Walk, Ride, and Party October 11 and 12

Saturday, October 11 and Sunday, October 12 will mark the inaugural Las Vegas weekend! Our Las Vegas weekend will start out on Saturday with Walk Now for Autism at Sam Boyd Stadium. Over 5,000 people are expected at this 3rd annual 5K walk, autism resource fair and festival.
Sunday will mark the inaugural ING DIRECT Ride Now Las Vegas event starting at UNLV's Thomas and Mack parking lot. Riders will enjoy a scenic 70 mile motorcycle ride around Las Vegas ending at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino and Pool. The party will be poolside at the Hard Rock Hotel with live music from local band, Yellow Brick Road, and appearances by Carey Hart and custom motorcycle designer Jesse Rooke.

Sunday afternoon's party at the pool will be a great way to wrap up what is sure to be an amazing weekend in Las Vegas. Even if you're not a motorcycle enthusiast or a walker, this will be a great event! Join us in the fun by the pool and come on out to celebrate the end of an amazing Autism Speaks weekend in Las Vegas!!
