Las Vegas is home to all sorts of weird and wonderful displays, shows and exhibitions. Indeed, anyone acquainted with the online casino, or the casino industry as a whole will know that that Vegas is about much more than gambling. One thing that has certainly staked its claim through the years is the Classic Car type show.

Earlier in 2013 there was a Classic Cadillac display, as well as the Viva Las Vegas Car Show in April, which exhibits all sorts of customs, hot rods, and all American classics such as Fords and Chevys.

Some of the most striking examples of cars at these shows are the Ford Roadster customs. Some are fashioned to look like hot rods and others are rounded off and souped-up for a new generation of enthusiasts. They evoke images of 1930s America in the times of prohibition and industrial innovation. The Ford Roadsters are loosely based around the original Ford Model B and are a kind of car crossed with a light truck.

Festivals such as the Super Run Classic Car Show are due in September and they exhibit a similar array of classic American motors, from a time when maintenance and customisation were much easier. Lifting the hood of your Chevy or Ford would reveal a very basic component set of parts with ample room in between to get your hands and tools. Now, maintenance is much better left to the professionals.

Muscle cars like the Ford Mustang or the Chevy Camaro are part of American folklore and stem from a time of wild-west style industrialisation. These themes naturally lend themselves to the casino trade, and anyone who enjoys the online casino at GamingClub.com/nz, or the casino trade in general, may well be drawn by the romance of the classic American automobile.
