The New American Road Trip, led by two Chevrolet Bolt EV electric cars, arrived at the Luxor Hotel & Casino on Sunday, 9/16, from 3 PM to 6 PM and staged a celebration that included food, music, entertainment and guests speakers who sought to bring more attention to climate change issues:
An electric car caravan drove from San Francisco to New York City between Sept. 14 – 26th, stopping along the way to promote climate change awareness before arriving at the United Nation for the One Planet Summit at the UN on Sept. 26th.
The Las Vegas stop during this event took place in the valet parking lot of the Luxor resort on the corner of S. Las Vegas Blvd and Mandalay Bay Rd. and the party started at 3pm.
Speakers during these three hours were Michael Bloomberg, former Mayor of New York City as special UN Envoy, Jim Murren, CEO of MGM Resorts, and Antonique Smith, actress and grammy-nominated singer.
Electric car ride ‘n drives were available from local dealerships, that included the 2018 Nissan LEAF electric sedan, 2019 Honda Clarity plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, and 2019 Toyota Prius Prime plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Food, music, guest speakers, and celebratory events rounded out the presentation.
