Pahrump arena committee denies Amp Live Monster Trucks request, cites safety and liability
Summary
The Pahrump Arena Advisory Committee denied a reservation request from Amp Live Monster Trucks for the weekend of Oct. 3, 2026, citing concerns about proximity to Fall Fest, camping without reservations, insurance and past payment disputes; the motion passed 7-0.
The Pahrump Arena Advisory Committee voted April 23, 2026, to deny a reservation request from Amp Live Monster Trucks for the weekend following Fall Fest, including a request to allow attendees to camp on-site without reservations. Darius Mann moved to deny the reservation for the weekend of October 3, 2026; Scot Tibbits seconded and the motion passed 7-0.
Committee members raised multiple concerns during discussion, including that the requested weekend was too close to Fall Fest, that camping without a formal reservation would create liability and insurance gaps, and that prior monster-truck promoters had created payment or dispute issues with Town of Pahrump staff. The minutes record broad board concern that some elements of the Amp request were outside the committee's authority and would require Town of Pahrump and Board of County Commissioners review.
A public commenter, committee member Tina Mann, urged caution on safety grounds, stating: "Concerned about public safety during proposed promotions." Committee members said they would prefer Amp representatives appear in person to address questions if the promoter seeks future bookings.
The denial was recorded as a formal motion and vote. No alternate dates or conditional approvals were recorded in the minutes.
