Vegas GP in the news

The Grand Prix is coming to Las Vegas! It's a idea to bring more tourists to our city, but of course we get to enjoy it as well. We want to let you know how you can find out more about the race, and how it will affect downtown neighborhoods.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is part of the 2007 Champ Car World Series. It is scheduled for April 6th through the 8th. The race will actually happen on roads in and around downtown Las Vegas. It's a 2.4 mile course with 12 turns.

The city agreed to make a couple changes to roads on the course, but it hopes to make that money back, and a lot more, by bringing in an expected 150,000 people. Along with the cars winding around the track, there's a rock concert and a poker tournament planned. More, including video clip, at kvbc.com
