Back before summer 2014 even really got started here in the south west United States, the biggest Rockabilly event went off at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sprawling from April 17th to the 20th, the 17th annual Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend was the go to event for anyone who loves beautiful cars, amazing people, and awesome music.
Through four days, non-stop music, hot rods, and partying take over this section of Las Vegas. Mashing up pre-60’s era with modern day to bring you an exciting festival that brings in more than 20,000 people from all over the world. More than 60 bands, hundreds of hot rods, and tons of vendors all line up.
Rod Authority covered the event with an expansive recap that detailed the hows, whys, and whats that come along with Viva Las Vegas, be sure to check it out here. Loving the event so much, Rod Authority went deeper into the event and presented our Top 5 vehicles out on display. Amazing cars and trucks were scuttled next to each other, from mild to wild. Each just oozed with kustom kulture.
The video above goes through a highlight reel of the event, showing off a selection of the thousands of cars that were lined up on display. Additionally, there is also lots of footage of folks getting their groove on and having a good ol’ time!
The 18th annual Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend is already put into the works. Set again at the Orleans Hotel and Casino, the event will burst out on April 2-5, 2015. For more info on the show, check out www.vivalasvegas.net. This video was shot and edited by Miguel Espinoza.
