    Interesting timing. The thanksgiving holiday is huge for professional and college football (the pointy kind...) in the states. If they are focusing on the 18-24 demographic's attention, it will be fractured as those people are the same ones who are watching and attending the college sports. And, that weekend is already a big travel holiday so I don't see how it adds to the volume of people in Las Vegas. It will certainly pump up the hotel rates but a different weekend would probably have been better if the city wanted to focus on added tourist draw from F1, IMHO.
    I'm sure F1 and the city will put on a good show but the viewer and physical attendance numbers will be interesting.

    F1's pursuit of money in Las Vegas predates DtS by some decades.
    Whether or not it's a desert mirage is another question.

    Yep - and drunken weddings in seedy chapels. But most of all a try-hard attempt at making a desert
    look like a gaudy mish-mash of other parts of the world. Conspicuous consumption at it's most
    blatant. It should be the capital of the USA.

    Pretty certain the casinos will remain open throughout & the corwds for
    the F1 will be seen as a bonus
    trafic on the strip is usually a night mare anyway & it is often better to walk (mono rail runs behind the west side of the strip as well.
    I would bet it is the resorts that have been the prime drivers in this
