Perhaps one of our country’s top Kustom Kulture events, Viva draws crowds both national and international every April and has been for the last 16 years. Now on its 17th run, Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender will be running from the 17th to the 20th of this month and held at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Be sure to check out Rod Authority’s coverage of last year’s event to get a taste of the action!

The Car show on Saturday will run from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and will include headliner bands on the main stage, all day music, a car contest, pinup contest, tattoo contest, vendors, and photo shoots just to mention a few of the activities.

For those who may have any questions concerning the event, as pegging down a personal schedule/getting the lay of the land can sometimes be overwhelming, we’ve included some of the FAQ from the VLV website to clear things up!

Can I buy a one day wristband for venues other than the Saturday Car Show?

“No, we do not offer day wristbands for inside the hotel. We may sell some on the Sunday only (subject to availability). You can buy a ticket for just the car show on the Saturday, that is called the Hot Rodder.”

Where does the entertainment take place?

“All of the entertainment takes place at the Orleans Hotel & Casino.”

What does the wristband include?

“The four day High Roller wristband covers you for four days access to all VLV venues…The four day Classic car show or Saturday Hot Rodder [ass grants you access ONLY to the car show area and the bowling event.”
