Fijian-American team leaders marched with pride and dignity at the Main Street during the Helldorado Parade.
(1888PressRelease) June 17, 2008 - Las Vegas, Nevada, Dr Neal Maharaj was invited to participate together with the Fijian American Soccer Team grand winners at the Helldorado Parade. The Fijian-American team leaders marched with pride and dignity at the Main Street during the Helldorado Parade, held last May 17, 2008. Dr. Maharaj was perched atop a vintage Las Vegas auto as he celebrated the victory of his native soccer team at the event.
The parade claims to be the oldest tradition in Las Vegas, boasting a 103-year legacy. Of course, like most truths about Vegas, there is some fudging around the edges. For example, the parade was discontinued for a while in the '90s, has been moved and downsized and, finally, perhaps to attract more people, shifted to the evening (thus negating the heat-braving attitude implied in the very name).
And, like everything about Vegas, Helldorado was invented as a publicity stunt to lure tourists by celebrating the town's Western heritage. The modern Helldorado Days was started in 1935 after completion of the Hoover Dam (and, the departure of thousands of workers who built the project) caused the city fathers to fear that Vegas was in peril of becoming a ghost town.
Dr. Neal has shown a tremendous amount of community involvement over the last 30 years and recently supported the Asian American Community along with Nevada First Lady, Dawn Gibbons and Nevada State Attorney General, Catherine Cortez Masto at their recent annual event held on Saturday May 31st, 2008. The event was held to honor community leaders for their work and contributions to the Southern Nevada community.
