BACKGROUND: The High Roller Scooter Rally, one of the biggest and
best scooter rallies in the U.S., gives scooter
enthusiasts from around the world the chance to combine
the thrill of scootering with the excitement of Las Vegas.
Manufactured by Piaggio in Tuscany, Italy, the Vespa was
designed in 1946 by Enrico Piaggio as a solution to
transportation following the destruction of World War II.
Combining the best elements of aeronautics automobiles and
motorcycles, it instantly became an icon of design and
economy. In 2000, after a 15-year hiatus, the fabled
Italian scooter returned to the U.S. to entice new
generations with its efficient, entertaining and still
nostalgic nature.
