Not much changed between 2014 and 2015, so below is a list of pros and cons for this race:

Pros:
• Online registration is easy.
• Rock ‘n’ Roll expos can’t be beat (take my money!)
• Packet pickup is efficient and well-staffed
• It’s the only event that shuts down the strip, and is the best way to view the entire strip
• Getting to see a Grammy-winning performance before a race (at no additional cost above your registration fees)
• The Remix Challenge gives you the opportunity to earn more bling
• It’s one of the largest races in the series
• Plenty of hotel options with shuttle service to the race
• Race management handles a very large number of participants well

Cons:
• Releasing the corrals closer together (compared to 2014) caused a huge backup of runners on the course. I suggest Rock ‘n’ Roll consider capping the number of participants for this race at a lower number
• Having the headliner before the race causes a lot of standing around before racing
• Through no fault of the race organizers, the weather can be dicey in November
