9/12 Vegas AUTOFEST Preview
Event date/location: Saturday, September 12, 2026 @ Red Rock Country Club Las Vegas, CA. Blog by Henry Ma / PHM
This marks my 2nd year at Vegas AUTOFEST, still one of my favorite shows of the year mainly due to the venue. It’s just unbelievable to see all these exotics and unique vehicles on a golf course! The only catch is they do NOT allow spectator parking on-site (You need to park at Las Vegas Ballpark then take the FREE shuttle) The other catch is this is all outdoor and it gets HOT.. definitely bring that umbrella or sunblock!
Above: This was near the entrance which prevented others from rolling in after 9:30am 🙁
Last year I rode in with LegalRide which was super cool as we get to roll right into the show. But they don’t KSU (Kick Stand Up) till 11am and we needed to be here when it starts.. Anyway, the only way around that is to register your vehicle. This year, I got Ray to bring in our PHM support vehicle there while I rode in my funky tilting 3-wheeler. The only gripes I have with the organizer this year is they did NOT send any roll-in information for all registered vehicles (at least I never got them) Luckily Ray drove the support vehicle there a bit earlier. While I thought I was good when I’ve arrived shortly before 9:30am and waited at the entrance as they were moving a jet vehicle near the entrance.
By the time I get to talk to the staff, he told me no more roll-in due to Hellfire booth.. (see photo above, clearly I could still squeeze in) Anyway that really suck as I had to park (initially outside the show) See below:
Are you telling me you can’t squeeze me in? What blows is I’ve paid the fee to be IN the show not outside… had I known the cut off was 9:30am I would have been there super early!

Luckily Ray managed to get in before the cut off time and was able to park next to Gaudin Ford The crazy thing is I’ve purchased that vehicle (2022 Ford Maverick) from Gaudin!!
Above and Below: Just beautiful venue!

As I was wandering around the show I’m still bum that I couldn’t bring my bike in.. low and behold I’ve found FactoryPowerSports of Las Vegas by the shuttle drop off area.
This is the place I usually take my bike in for service and tires swap. They mostly have Yamaha products here so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask the guy if I could park my bike here. Previously they’re known as Yamaha of Las Vegas, they’ve rebranded recently and what better place to get the word out than Vegas AUTOFEST!
Below: They allow me to park here as long as I don’t block the main entrance or golf carts. Sweet!

As a side note for anyone attending next year, Food tickets are 4, Wines are 3, Beers are 2, and soda is 1 ticket. Each ticket is $5 so you do the math. As always they will have COLD waters throughout the venue (FREE) so no need to bring water to the show. They’ve got your back… or is it your thirst? They also have a REAL restrooms inside the country club (that’s free access) or they have those FANCY portable restroom (the mobile trailer one)
I do wish the event last a bit longer as we were still trying to take photos by 3pm when it’s ended. As we’re wrapping up, I wanted to give a very special thanks to Factory Powersports Las Vegas for letting me park by their booth as well as having the boat on the venue that was sweet!
