It isn’t often that crowds aren’t shoulder to shoulder at Bellagio’s popular conservatory display on a Saturday night. Or that there aren’t long lines at the hotel’s front desk. Or that the minimum bet at a blackjack table is $5,000.
But it also isn’t often that cars are whizzing along Las Vegas Boulevard at more than 200 mph.
The hustle and bustle that is a typical Saturday night at Bellagio hit a pause button at 10 p.m. That’s when the green flag dropped for the city’s second Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix.
“It’s really kinda weird,” said Henderson resident Tim Lewis who wanted to try to catch a glimpse of the race and missed out on getting into the Bellagio Fountain Club seating after it sold out.
