2008 Rolex Champions Banquet

The cut off to reserve a room is less than a month away

 Much like the final laps of a race, the clock is ticking down to be part of this year's Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 Champions Banquet at Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. The cut-off to reserve rooms at a deeply discounted rate at the luxury resort is less than a month away.

The Rolex Champions Banquet on Monday, Sept. 22, comes on the heels of the season-ending Sunchaser 1000 event at Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City, Utah. This prestigious annual event will open with a cocktail reception and be followed by a sit-down dinner and awards program which will honor the top drivers, teams and manufacturers in the Daytona Prototype and GT classes. Attendees wishing to maximize their experience of this premier event are encouraged to stay at the Bellagio.

Inspired by the villages of Europe, the AAA Five Diamond Bellagio overlooks an eight-acre lake in which fountains perform a magnificent aquatic ballet. Inside, award-winning dining, sophisticated nightlife, a world-class art gallery, Cirque du Soleil's stunning performance of "O," a luxurious spa and upscale shopping add to the extraordinary experience.
