Event Combines a Five Mile Obstacle Course Run with Mud – All in the Name of “Unclean” Fun
LAS VEGAS, NV – Sin City’s going to get a lot dirtier on Saturday, May 23. That’s when the Mad Mud Run will invade Summerlin and turn the upscale community into a muddy five mile obstacle course all in the name of some “unclean” fun.
“The Mad Mud Run is five miles of action packed fun that includes a dive into our own mud pit,” said Rick Eastman, owner of Sierra Adventure Sports and organizer of the Las Vegas Mad Mud Run. “But don’t let the fun of diving into a mud pit distract you, this is quite a competitive event.”
A mix of a fun run, a mud pit and a competition, the Mad Mud Run offers team awards for the top finishers in the one, two and five person team category. Teams can be all male, all female, or mixed coed teams. There is also a special award for the best crowd pleasing costume.
“Some people take this event very seriously, almost like a competitive five mile run,” Eastman said. “For others, it is a fun activity for friends or neighbors and some companies like to sponsor teams as a true teambuilding event.”
The obstacle course resembles what most people think of boot camp. There’s often a short wall, belly crawl, monkey bars, cargo net climb, a hay bale obstacle and of course the fun slimy mud pit. The course is a challenge for all fitness levels and most teams complete the course in 45 minutes to an hour.
“It is a physical challenge that is very rewarding in the end,” Eastman said. “Not only do you get to dive in a mud pit, but there’s a sense of teamwork and accomplishment from completing the entire course.”
The participants also receive a special commemorative gift, a goodie bag, an official “mine is cooler than your dog tag” along with snacks and drinks. Participants must be 18 or older to participate in the general race or a “minor waver” must be completed in advance.
Children between the ages of 4 and 12 years of age will be able to participate in a special 100-meter Mudpuppy Splash that takes place right after the Mad Mud Run. Mudpuppy Splash participants receive a t-shirt, race bib and dog tag.
There’s a special pre-event race registration fee of only $50 in effect until May 9. The price will increase to $60 after May 9 and registration closes on May 20. The cost of the Mudpuppy Splash is only $10 per child.
For more information about the Mad Mud Run or the Mudpuppy Splash coming to Summerlin on May 23 – or to register online to participate in the event – visit the event website at http://www.madmudrun.com

AEROSMITH REJOINS FORCES WITH GUITAR HERO: AEROSMITH
FOR ROCK EVENT OF THE SUMMER
What happens when AEROSMITH, America’s Greatest Rock ‘N Roll Band who’ve sold over 150 million albums, won four Grammys and been inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame, rejoins forces with Guitar Hero®: Aerosmith®?
You have the rock event of the summer.
The massive AEROSMITH tour–presented by Guitar Hero: Aerosmith–kicks off June 10 in St. Louis and will stop in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, July 25. Special guests ZZ Top will open the 8:00pm show.
AEROSMITH–STEVEN TYLER (vocals), JOE PERRY (guitar), BRAD WHITFORD (guitar), TOM HAMILTON (bass) and JOEY KRAMER (drums)–made history last year when Activision released Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, marking the first music-based game built around the legendary music of Aerosmith. The groundbreaking partnership united “America’s greatest hard rock act” (as described by Mojo editor Phil Alexander in a May ‘07 cover story) with the massively successful videogame franchise; sales exploded and broke records, with AEROSMITH reaching another generation of fans.
This summer’s dates follow AEROSMITH’s 2007 worldwide tour that encompassed 35 dates in 20 countries, including their first-ever concert in India. Highlights included the band headlining a crowd of 50,000 fans on the second night of Hard Rock Café’s London Calling event in Hyde Park. Known for their incomparable chemistry and trademark electrifying performances, AEROSMITH also triumphantly performed in packed stadiums in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, and culminated their overseas domination with two unforgettable shows in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
“I have always been a huge fan of ZZ Top,” JOE PERRY says. “I toured with them with the Joe Perry Project, and those shows were unforgettable. With ZZ Top on this bill, it will definitely kick us into overdrive.”
AEROSMITH is currently in the studio working on a new album. For more than 30 years AEROSMITH has defined American Rock ‘n’ Roll. They’ve earned countless awards (including four Grammy Awards, eight American Music Awards, six Billboard Awards, and 12 MTV Awards), performed electrifying sold-out concerts around the world and have a fan-base numbering in the millions worldwide. The members of AEROSMITH remain creatively vital, and are the platinum standard for artistic and commercial success in the music business. Through it all they have undeniably withstood the test of time. For more information on AEROSMITH, including fan club tickets, go to www.aeroforceone.com
Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, ZZ Top–Billy F Gibbons (guitar/vocals), Dusty Hill (bass/vocals) and Frank Beard (drums)–formed in 1969 and played their first show in February 1970 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Beaumont, Texas. The personnel line-up for “That little ol’ band from Texas” not changed in the intervening years: no other major band can make that claim. Along the way, they’ve been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2004), were named Official Heroes of the State of Texas (1986) were cited for Best Group Video and Best Direction at the very first MTV Video Music Awards.
They performed at the 1997 Super Bowl halftime show and their landmark Eliminator album was in the first group of recordings to be achieve RIAA’s Diamond status in recognition of domestic sales in excess of ten million units. Texas Governor Ann Richards declared May 4, 1991 ZZ Top Day in their home state. Live From Texas was released last year and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s music DVD chart. The band’s consistency has been attributed by its members to the fact that they are “the same three guys playing the same three chords.”
Get ready for the summer. The Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Presents Aerosmith tour with special guests ZZ Top will be live, loud, and all the rock you’ll need.

May 21-24
Las Vegas— Australian soft-rock group Air Supply quickly became a staple of early ‘80s radio after their first smash hit, “Love and Other Bruises.” Performing together for more than 30 years, Air Supply will return to The Orleans Showroom May 21, 22, 23 and 24 for four 8 p.m. performances.
Englishman Graham Russell and Australian Russell Hitchcock met in 1975 while performing in the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Later that year, the duo formed Air Supply and released their first smash hit and self-titled debut album, reaching gold in Australia. After opening for Rod Stewart’s tour in the United States in the late ‘70s, Air Supply had an international breakthrough and signed a distribution deal with Artista Records in 1980.
Their album, Lost in Love, featured three U.S. top five singles, including the title track, which was the fastest-selling single in the world; “Every Woman in the World”; and “All Out of Love,” which hit No. 11 in the United Kingdom’s Top 40 charts. Over the next three years, Air Supply produced hit after hit, including “Just Another Woman,” “The One That You Love,” “Here I Am,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Even The Nights Are Better” and “Making Love Out Of Nothing At All,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard charts in 1983.
Producing 30 albums and more than 15 hit singles, Air Supply has become a worldwide sensation, touring in Australia, Asia, India, the United States and the Caribbean. In 2008, as the only Australian band on the list, Air Supply was named No. 83 on Billboard’s top 100 musical acts of all time.
Tickets to Air Supply are available now, starting at $39.95 plus tax.
