Default Vegas guys, need your input please!!

So, I'm going to Vegas this weekend to party it up for Memorial Day, and I was thinking about taking my car. Here's my dilemna. I've got about 2.5" of ground clearance, and I don't want to run into any issues with my bumper getting ripped off. I plan on staying close to the strip, and I'll be staying at The Venetian.

My question to all you Vegas guys is this: How are the road conditions over there, I've been there numerous times, but never in my car, so I want to make sure I don't end up getting stranded. I figured if I can survive LA area, then I should be able to survive Vegas.

So guys and gals, your input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! =D

the roads there are fine but when going up or down for parking your gonna scrap the frame and the side skirts at some places so you gotta remember not to do the valet parking because you will see your car come back scraped.

Sky-on ..... you could ask Mr. Meaty too... he's in Vegas and has a drop like mine...not quite tucked like yours is...but fairly low... he could def. tell you if you'd be cool or not.

You'll be fine unless you try my driveway

Seriously though, while Vegas isn't the best roads, I look forward to getting back on em after a trip to SoCal

and x2 on the Valet, most don't have a clue how to handle a lowered car.

yea, I'm not really too worried about the roads more about the parking structure at Venetian. Thanks for the input everyone! If any of you have experience with the Venetian parking structure, then that would be great =]

oh, and I NEVER Valet my car, I pay them to let me park it myself, lol

never parked there before but in the shara and imperial palace it's pretty steep to where your frame might scrape unless you find parking at the bottom infront of a camera.

There's a lot of high speed bumps leading to the Venetian parking garage and the garage itself is pretty steep as well. U can give Palazzo's underground parking a try.

the roads are fine out here except paradise which has a lot of construction right now. the thing that will get you is some entries into the parking garages

Tropicana at Las Vegas Blvd is pretty jacked up too but since you're up at the Venitian you get to avoid it
