Experience the fun of an NGRA Laughlin Bus Trip!

Sunday, June 8th 2008

Enjoy a full day of amusement, friendship and games.  You’ll receive a free buffet at the Edgewater Hotel and Casino.  Meet new friends at the Lariat in Bullhead City.

Get aboard – you never know what’s in store! Here’s your chance to get away for the day and have some fun along the way.

We return to the Commercial Center from a fun filled day around 10:00 PM.

$25 per person includes driver gratuity

Soft Drinks, beer, jello shots, and other “adult” shots and beverages will be available for purchase on the bus.  Raffles and Bingo will also be available.

Tickets are on sale at Badlands Saloon, Spotlight, Snick’s, and Charlie’s Las Vegas.  Ask your favorite bartender to sell you one.

Good morning, NGRA!

As I let you know earlier, NGRA will be participating in the annual Las Vegas Helldorado Days Parade this Saturday May 17th.  We have the mobile billboard promoting BigHorn Rodeo 2008 that we will be marching alongside. The parade route will take us northbound on Fourth Street from Hoover Avenue to Ogden Avenue, and there will be a fireworks show after the parade is over. The parade will begin at 7 p.m.

A Las Vegas tradition since 1935, Helldorado Days celebrates the spirit of the Old West. Featuring a spectacular parade, western village, poker and golf tournaments, residents and tourists alike enjoy the festive and fun Helldorado Days.

As this a mainstream event, there have been some concerns raised regarding our safety.  While we can’t change some people’s opinions regarding our sexuality, we can show the community that we are “just like them.”  We will be dressing in western attire, simply being citizens of Las Vegas.  No royalty, no impersonators, just a bunch of men and women representing NGRA.

Please make an effort to come on down and join us!  I don’t have our exact starting location yet; however you can park around 4th and Charleston then look for the big NGRA mobile billboard.  I hope to see many of you there!

Hello NGRA!

Pride weekend is coming to an end.  Thanks to all of you who joined us at the Las Vegas Pride Parade and the Las Vegas Pride festival.  NGRA was well represented in both.

Our new Member at Large Brian Maley has organized an NGRA Horseback/trail ride coming up Sunday, May 18th. We would like to extend an invitation to all members to come out and join us as we ride the Dalton Gang Adventure from Las Vegas Horseback Tours. 

This is an approximate 4 hour adventure and lunch is included in the price. The ranch is located on Interstate 15 about 45 minutes from mid strip.   We will be car pooling up and back to save gas. We will be there by 8:30 AM and should be done just after noon.  Lunch is included in the price.

You can check out the tour and lunch menu at http://www.lasvegashorsebacktours.com/lunchtour.

Normal price for this morning of horseback riding is $109.  As locals and NGRA members, we are getting a rate of $89.

Las Vegas Horseback tours require payment in advance.  You can either pay Brian in advance or contact him and he will provide the number to call to give your credit card information.  Contact Brian at bpmaley@gmail.com.

Let’s get together and enjoy a fun morning of riding!
