Each March, Las Vegas transforms into the epicenter of off-road culture as 500 race teams descend on the city to compete in The Mint 400—a brutal 400-mile desert race that inspired Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The action kicks off with a massive vehicle parade roaring down the Las Vegas Strip, followed by an all-day off-road festival on historic Fremont Street featuring live music, celebrity appearances, and over 100 off-road vendors. Then, for two grueling days, racers battle through the punishing Nevada desert in the most prestigious off-road race in America. This is more than a race—it’s a spectacle.
