Plus, the very wide street area sets up well for a street course and it will be run at night (midnight local time) - so the visuals will be quite a sight I’m guessing.
Indeed, Vegas streets are about as good as it gets for a street race in terms of layout. If there was one downside, it's relatively flat, and imo street racing really isn't the same without some hills and undulations in the road.
The lights and backdrop for a night race will be awesome in Vegas for sure. I might have to try and go. My wife has a sister who lives there, so we have a place to stay, which is nice.
