[Saba Sports News] Formula One makes its return to Las
Vegas after a 41-year hiatus. The F1 track is situated in the heart of the
city, and a temporary lane has been constructed around the main strip, allowing
drivers to race past iconic landmarks. Interestingly, there are at least 15 gentlemen’s
clubs and strip clubs in close proximity to the circuit. It’s not an
exaggeration to say that the Las Vegas Grand Prix circuit is surrounded by
these establishments. It wouldn’t be uncommon to see a stripper waving to the
fans while an F1 car speeds by during a race. Prior to the race, Toro Rosso’s
Daniel Ricciardo was cautioned to be alert for any strippers on the track. Las
Vegas has earned the moniker “Sin City” due to its association with
gambling, alcoholism, violence, drug abuse, pornography, and other vices, with
strip clubs being just one aspect of the city.
