A business near the Las Vegas Strip was disappointed with the turnout from F1's race weekend.

If F1 impact on Las Vegas was $1.24 billion, show us who made the money. Do a story on what business made money above their usual numbers!

Every news station keep repeating, "economic impact of 1.28 billion dollars." Ok. Where that money at though? Who wants to be none of us plebs will see a single cent, let alone any of the small businesses around the strip.

It's about time you guys reach out to the non strip local businesses to check in with them during this situation, they feel forgotten

[fredrickmiltonthaddeusdoug]

They’re just making that number up, the shit was a bust. They will never admit it

[johnkim]

F1 fans are not going to any restaurants when the hotels are having food catered .

[joshj]

They need to leave and never come back

[hanskurtmann]

Total made up profit number, pure lies. This F1 race was a total failure both for the FIA and worst of all the Vegas locals.

[armenvegas]

F1 robbed lv businesses and left. Now we are still stuck removing their fencing

[stephgaitan]

They had unlimited food and people paid so much money for that. Why would they go eat somewhere else 😅

[baldisaerodynamic]

2 days of this race will not equal the "economic losses" F1 has caused for 9 months.

THEY SHOULD HAVE OPEN THE MSG SPHERE LIVE inside So people can buy it cheaper at 50 dollars

[juancarcamo]

As an uber driver this was a complete failure just like our leaders

[rrrrrrtt]

Also, may be people who are tourists want to eat something different from what they usually eat at home in Europe.

They are not making 1.28 billion the work and pavement along with after clean up. You first lied when you said it will only cost 7, million. Turn the page to the end and now you are telling tall tails again 🤥 ~ you failed to point out how it didn’t bring business to nobody outside the one casino or two that sold the package ~ I really doubt those casinos were full of people paying 15, 000~150, 000 per room package. Then to bottom off it killed business around town. Why would they try this a second time? Seriously this was a dud.

[armenvegas]

Thats an inflated lie.
Stands were 1/4th full.

I remember one of the times when I was down there roaming the streets they were in construction of th Sphere and dude I lost my car it took me hours to find it in this construction area parking it was like where I parked it disappeared then that area reappeared again

F1 was only good for a few, but bad for most! Unfortunately it will return because they benefited from tearing the city up.

[AA-eqwk]

they needed to give back to the locals to make this work... instead it was a money grab for the insiders... good luck with a future

Doesn't help the shops that were blocked by the barriers to pedestrian traffic.

The HIGH END crowd attending F1 are not going to that tacky restaurant, or cheap souvenir shop. ……Check the receipts at Fendi, Chanel, high end bars, and HIGH END restaurants at the Wynn, Encore, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, Aria. 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️🤔🤷🏼‍♂️🤔
