Oh, I love Vegas (because it feels more like an amusement park for grown-ups than it does an actual place...and it's a good starting point to get to some beautiful, quiet places. When we went in Dec. it included a day with a rental car and driving around Death Valley). I can't wait to see what it's like running with thousands of other people on the Strip. I've never done a race with more than about 6k other runners, so this will be a new experience on every level.
