🏁 Countdown to The Mint 400
The Great American Off-Road Race is Almost Here
And this year… Iron Born Offroad is right in the middle of the action.
We’re counting down the days, and you should be too.
A Little History — Why the Mint 400 Matters
The Mint 400 isn’t just another desert race. It’s been called “The Great American Off-Road Race” for a reason.
Born in 1968 and originally promoted by the Mint Hotel & Casino, the event started as a wild idea to bring desert racing to the mainstream. Since then, it has grown into:
-
One of the most iconic off-road races in the world
-
Home to trophy trucks, unlimited buggies, motorcycles, and UTVs
-
A bucket-list race for drivers and teams
What makes it special isn’t just the racing — it’s the culture. The entire city gets involved. Tech inspections happen downtown. Fans get face-to-face with the vehicles. And the energy feels more like a festival than a race.
It’s part motorsports, part party, part desert adventure.
📅 Event Week Highlights You Don’t Want to Miss
🌃 Wednesday - @ 3PM The Mint 400 Vehicle Parade – Free Event
The parade begins on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip near Mandalay Bay and travels north all the way to Fremont Street. The best places to watch are right in the middle of the Strip, where the energy is highest and the backdrop of iconic casinos and resorts makes for an unforgettable viewing experience.
Seeing race trucks and UTVs rolling past the casinos is something you don’t forget. It’s one of those “only in Vegas” moments.
It’s wild — and totally worth experiencing in person.
🎉 Thursday – FREE Downtown Tech
If you’ve never been to tech & contingency on Fremont Street… you’re missing out.
This is where:
-
Race vehicles line the streets
-
Drivers sign autographs
-
You get up close with insane builds
-
The whole thing is FREE
It’s basically a giant off-road block party.
👉 Official event info: https://themint400.com
You can literally stand next to 900+ horsepower race trucks and fully built UTVs. It’s the best time to meet teams, check out parts, and get inspired for your own build.
