Very few bikers due to Malecon under construction and the lack of security from
the corrosive elements and sand with your bike over a few nights. Some bikers were
complaining about rust pitting on their chrome. Also the "Gringo Tax" imposed by merchants,can tend to get out of hand with pricing of food, beers and drinks. Sandy beach condos are also shunned upon due to the distance of the events and possibly sand drifts on the road making it hard to see at night. The bikers are favoring the hotels on the mirador and in town. However reservations have to be made by mail to lukeville. Passport issues, bad press, hassles with customs over due child support or petty traffic warrants and the high costs that these days few have at their discretion to spend... attendance will be down again. Laughlin NV on the other hand is poised to make their Bike Week the place to be seen. With the new bridge to Vegas opened, the truck and
rv traffic will be non existant in Laughlin. You can bet the political higher ups have told
law enforcement to lay off the bikers this time or you won't have a job next term. Havasu did just that with attracting the spring breakers, just that the drinking age in
mexico is 18...just my $.02
