The Pahrump Nugget 250 off-road race is returning to the area this weekend after a nine-year hiatus and with it a large economic impact.
Town of Pahrump Tourism Director Arlette Ledbetter said that the 250-mile race, which features 150 racers, will generate millions of dollars for the race area, with the majority of that going to the town.
“This event is so welcome here, I don’t even have the words,” Ledbetter said. “Its economic impact for this event is around $15 million.”
With the racers, crew, family and spectators coming to town, the 418 hotel rooms in Pahrump are sold out.
The sellout is a welcome surprise for Holiday Inn Express General Manager Jenny Bahler, who said she found out about the race less than a few months ago.
“We are, we might have three rooms left,” Bahler said.
With the high occupancy rate expected, Bahler said that they raised the room rate accordingly.
“For us, whenever we have increased demand, we have the ability to increase the rate,” she said. “It’s been really good financially for the hotel to have them come and it’s been a really good experience so far for us.”
Ledbetter said that selling out all the hotel rooms in town is fairly rare, with events like the Balloon Fest, Fall Festival and the Grape Stomp among those few occasions.
Having something of this magnitude, in a time that’s usually a slow period is big, according to Ledbetter.
“It’s just so incredibly great to have an event like this in December,” she said. “The fact that it returned to Pahrump makes it even more fantastic.”
