The Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender is so many things, such as live music, DJs, the world’s finest car show, and much, much more. Here is an overview of some of the events that go on at the Viva Las Vegas Weekender.
Car Show
The Viva Las Vegas Car Show is the best car show of its type anywhere. Cars are strictly pre-63 that have to be in a style from that era. Please check out the photos on the Car Show page. The VLV Weekender and VLV14 Car show attracted over 700 cars with about 20,000 attending to view the car show. If you wish to put your car in the car show, you can register it after you buy tickets for VLV.

Burlesque Competition
This has become one of the major events on the Burlesque calendar. Between October 1st and January 5th, hopeful contestants submit their photos and information onto the Viva Las Vegas website. Once all possible contestants have submitted, the judging begins! A panel of judges will choose 3 contestants to go to the finals. Followed by the contestants who will pick a fourth finalist. Then the judges will choose another 10 who go into the online voting during January, from which the top four go to the live final at VLV making a total of 8 competitors. The eight competitors will then battle it out on Saturday evening to win the final VLV Burlesque Competition. Prizes include Cash, Gift Vouchers, Merchandise, Photoshoots, and publicity.

Tiki Pool Party
The Tiki Pool Party has become one of the major events at VLV, and will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is a great opportunity for girls (and guys!) to show off their vintage swimwear.
CABANAS AT VLV
As you know, there are a limited number of cabanas at the pool for VLV and the hotel is getting a lot of requests so here is the plan. A cabana for Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be $250 for a day. That includes guaranteed entry to the pool area for 10 people. Between now and March 16th please send an email to cabana@vivalasvegas.net On that day we will randomly draw winners who will then be able to phone the hotel and deal with the payment.
Don’t forget that the pool party will be for 3 days this time and you will automatically be entered into the drawing for all 3 days. The hotel also hopes to have even more cabanas installed by then.
Please only use cabana@vivalasvegas.net for entering the draw. If you have questions please email tom@vivalasvegas.net
VLV Annual Swimsuit Contest
Proudly presented by Vintage Suits by Mary
Attention all vintage fashion fanatics!!!! Shine up your vintage beach-side best and get ready for the grandaddy of all swimsuit competitions. VSbM is sponsoring the VLV 14 pool party Vintage Swimsuit Competitions!
This year there will be THREE contests spread over 3 days: The men’s on Friday at 3:45pm, Couples on Saturday at 3:45pm, and Women’s on Sunday at 3:45pm. The only requirement is that your suit MUST BE VINTAGE (pre 1970), no modern/repro suits will be allowed in the competition. Contestants will be… judged on their suit alone, not by how well you can dance or how you answer silly pageant questions. This year the contests will be more streamlined: shorter, faster, and more about the suit alone. Entries will be ahead of time this year also, so watch for info on Vintage Suits by Mary’s Facebook page.
It’s all about the fashion! So bust out your most fabulous Rose Marie Reid gold lame number or your wool Jantzen briefs and get ready to show them off! Judges will be announced shortly so stay in the loop for more info!
