This is my third year coming. This even is great for families and mostly car fans. The burnouts were great but this year they took long to set up. Overall its a must come at least once. Great food, entertainment and especially awesome cars!

Not much to update, my original review remains relevant 3 years later! So just read that one. MIA this year is that purple Hello Kitty car. New entry, Minions!.. lol.(I know how are these qualified as classic cars?) Late afternoon, early evening still is our favorite time to go. Even though it seems busier, there’s still room to walk about. Took us around 2. 5 hours leisurely pace walking from beginning Lake Mead /Water St all the way up and back down. Just want to stress stay hydrated as in drink water! Sunday’s event awards are at 1 event ends at 3.

It’s a yearly tradition for me to gander at these beautiful cars and trucks from long ago. Out of all the cars shows on the strip, boulder and hendo this is the biggest and best. Kick off night is on the small scale but saturday is my favorite. They have a ton of events that you can take part in, parking is free. Usually they have some great food trucks there so if you want to grab some grub go for it. Most of the folks are really down to earth and love to talk with you about their cars. The crowd is pretty tame so no douche bags causing a ruckus so feel free to bring the little ones.

After attending the Super Run Classic Car Show in downtown Henderson last weekend, I am a fan of local events. The Super Run Classic Car Show transformed Water Street into a classic car museum filled with people. The cars included a 1923 Ford coexisting with a Chevy El Camino, a Plymouth Road Runner, 1978 Trans Am, and every classic car imaginable. Just like a good museum, the cars included information about their year and make. A good number of the cars had the hoods popped open to display the engines. The vehicle owners were there to share information. There was even a stand displaying hundreds of Match Box and Hot Wheels cars for sale. The Super Run Classic Car Show featured a few food concessions plus a beer garden. They sold corn dogs, smoothies, hot dogs, burgers, sausages, and fries. Personally I have mixed feelings about the food concessions in downtown events. My understanding is that the events are entertainment that helps stimulate the downtown economy. On Water Street so much of the downtown economy is restaurants and bars. I’d do my part by supporting the Café in the El Dorado, the Coffee House, and the Gold Mine Tavern because they plan to be in the community for the long run. Besides, lately I’m not too crazy over the taste of carnival food. In my reporting of the Super Clasic Car Show, what made Super Run Classic Car Show shine was that it made Water Street shine. I never saw Water Street so happening on a weekend afternoon. For a day Water Street looked like US66 when GTOs ruled the road. A Water Street that is usually empty on a Sunday morning was animated with people. These people were supporting local businesses. From my observation, business was up on Water Street. There was even a 15 minute wait to eat in the Café. It also seemed that the casinos and bars were busier. When I look back on the Super Run Car Show, I think of how it made Water Street shine on a weekend afternoon When I look back on this event, I look forward to more local events.

Super Run is always a great event! Great cars and great people! Shirley B’s review says it all. There is also a kick off party at The District on the day before Super Run(Thursday) — not all the cars are displayed there, but the entire mall area is full of cars, and some overflowing into the driveway between The District and Green Valley Ranch.
