following a route book with listed GPS coordinates.  They enjoy unique activities, look for secret treasures, and find various geo-cache sites, while exploring unusual and historic locations within the scenic back roads of southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona.
