I can just see it now: two cars flying down the strip at 212 mph, they bump, lose control and fly through the air, over any temporary barrier and into a crowd of water sellers, celebrity impersonators and pick pockets.
1955 LeMans, redux?

Don't forget about the Porn Slappers.

I was going to mention them but I haven't been to sin city in years and wasn't sure if they're still a fixture on the strip, post-covid restrictions; sounds like they still are a nuisance and a presence.
Mea culpa; add them to the list as well.
Quote: SOOPOOWow. A large area will be ‘inside’ the track! Will that area be totally isolated from the outside world or are their any bridges/tunnels? I’m wondering if a room at hotel X with a view of where the race will run, is normally $Y, what multiple of $Y will the room be going for that weekend?

Does Monte Carlo have a problem with this?
What I want to know is, what is currently in the area shown as being between turns 14 and 4? Google Satellite shows a couple of empty lots next to Harbor View Apartments. Presumably, those were chosen intentionally to be near the finish line as, traditionally, that is where pit road is located. I wonder if they even considered making the northbound lanes of the Strip pit road and having the finish line near the end of the Strip straightaway.
I notice that, unlike with most other Formula 1 races (including Indianapolis, when it was held there), this race will be run counterclockwise.

Those Harborview apartments used to be a drug lair and prostitution den. A fitting place for a pit. I used to date a girl that lived there.
