All gas no breaks: F1 in Vegas

November 14, 2023

The pros and cons of bringing one of Europe's most popular motorsports to Sin City.



This week, hosts Joey Lovato and Jacob Solis talk about Formula One (F1) on the eve of the first F1 race in Las Vegas in over 40 years. They go over the possible economic benefits and the struggles Southern Nevadans have dealt with as The Strip undergoes repaving and shutdowns before the race. They talk with former Gov. Steve Sisolak, analyst Brendan Bussmann and reporter Jannelle Calderón, who braved The Strip to talk to tourists about F1.
