TRES AMIGOS

The 'Gambler 500 Mexico' is a joint venture between two great houses, 'Gambler Florida' and 'LoneStar Gambler'. Together we overthrew the Iron Throne and have laid claim to the greatest Gambler territory in Westeros. Viva la revolucion.

The third running of the 'Gambler 500 Mexico' will be May 19-22, 2022 based out of Terlingua, Texas. We are expanding to four days of fun & frivolity in the Chihuahuan desert. Mas informacion en breve!

Terlingua, Texas is base-camp for the 'Gambler 500 Mexico'. This charming, quirky desert town is full of character, music and west Texas hospitality. Enjoy live music & guitars on the porch, even a creepy cemetery.

Got a beautiful spot picked out for you to camp & glamp and chill in the desert heat- Big Bend Resort & Adventures. Showers, outhouse, restaurant, convenience store and gas all on-site. Tent camping is $35 & we have RV sites & motel rooms available.

We tried for REK and Elvis but both were booked. Instead YOU can now provide the live entertainment. The Party Barn is right there in camp waiting on you to become an internet sensation. 

While the rest of the Gambler world is downing that Chicago based stuff Malort, we are going old school with our own vintage, Tequila! Can't wait. Arriba.

A handful of hoopties will be chosen to attempt the most rugged and spectacular route of the rally, the climb up Christmas Mountain. Guaranteed to be one of the highlights of the journey, the views are breathtaking.

Locals call it OJ. Gamblers call it the gateway to our Mexican fun in the sun. Great off-road trails and wonderful people await the adventurous.  Bienvenido a Mexico!

The trails in the BBNP are challenging and spectacular. The 'River Road' is 51 miles of twists and turns passing tinaja and desert springs. The scenery is like nothing to be found anywhere else in the hemisphere. Rated as 'DEVILS &*%^HOLE' for a reason- you've been warned!

The Big Bend region is remote and far from just about anywhere. The reward for venturing to the area is spectacular scenery. From lowland deserts to pinon and Juniper tree covered mountains in the Chisos. The solitude will give you an amazing experience with breathtaking vistas and lifelong memories. Hermosa.

Everyone likes to show off, so we're going to accommodate you. Join the 'Gambler Parade' on Friday night as we strut our stuff through the streets of Terlingua finishing at our favorite eating establishment, DB's Rustic Iron BBQ. 

You're welcome to join one of the convoy's headed to 'Tres Amigos'. Both leave on the 19th, one from Austin and the other from Del Rio. Good idea if your hooptie is crappy or you can't read a map. 

On the last day of the event, Trail Bitch is leading a guided tour to Boquillas del Carmen, Mexico. It's easy & we're going by rowboat. Yup, and it's even legal! Then walk or ride a horse into town. Great place to unwind, pick up a few souvenirs and enjoy a cold cerveza. 

One of the organizers of G500Mexico is a direct descendant of Jacob Darst, defender of the Alamo. Yes, 'Double Tap' is a member of Texas royalty. Courtsy not required by the masses, but shots are appreciated.

2020/21 was such a mess with the pandemic, murder hornets, hurricanes, politics, meteors & wildfires. Staff is closely monitoring the possible alien invasion and promise to keep you safe from little green men. I have it on good authority that we are on the protected roles and not under threat of subjugation.

Going into Mexico is an OPTION offered on this journey. A valid passport or card is mandatory, plus you'll need your vehicle registration. Mexican auto insurance is HIGHLY recommended, and you'll need a FMM form (no sweat). Check the link for details, hombre.

Seeing purple? Don't do it! In Texas, fences, trees and rocks painted purple mean NO TRESPASSING! It's the law and in Terlingua they mean it. You've been warned!

Even in one of the most remote & beautiful places in the world you can still find rubbish left behind. That's no bueno. In 2020 & 2021 we recovered over two tons of trash from the desert. In 2022 we will do even better. Support the Son's and join the 501C3 non-profit gang to make the planet a better, cleaner place.
