[quote=Anonymous]Haven't been there in many years as we're not big gamblers but decided to plan a trip there in early October for a particular concert/show. Much to our surprise, and chagrin, it appears there are now nightmares aplenty due to the upcoming Formula One Race in November.

The Strip is completely torn up, entry to many of the big hotels is limited or curtailed, popular sights like the Bellagio fountain show have stopped, they've torn out many living trees, sidewalks/walkways are blocked by grandstands being constructed, and there are massive traffic jams everywhere and the cost to go from the airport to a hotel may take an hour or more and cost a fortune. Many hotels are already putting up view-blocking screens across room windows due to F1 requirements, because they don't want people to see the race from their windows since they haven't coughed up the money to do so.

I will admit our ignorance. We knew the F1 was coming to Vegas in November but had no idea there were such massive infrastructure changes happening up and down The Strip. And this is not a one-off. F1 will continue to be in Vegas for future races.

Word of warning to others. Hope you learn from our mistakes and don't book anything the next few months, or any other months prior to when F1 will be in town.
