SEMA ROLL CALL!!! Official NICO event

YouTube · Post by **EZcheese15** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 4:12 pm

Ok everyone,

NICO will be officially attending SEMA this year as a group. SEMA, for those who don't know, is the Specialty Equipment Market Association, which is basically the organization that is responsible for making after market automotive products legal.

The 2005 SEMA trade show will be Nov 1st-4th in Las Vegas, NV at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We went last year as a group, but hope to have an even bigger group there this year.

We will be staying at the Westward Ho hotel, located on the North end of the Strip. This is about as close to the convention center you can get while staying on the strip. Rooms are $40 a night.

Please post in this thread if you plan on attending, and how many of you there are. Also, post if you need a way to get in, as this is a TRADE-ONLY show. If you are not affiliated with an automotive business, please speak up! We can get you in, but we need to know beforehand.

Las Vegas airport code is LAS. Shuttles are available from the airport to the hotel. There is no need to rent a car.

See you guys there!!!

This is always a great time - NICO was well-represented last year, and will be even more so this year!

BTW, I've already been asked this...

But entry fee to SEMA is $15 but you MUST preregister. Otherwise, it's $50 and you might be on your own for getting in.

To register with NICO, paypal $15 to [email protected] with the subject line SEMA Registration.

Ok, also, one more thing to add:

Cut off date for Registration is Oct 7th. So you MUST have paypalled registration fee to us BEFORE Oct 5th.

I am most definitely interested. I was planning to head to Vegas in October for my 21st birthday anyhow...I'll just postpone the trip until Nov.

I'm obviously not in the trade business.

My question is: is there anyway to get you the prereg money other than via paypal? I really don't like using internet-based means to pay for things, so I don't want to use paypal. I can if I must, but I prefer to just send someone a money order.

Sweet! NICO rocks!

You can send check or money order to:

Paypal is safer than mail. We went last year, and probably will go again this year. Will look into that hotel, and follow up as it gets closer.

SEMA is like the biggest car show you've ever been too, you see stuff before everyone else. Oh, and, uh, BABES!!!!!!

Post by **AZ350Z** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 6:21 am

I am in. I will paypal today. I do need a pass to get in though, can you confirm this for me?

Thanks.

Torry, I'm 99% sure I'll be able to go. So count me in for SEMA. Should be a blast and I love visiting Vegas.

Kevin - Good luck finding a hotel if you wait much longer.

Last year, every room was booked 2 months before the event, closest available was in Henderson.

Will add the rest of you guys to the list. Hope you don't mind double-bunking or sleeping on the floor (well, except Rich - he gets a bed all to himself ).

NOTE: If you are NOT employed in the industry, SEMA has tightened their registration restrictions.

Please review these rules. We will be sending representatives from NICO, 240sx.org, and BRM Exhaust, but if you can secure your own credentials, that would save us a LOT of work.

I'll be there with my press creds.

SEMA's the debut of my transmission book - I can't miss it!

Anyone want to share a room?

Post by **Exar-Kun** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 9:26 am

i went last year and it is a freakin blast. all i can say about the westward ho is DO NOT EAT THE HOT DOGS. trust me, a full pound hot dog for 99 cents is something you will regret

Post by **MetaOrbit** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 9:58 am

I should be up there for the last day of the show (Friday). I have my own way of getting in though.

Post by **Eikon** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 9:58 am

I think I will be there. I have my credential already taken care of. I might be able to swing a couple extra "employees"... I'll get back to you guys on that.

Is the $40 for the hotel for sharing a room? Or is that your own room?

Are there any good "HOs" at the Westward HO!?

$40 is for the entire room. That's $10/person/night if you have 4 to a room. You can't beat that.

And no, the westward ho is mostly old people. All the young hotties are on the south end of the strip. But with a south strip hotel comes higher rates. I think most of us would opt for cheaper hotel and cab riding down to the good end of the strip
