Hashing in Las Vegas - The Fossil Record

The illusory Nellis Hash House Harriers was founded sometime in 1988 by persons engaged in a then-classified project (Area 51???), and even though it's been reported that they never ran a run, the members did manage to consume enormous quantities of beer. The original Las Vegas Hash House Harriers was founded on December 1, 1990, by Steve "Dinglebuckberry" Curtis, and then reformed on April 6, 1991. Both of those early hash houses died from lack of interest, or maybe it was the heat, stupid.

On September 11, 1993, the Las Vegas Resur-Erection Hash House Harriers grew from the ashes of the two defunct kennels. Founded by Miss My Monkey (AKA Pecker Checker!).

Hashing under a full moon was a good part of hashing in Las Vegas, and the Sin City Full Moon Hash House Harriers ran it's first official run on March 23, 1997. Conceived by Soap Scum and founded by Koresh.

The Viva La$ Vega$ Hash House Harriers started on June 1, 1998, and expanded hashing into the Las Vegas workweek...Founded by Shit For Brains, Lootenant, Dabadoo, and Hostitute.

On Jan. 01, 2000, the Rat Pack Hash House Harriers became "The Oldest Hash in the New Millenium." Founded by Hunka Hunka Burnin' Shit, Golden Eagle, Have Shit/Will Travel and WD-40, this new hash brought many new traditions to Las Vegas.

And then there were four! Honor to Hashing in Las Vegas!

But four hashes were too much to handle and, in  2002, there was the "Great Convergence," and the four hash houses came together and reformed as the Las Vegas Hash House Harriers. Highly scientific research showed that between the Las Vegas Resur-Erection, Sin City Full Moon, Viva Las Vegas, and Rat Pack hashes, there had been 651 runs. On Apr. 2, 2002, the Las Vegas Hash House Harriers ran their first run, Run #652. The Las Vegas Hash House Harriers (Viva Las Vegas!) carry on many of the traditions of past Las Vegas hashes while looking to the future for more fun and exciting drinking opportunities in the desert and beyond. Cum join us sometime!

Since the "Great Convergence" of 2002, the Hashing community in Las Vegas has grown. In 2009 Adios Mother Fucker and Updrunk'd the Junkie created the Sin City Hash House Harriers, an every other Tuesday hash that loves shiggy trails and great circles. Sin City's first run took place on Dec. 1, 2009, 19 years, to the day, after the very first original Las Vegas Hash House Harriers (before the Viva Las Vegas!)
