The last adventure race of the millennium! Be a part of history! The first 10 teams that sign up will receive extra game cards ($1150 total value) and be entered into a raffle for prizes. If you are part of one of the message boards (such as SCARABS) or a "first time" team to the Desert Dash you will receive 10% off your entry fee! Take advantage while you can!

Congratulations to Team Circus Freaks (5th place in coed, Heat Wave 1) for receiving a season sponsorship from The Athletes Foot of Las Vegas. Congratulations to Team Looking for a Sponsor (6th place coed, Heat Wave 1) for landing Fun & Fit newspaper as a sponsor. Also congratulations goes out to Mark Johnson (2nd place solo, Heat Wave 1) who won the virtual adventure race and received a season sponsorship from GameWorks and KOMP 92.3 the rock station. He's not only a video shark, but a fit athlete too!

If you are from out of town, be sure to book rooms ASAP. Remember it is New Year's Eve in Vegas and this is one of the hottest places in the world to celebrate the new year! (It is said there are only two real party cities in the world, New York and Las Vegas.) It should be a rockin' good time for everyone!

Currently, we don't have a hotel sponsor. To be honest, there are so many hotels and motels in town you could probably shop around and get a better deal than we could give you. Try going to AccessLasVegas.com or LasVegas.com to look for rates. Try going through the USARA travel agent (USARA.com) for deals too. Check out MountainZone.com and read the article about the season opener. There are several pictures and results posted. You can also find these at DesertDash.com.

Heat Wave 2, December 30, 2000, "The last Adventure race of the century!" An itinerary will soon be posted on the Web site. Special equipment needed: "compass" Heat Wave 2.
