PHOTO BY JASON ANDRUS/The ProgressMesquite Motor Mania made its presence felt throughout Virgin Valley last weekend, Jan. 12-14, when the rubber met the road.The annual showcase, marking its 16th year, boasted more than 900 vintage vehicles – customs, hot rods, motorcycles, and dragsters – occupying CasaBlanca Resort Casino’s parking lots.“It’s our biggest car show and the first of its kind in the West in 2024,” said Christian Adderson, assistant GM at CasaBlanca, which hosted the spectacle in conjunction with Las Vegas Cruisin’ Association (LVCA).The nonprofit group’s promoter, Art Kam, was quick with a quip when asked the main difference between Motor Mania and September’s annual Super Run.“The temperature,” he replied on Friday, when it was a crisp 47 degrees. “But it’s also a different crowd than Super Run’s, with many visitors from other states” – including Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana.

Soehngen became its owner after his wife’s uncle died eight years ago.“We’ve come to this event at least a dozen times,” he said, in reference to his friends known as Buddy & the Lights, while music blasted from the vehicle’s stereo. “It’s fun, and CasaBlanca does a great job.”Among the unique amenities that adorned Soehngen’s pride and joy: A padlock from Alcatraz on the front bumper and a miniature skeleton hanging from the rear-view mirror.Elsewhere in the extensive lot was Kevin Fitzgerald, who put the finishing touches on his gleaming 1969 yellow Dodge known as “Killer Bee,” which he obtained a few
