    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.

    FWIW

    The onsite F1 parlay and gaming market will soar.

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

    The date is suggested as November on a Saturday night, excepting Nov 25th. Article by Scott Mitchell, and some others. This to fit the COTA, Mex swing.

    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
