This will be the third year that I haven’t gone, the longest time ever for me. The first year was a combination of expenses from buying a house and Vegas focusing more and more on high rollers with less available for budget travelers. The second year was because of how badly things were being screwed up by the whole F1 thing. I couldn’t see spending the money to get there, only to have iconic sights closed or barely visible, room rates shot ridiculously high, rides costing more because of the traffic disruptions, etc.
I won’t be going again this year because of F1. I hope it’s true that they’re actually trying to improve things but I don’t have a lot of faith in it. They claimed it wasn’t going to be that bad last year too. I don’t know when I’ll be back.
