A high-profile Las Vegas strip club has captured the mood of Nevadans that find the upcoming 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix a curse more than a blessing. Famed strip club Crazy Horse III has drawn high praise from Vegas locals on social media channels after it announced Tuesday details of its “Anti-Race Weekend” event.
Crazy Horse III, however, has a struck a golden marketing seam. It has caught everyone’s attention via an event name that captures the anti-F1 sentiment among locals but is still offering racing fans “live racing coverage on the club’s 30, 100-inch flat screens TVs complete with surround sound.”
Analysts refer to how the motor sports takeover of The Strip “has harmed the vast majority of businesses in Las Vegas, not just during the three-day event, but in the months leading up to it.”
"We don't need Formula 1... Formula 1 needs us. We want to be compensated for the losses we incurred because of everything the county and the LVCVA did to host F1," said local business owner Wade Bohn.
While most of the reactions to the anti-F1 event were about expressing praise for the idea, some responses pointed to a deeper local resentment towards the Grand Prix. Multiple property owners in Sin City are suing the Formula One Group for loss of earnings over the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, they say.
