Formula (1) for Turmoil
For more than two months annually, the entertainment capital of the world makes its most well known attractions partially or completely unavailable. The world renowned Bellagio Fountains blocked by massive viewing stands, the Venetian 'canal' drained, overpasses visually blocked (lest a non-paying passerby may see an F1 car for the millisecond it takes to roar past at 200 mph). Lighting, fencing, road closures, lane reductions, barricades and restricted access all along and near the 3.75 mile 'track' surrounding the Strip.
The race lasts about two hours.
Sound crazy?
There is that $1,000,000,000 (that's billion, with a 'B' as they say) spent by the 175,000 visitors that week.
It will take some getting used to.
We'll have the chance to find out. The current contract lasts through 2027.
