F1 returns to Sin City this weekend with hope that the Las Vegas Grand Prix will go down better with the local community than it did last year. The night race down The Strip looked spectacular and drove a $1.5 billion boost to the local economy, but months of construction work and the closure of the vital roadway did not endear it to those who call the city home. The installation of the grandstands along the route that block iconic views like the Bellagio Fountains began later this year, and traffic lane disruptions did not start until early October as…

We really thought they would work it out… but no. Another Las Vegas strike is happening – this time at Virgin – right before the big F1 race, and the timing is surely not a coincidence. Don’t misunderstand, we truly appreciate the workers position. And we want everyone who works for a living to make a reasonable wage. But we can’t help but notice that the unions have made it a habit of using big events like the Grand Prix to coerce the resorts that employ them and manipulate the situation to their advantage. That’s all fine and dandy. You…

Just in time for the big race, Virgin Las Vegas is looking at a work stoppage. But hey, what would F1 be without drama? You may recall this is a pretty similar scenario to what happened just before last year’s Grand Prix race, and again just before the Super Bowl, when thousands of culinary workers threatened to walk off the job just before the event.

Unionized employees are planning a walkout this Friday, potentially impacting Virgin Las Vegas staff levels just days before the high-profile Las Vegas Grand Prix. Representatives from…

Not everything will be better about this year’s upcoming Las Vegas F1 race. While construction issues have been greatly reduced, and the process of preparing for the crowds has gone much more smoothly, the financial return for MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment is expected to be much less than the inaugural event. During quarterly earnings calls, executives from MGM and Caesars each expressed concerns about the financial returns for this years race to investors and analysts. With expectations of returns for the 2024 Las Vegas F1 race so negative, both companies are now projecting multi-million dollar declines. Despite this, both…
