Organization - For the most part, the race organizers were great. Everything was clearly laid out on the website. Unfortunately I didn't receive the last email prior to race day, which had some pretty important information. That must've been a glitch in the system but as I said, the website was great and I found all the info I needed there anyway. I did bring it to their attention on Twitter and they replied to me promptly, which I appreciated.
Expo - Package pickup was very easy and efficient. There was a big variety of running brands there and some booths had sales. Unfortunately not on the brands I like.
Course - straight and flat but can be crowded at times. It can also be dark when you're off the strip but headlamps aren't necessary. Next time I'd wear glow necklaces or bracelets or something fun. The on-course entertainment was fun to watch and listen to. It also seems that they change bands at certain spots. I wanted to take a photo of the KISS cover band but when I saw their stage the second time, they were replaced. Oh well! Running on the main drag of the strip was the best part of the race though.
Swag - I love the race shirt and the medal. I would wear the shirt again easily and the medal is just cool because it glows and spins multiple ways. Definitely a great keepsake.
Would I Do It Again? Yes I would. I'd love to go back with some friends and run this race and do the Remix this time. It was a party atmosphere and running under the bright lights of the Strip just made it that much more fun.
