Coming from LA? Start the Mondo Lounge Atomic Frolic weekend early by hopping on the Crime Bus at Union Station at 11am Friday January 26. The trip to Las Vegas includes a scenic detour through old Route 66 where you'll enjoy the sights of the old Mother Road while hearing Kim and Nathan's tales of historic high desert mayhem and weirdness, a meal break at a charming restaurant, good tunes and good company. The Crime Bus will take you directly to the Aruba Hotel with plenty of time to freshen up before the evening Neon Cruise. The Crime Bus will be on call all weekend for offbeat museum, dining and thrift shop runs, plus the Neon Cruise and Architectural Tour (separate fees), before departing for Los Angeles at 7pm Sunday, with arrival by midnight.

You purchase gets you: a round trip seat on the Crime Bus from LA to Las Vegas, plus a ticket to the Atomic Frolic.

Payment options: Cost is $130/person and we ask that you please email [email protected] to reserve your space before either paying online with Paypal, or arranging to send a check.

ABOUT THE ROUTE 66 CRIME BUS TOUR: The crimes of old Route 66 are nothing like the citified tales told on previous Crime Bus tours. For more than a century, bad people have done terrible things under the vast desert sky, and all too often they've gotten away with it. High desert crimes are also odder than city crimes. On the Crime Bus, passengers will boggle at the tale of the Indian guide who cleverly spirited a new bride away from her young husband in 1920, giggle at the hijinks surrounding the premature 1890 death announcement of Wells Fargo messenger Ed Knickerbocker, shudder at the ghastly 1946 RV vacation of 10-year-old John Oedekerk, bit by a rabid dog in Indiana and chased across the country by needle-wielding public health officials, gape at the courage of cross-dressing 1930s teen Martha Adams who ran away from her religious maniac family with 53 cents in her pocket, and marvel at the miraculous tale of the 6-year-old girl kidnapped, bound and left in the hills in 1983 who was rescued when an airsick helicopter searcher landed to vomit and saw her Raggedy Ann doll in the dirt.
