1. THE RUNNER TAKEOVER
There is no better feeling than being a part of a massive weekend. 40,000 people from 50 states and 64 countries, all coming to run–and take over–the famed Las Vegas Strip at Night.
2. THE STRIP
Whether you’re riding in a taxi from the airport, walking the sidewalk from casino to casino, or reveling at it from atop the High Roller Wheel, there is nothing in the world like this 4.2 mile stretch of neon beauty.
3. THE HOTELS
15 of the world’s 25 largest hotels wrap the Strip, housing over 150,000 hotel rooms. And the best part? They know darn well it’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon weekend.
4. THE ENTERTAINMENT
Britney Spears? Check. Cirque du Soleil? Check (7 of them). Seeing the crazy costumes people run in? Check, and free.
5. THE FOOD
Rated top-ten in the country for great food, and for good reason. Pick any top celebrity chef and they’ve got their name on something in Las Vegas. Into wine? There are more master sommeliers in Las Vegas than Los Angeles and New York City combined.
6. THREE DAY HEALTH & FITNESS EXPO

7. THE T-SHIRTS
Dark colored to embody the night races, but bright designs to reflect the Las Vegas neon lights, these are t-shirtsyou need in your collection.

What other race can you get treated to a massive headliner concert from a 70 ft long stage with 30,000 of your closest friends, BEFORE you run?!
11. THE START LINE EXPERIENCE
The “pre-race jitters” are different here. The community is tremendous and as you cross the line, fire shoots into the sky. YES.
