Las Vegas Grand Prix Updates

Las Vegas Grand Prix Updates

[Editor’s Note: Here are some recent updates regarding the Formula One race. They were graciously provided by our F1 expert and LVA correspondent extraordinaire, Peter R.

Tickets

Leftover F1 tickets are for sale at $200 a day for grandstand seating, but only for Nevada residents and, as far as we can tell, only today through midnight. The press release was utterly opaque, but news reports indicate that the $200 price ends exactly at the end of today. (Don’t quote us.)

When Packer’s father died in 1974, Kerry inherited a $100 million Australian media and casino empire. He was apparently dyslexic, a poor student in some ways and clearly brilliant in others.

Immersive Disney Is a Trip

I was back in Vegas last month and did the Disney Immersive exhibit at the Lighthouse ArtSpace at The Shops at Crystals.

It might surprise you to learn that my second favorite place to visit is Las Vegas. My wife and I are big Disney fans and she has no interest in Vegas, so my favorite place to visit is actually Disney World. In fact, we specifically moved to Florida to be just a car ride away.

Bobby Vegas: Over the Rainbow for Rainbow in Downtown Henderson

An LVA Member Rewards Book coupon run is always an adventure.

With the MRB, I’ve discovered such gems as Fat Choi at the Eureka, $1 oysters at Palace Station, the Downtown Grand prime rib, El Cortez’ half-off for seniors on Wednesdays at Siegel’s 1941, the buffet at South Point, and of course Ellis Island’s steak dinner. And that’s just the food. Video poker is the gold.
