The Glendale Utah Rally will be only 4 hours from The Las Vegas National Rally. We will caravan to the Oasis RV Park on the first day of the Pre-Rally, which begins on 10-2-2016
This will be a great way to start the festivities! UPDATE; Currently sold out. Working on nearby back-up park for those on the waiting list.
All the details are here;

Jay,
It was great meeting you and Carol at Pechanga.
Registration for the Las Vegas National Rally is "expected" to begin in March 2016.
Old Cranky will find out when Chapter Leaders are notified slightly ahead of the pack and can let you know what to expect.
I would go to thread tools and subscribe to this thread for any updates. Trace

Jim,
I'm seeing conflicting information about signing up for the LV rally. Someone posted that you need to sign in here, even though it's not official. So, to be safe, Dan and Sally Sullivan will be going to pre/post all rally days.
Will there be an Official sign up on the forum?

The registration or signup for the 2016 North American Heartland Owners Rally is not open yet. This is a discussion thread only. When Jim B has finalized the arrangements and activities/programs for the rally he will open an event registration thread. Probably will be several months yet before it is open.

Sally - Jim is right, we're month away from registration. It will likely be around the end of February. All club members will be notified in advance as a reminder that we're getting near. And it will be spattered all over the forum, on Facebook etc. Region Directors and Chapter Leaders will get advance notice and they will also help get the word out.
I'm flying to Vegas this weekend and will be there for several days working on things for the rally.

We are thinking about withdrawing from this rally as there are way more people wanting to go than there are spaces available . . . and the chances of getting a spot is not looking good.
So we will probably just stick to the local and regional rallies instead.
So we will probably just stick to the local and regional rallies instead.
So far - about 165 people have responded to the poll indicating they "plan" to come to the rally with 1 of those 165 being in a hotel. Fitting 165 into 125 spaces is an issue. Fitting 330 people into a banquet room that holds 250 is a no-go.
Still working on a plan...
Jim,
This will be the first rally that my wife and I can attend. We will be very disappointed if after planning for over a year now there is no room for us to attend. Do you think that the large outcome is due not only to the location but also that it is the last west coast rally? The fact that so many members want to attend a national west coast rally may send a message that there is a real need to have National rallies on the west coast as well as in Indiana. Those of us that are still working find it difficult to attend the rally back east. As Heartland continues to expand and grow its customer base this seems like a good use of manufactures time and money. I realize that it is a lot of work and expense to bring everything out west but if they want to continue to grow it seems that west coast owners deserve the same support and attention as those on the east coast.
Regards,
Steve

I'll bet I can find a spot in Colorado that can handle as many campers as we can muster without having any parking issues . . .
So far, this Las Vegas rally has turned many Heartland owners off as we all know that there is not enough space to allow many of us to attend.

Until registration actually opens, all anyone can do is express their intent to attend or not attend. Putting your name on this or any other thread just helps Jim B. get an approximate headcount for planning purposes. Once registration opens, then we'll all get to play musical chairs.
I appreciate everyone's feedback! That's what this discussion thread is for so keep your sentiments coming.
Las Vegas is a popular entertainment destination. There's also a fair amount to see and do within a 2 hour radius. Some of our members got married in Vegas years back. Some have not been back to Vegas in years and have wanted to go back. Some plan to use this rally as their justification to make that "trip out west". For these and many other reasons - this rally location is popular.
As with most rallies, there is a limit to the number of rigs a venue can host, a limit to the number of people a room can hold, a limit to the number of trucks a parking lot can hold and on and on. So too - there has to be a limit on the number of rally units we setup for this rally.
In the end, will there be more who wanted to come but could not make it due to the event being sold out - I'm sure it will happen.
No matter what is done for this rally, we will not be able to meet everyone's needs. Nice way of saying some will not be happy, some will really be mad, some will write me nasty emails, some will never come to another rally etc. It's simply the human nature. We all react differently.
I will be trying VERY HARD to find a meeting room that can:
- Host 330 to 400 people
- Has surface parking for up to 200 large trucks
I will be trying VERY HARD to find additional campgrounds that:
- Would be interested in blocking x number of sites for us so more people can attend the rally, wherever the meeting room is
