Preview: Vegas Grand Prix

We are big fans of racing here at VegasRy, but Champ Car seems to be on it's last legs. We have also been pretty rough on Downtown Las Vegas in our recent commentary. However, we think that the upcoming Champ Car race taking place downtown seems like a pretty cool idea.

Next weekend the Champ Car series Vegas Grand Prix will take place on a temporary circuit that snakes aroung Downtown Casinos:

The race is on Sunday April 8th, Easter Sunday, but there are a bunch of festivities throughout the weekend.

We really are more NASCAR and Formula One (Did you know F1 raced in the Caesars parking lot in 1981 and 82?) fans, but this does sound pretty slick. Will keep you updated.
