If you haven’t been paying close attention, you might not know that this is Grand Prix week in Las Vegas. Last November’s race was one of the city’s biggest events and this year’s will be, too, but it doesn’t have anywhere near the buzz of F1 No. 1. Prices for rooms and tickets are down and so is the enthusiasm, but the effects linger. Part of the race’s course runs from the Venetian to Aria, so that section of the Strip, as well as the streets in the vicinity to the east, will be blocked off. If you’re not paying the (still high) fees for a seat in the grandstands along the course, there’s no reliable way to catch a glimpse of the race, as the pedestrian bridges over the Strip along the race route have been outfitted with view-obstructing coverings. Recommendation: Watch it on TV.
