This was my first time doing RnR Vegas in any capacity. I came out for the Remix Challenge after a conference. I arrived Friday night and ended up going to the Expo Saturday morning

Expo: Goes over 3 days, Thurs/Fri/Sat of race week. Limited opportunities to purchase bib pick up at the race itself. Plenty of vendors (Garmin, races, RnR gear, NRC, etc). You could register for future races if you chose. Pretty easy to get your bib. Had to show ID and no family member or friend could pick up for you. If you were running a Sunday race, you were given a wrist band with your 5K bib to get your remix medal after the Sunday events

Cost: pricey for a 5K. I paid $49.99 with $7 of transaction fees in June for a 5K in November if that says anything, and it goes up from there with registration in the Spring

Date: The Saturday of race weekend

Getting There: take the Monorail and walk through SLS. It gets to be a bit of walk

Security: with the recent events in Vegas, bags were searched and water was dumped out before you entered the grounds

Corrals: 24 total and you could only enter the corral on your bib or a slower corral and they were enforcing it pretty well.

Course: out and back course that starts at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in front of the SLS. It goes down Sammy Davis Jr. Drive with a small detour down Wilber Clark Di West and back. There was only one water stop and that was at mile 2, but it wasn't even in the middle of the street for runners to hit twice, which would have been nice. There were some lights, but it could have been better lit in my opinion. The last 1/3 of a mile was in the Festival Grounds and you spent it winding around to get your last 1/3 mile in. I wish the course would have been something more on road rather than having to go in circles at the end.

Post Race After you crossed the finish, you got your medal, there was some water and some sort of supplement bar that didn't look appetizing and some pretzels and that was it. Considering the headliner concert got moved to Saturday after the 5K, it would have been nice to have some more food other than food for purchase available

Overall, it was ok. Maybe consider a better location, because you really didn't see the Vegas strip at all with the 5K. Good way to kick off the weekend though
