So it's making the rounds of Vegas news and some national outlets that the GP organizers are trying to make up some of the costs by requiring any venue with viewing access to the circuit pay up. It's max capacity times $1500. Supposedly Planet Hollywood and a few casinos not in the main drag are starting to vent and talk about it, been threatened with lights shining at their windows and walls being put up. Cousin worked out in Vegas for years and hearing from friends there's a bit of anger from the smaller folks in town about the new race, will be interesting to see how it develops.
Repaving of some sections of the course is underway and started some of the anger closing lanes and easy access at the door for some outlets.
