While many car show organizers use a familiar format at their events, Wuste takes the experience to another level.
The Wuste European Car Festival invites all car enthusiasts to attend and celebrate all vehicles that are manufactured by European car brands.
A full weekend of festivities.
On Thursday (May 28), attendees that registerd in advance were able to check-in early and get their wristband. Those who couldn't make it to early check-in during the day, specifically the out-of-towners, were able to get together with the gang at the In-N-Out Burger located on W Tropicana Ave, a tourist attraction to many that don't live in CA, NV, AZ, UT or TX.
On Friday (May 29), a car-cruise was arranged early afternoon from Palace Station (hosting hotel) to Red Rock Canyon, a one-way 13-mile scenic drive; a contrast to the bright lights and hype of the Las Vegas Strip. That evening, the Opening Ceremonies & Air-Cooled Showcase presented by Pure Euro commenced at Palace Station's surface lot and the first 60 air-cooled European cars that entered received free admission (driver and passenger). The sun set, the music played and the festivites began. After the speeches, meet and greets and group pictures, and walk-through and awards, a shuttle to the Strip was arranged from Palace Station to Treasure Island to enjoy a little bit of the Vegas bars and parties.
The 9th Annual Wuste European Car Festival Show & Shine presented by Pure Euro was held on Saturday (May 30). From suspension to wheels and apparel to decals, there was a lot to see and buy from the vendors on display.
The list of exhibitors include Air Lift Performance, Air-Zenith, Auto Union Tuning, Audi Henderson, Audi Las Vegas, #becausebags, Dorbritz Designs, DUBKORPS, Eurocode, Findlay VW, GraphicsWorks, Janky Garage, Kerma TDI, Phoenix Collision, Solo-Werks, Supreme Power, United Stance and Vapetasia. All had vehicles on display to grab the attention of the crowd. When the awards were handed out and the event closed its gates, another shuttle was arranged to once again enjoy the Vegas Strip.
On the last day (May 31), an hour-long cruise to Mt. Charleston Summit was planned and the registered attendees of Wuste enjoyed a hike of the highest peak in southern Nevada; a great way to end the festivities and memorable weekend of Wuste.
