The 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment’s Blackhorse Association will hold its annual Blackhorse Family Reunion at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas, NV, July 9-13. To continue our connection to the regiment, the reunion will also include the Regimental Ball, which will be held on July 12. The reunion schedule includes the Ernie Ford Memorial Golf outing at Stallion Mountain Golf course, informal welcome dinner, Fort Irwin visit, Stable Your Mount social, and the Regimental Ball.

We have the following rooms reserved for the event. We also discovered that there are 6 reservations for Monday night only; we ask you to check your reservations and if these Monday-night reservations belong to you, please contact the hotel and change your reservation (most likely to Saturday night).

To ensure there is no confusion, please check your calendars and make certain to book the night you plan on arriving through the date you plan on leaving. If you fail to show on the day of your hotel booking, you risk having your entire reservation cancelled as a “no show.” Double-check your dates and book in advance. First come, first served.

A breakdown of our registration numbers is posted below. We have the largest number of golfers and largest turnout for a regimental ball in a decade. While there is an indication that we have 1,282 attendees for the Regimental ball, the truth is that we have 1,300, due to commitments by those who missed the cut-off date and promised to buy tickets on site.

Las Vegas transportation planning:

If you are planning to use South Point’s Airport shuttle, please phone 866-791-7626 (ask for Shuttle Reservations) to book your spot on the shuttle as soon as you have your flight information.

However, if you forget to reserve and if there are unreserved seats, they will be filled on a first come, first served basis on that day, based on availability.

Getting off the bus at Fort Irwin, after traveling in an air-conditioned bus, is best experienced in a hydrated state. Sunscreen and loose-fitting clothing are also strongly recommended as the heat in July can be problematic for even seasoned veterans.
