How cool is it to run on the strip at night? I have done this race 3 years in a row because of the fun factor. Here is the pro/con breakdown (half marathon):\n\nPRO: you are in vegas! \nMost of the course is fantastic- 10+ miles on the strip at night.\nBands, spectators, costumed runners & all the fun.\n\nThe finisher area was very organized. Yes it was crowded but i was able to just keep walking straight & get my medal, blanket, photo & all the snacks. love the chocolate milk!\n\nVERY flat course.\n\nI know most people said they can't get a PR here but 2 years in a row i did due to how flat the run is. I did have to squeeze & dodge  in between a lot of runners though to keep my pace.\n\nCONS: \nExpensive- but shutting down the strip must be costly so i can live with it as long as prices don't increase.\n\nSo many liars in corrals they shouldn't be in. I spent 6 miles weaving through slowpokes who should have started further back. So frustrating. & ladies don't walk/run 4 abreast blocking the entire middle! \n\nThe Expo seemed smaller & much more crowded. We came on Friday to try to avoid this but it was ridiculous.\n\nThe bananas this year at the finisher area were all mushy & gross. Not a big deal but i was looking forward to having one.\n\nOverall this run is a great time & i will be back.
