The One Motorcycle Show Comes to Las Vegas

The Event: The One Motorcycle Show Las Vegas 2025

For 2025, North America's largest custom bike show, The One Motorcycle Show, debuted a second show in Las Vegas, Nevada, and to say it was special would be a drastic understatement.

Each year, The One Motorcycle Show (Portland, OR) attracts thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts, builders, and artists from around the world. With a focus on creativity, individuality, and the spirit of motorcycling, the show has become a must-attend event for those passionate about the two-wheeled lifestyle.

Held at the Western Hotel in the heart of Downtown, the inaugural Las Vegas show was nothing short of incredible. The show hosted live music, stunt team performances, food trucks, merch vendors, and a whole lot more, but what stood out above all else to us were the one-of-a-kind creations and the folks who built them.

Some of the best bike builders from across the country were on display. It seemed as though everywhere you looked, there was some paint detail or mind-blowing feat of fabrication to drool over. From Keith Young's rat-tastic 'Holy Bike' to Lily Key's rolling sculpture 'Bullhead', every taste and form of custom motorcycle was represented.

The best part was that no matter how long you stared at any one bike, you would continue to notice even more details of the build. I have never seen such amazing yet diverse paintwork, metalwork, and overall creativity in one show in my life. Not to mention, the venue, lighting, music, and overall vibe of the crowd was a perfect blend of community, individuality, rebellion, and art.

The Venue: Western Hotel

Nestled in the heart of historic Old Las Vegas, the iconic venue originally opened in

1970 as The Western Hotel & Bingo Parlor, and stands out with its striking architecture that

commands attention along Fremont Street.

“The Western is The One Show in Vegas,” said Thor Drake, who founded The One

Motorcycle Show in 2010. “We looked at other spots, but it wasn’t complicated; this is

where our Vegas show belongs.”

We couldn't agree more; the show brought new life to this historic building with a creative twist that felt right at home with the artisans, craftsmen, and mavericks in attendance.

Rolling Art: The Bikes and Their Creators

For most people, the bike bug takes hold very early in life. It seems like as soon as our training wheels come off, we suddenly feel the freedom and thrill that come from being in the wind on two wheels, and we're never quite the same.

Somewhere along the line, we get that first motorbike, and the love affair begins anew. Then what started as an "I want a motorcycle" becomes "I want two motorcycles," and before you know it, you have collected five or so bikes and enough parts to build another five. Some might call that an addiction, but in the bike life, that's just a burning desire to build something that combines all of your favorite elements into one scoot that simply can't be bought.

The One Motorcycle Show Las Vegas brought together the best of the best who share that same burning desire and gave them a place to share their jaw-dropping creations and inspire the next generation of hand-built garage artists to say "fuck it, I'm going for it."

It wasn't easy to pick an overall favorite from the show, but there were a few that completely stood out from the crowd. These builders not only made something beautiful but poured heart and soul into their bikes in a way that truly resonated with the beholder.

Corey Mauck - Medusa

As the name implies, this board track racer inspired masterpiece will turn you to stone as soon as you lay eyes upon it. Every element of this bike is stunning, from the twisted metalwork throughout the frame, handlebars, and girder front end to the leather work on the saddle. The longer you stare at it, the harder it is to pull yourself away.

Keith Young - Holy Bike

"Holy Shit!" The most common phrase heard from folks seeing Keith Young's incredible creation for the first time. Beginning life as a Honda cb550, this one of a kind build is full of imagination, creativity, and HOLES! Boasting 550 holes throughout the bike along with steampunk-inspired, ratty details galore, this drop seat rat is a stunning example of the endless possibilities in the world of custom motorcycles.

Lily Key - Bullhead

Taking rolling art to a new level was Bullhead by LK Moto Art. Upon first sight, this bike looks like it was carved from stone. The body and paintwork were unlike anything else on display. Like a sculpture on two wheels, the Bullhead bike demanded your attention and had no shortage of wild details to get lost in.

Mike Rabideau - Majik Mike Designs

A Wisconsin Native originally from Racine, WI, Majik Mike Rabideau has become one of the most prolific bike builders of a generation. His bikes aren't quite choppers, they aren't quite bobbers, but they're 100% 'garage built' with a style and attitude unlike anything else out there. They seem to move even while standing still!

He now calls Las Vegas, NV home and is one of the two bike builders with Count's Kustoms in LV. However, his climb to being one of the most well-known and recognized bike builders in America did not happen overnight. He began building custom motorcycles in 2003 and won the Hot Bike Tour in 2014 with his custom trike build.

He has since built over 20 bikes and even won Best Knucklehead at Born Free 11. His style and commitment to his craft are admirable, to say the least, but what is most remarkable is the fact that his ego does not match his accolades. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this master craftsman and are sure his builds will continue to stun for years to come.

Conclusion: The One Moto Show Has a Home in LV

In a city of over-the-top entertainment and endless amounts of conventions and shows, the One Motorcycle Show has definitely found its home away from home with the Las Vegas show. It was exactly what this incredible city was missing in its sea of attractions and sights. We hope this was the first of many years to come for The One Motorcycle Show, and we look forward to seeing the event grow as it has in Portland.
