Water Street is about to fill with chrome, horsepower and a crowd that knows exactly why it keeps coming back. According to the Las Vegas Sun, Henderson Hot Rod Days returns for its seventh year with more than 700 hot rods, muscle cars, street rods, trucks and motorcycles.

The two-day event, presented by the city of Henderson, turns the downtown corridor into a rolling display of automotive culture. For residents, it is one of those local traditions that blends nostalgia with a street festival atmosphere, drawing gearheads and families alike.
