I know a lot of folks out in Vegas and it's unanimous: they all hated the whole thing. Maybe it was good for the bottom line for the big shots, I haven't seen anything along those lines yet, but it looked like a complete shit show to me the last few times I went out there. I was there a few days before the race and the strip looked horrible. Like someone else said, the Bellagio fountains were blocked by seating. It was like driving through a construction zone.
