Car Wash Show May 8-10 in Las Vegas

[Knight01]

Who is going? I'd like to try to do a dinner meetup one evening. It's so hard to find other SS operators among the tunnel guys roaming the exhibits.

Im in looking forward to connecting with ya'll

We decided to not attend the ICA convention this year since it is primarily geared to the tunnel industry now and there is very few self-serve vendors there. We decided to take those convention dollars and use them to take a couple of vacations instead.

I will be going this year to see for myself about future attendance. It's been 7 years since the last show and I was disappointed that self serve wasn't represented much.Those of us that recall when the early bird seminar for ss was standing room only.

That's a fair statement, but there are a lot of non-specific vendors there as well. There is no doubt it is now tunnel centric, but that just means the SS owners have to make more of an effort to find each other and network.

I've heard from a couple vendors that it's 99% tunnel and IBA.

Do you all find that the regional conventions are better for ss?

Regarding a dinner get together, Jackson or I have been the ones that have gotten it together over the last several years. I think Jackson has other plans, and I'm not going this year, so you guys are on your own. The last few times we have had it at Hash House a Go-Go in the Linq hotel. It is pretty centrally located on the strip and decent blue collar food. It's really no big deal, just get an approximate head count, schedule a time, and call them to make sure they can accommodate you. We have usually done it the evening of the second show day. Some places want to combine everything into one check and leave you to collect, but HH had no problem with separate checks. Have fun guys.

I thought Hash House was a breakfast place the last time I was in Vegas? Did you find a time, morning or evening, that worked better for people when you put it together?

@UtahYoutubeGuy @swampdonkey and anyone else that will be in Vegas for the show next week, please message me your phone number so I can text you to discuss best day/time/location.

As for me. The Heartland and SWCA are the 2 best shows for the small to medium operators. There you have time to talk to the exhibitors and other operators. Back when the Western put on shows I preferred them over the ICA every time.

Just my 2 tokens worth!

Not making it this Year. My daughter is graduating college tomorrow and is moving to DC next week. I should definitely be at next years show.

Can someone please get us update on the offerings of cryptopay/nayax/monex? pretty please?

They have a full menu, although you can get breakfast any time. You can pull up the menu on the googling machine. Probably 7:00 would be good. I remember that we scheduled 6:30 a few years ago and everyone was late.

I am not planning on going to show this year.

Ive enjoyed the many times we have eaten dinner there. The servings are ridiculously huge.

@Knight01 @UtahYoutubeGuy @swampdonkey Do you guys want to do a dinner Wednesday 7 PM, at the Hash House? That should give us some time to get a few more people together.

SWCA is great for small to Medium owners

Sure, I can meet you at the door. I'll likely have a grey polo that says 937Houses.com (my real estate company) on.
