Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS) rises from the desert as an oasis of speed mere miles from the famed Las Vegas Strip. LVMS, originally dreamed of and built by two Las Vegas casino magnets, Ralph Engelstad (Imperial Palace) and Bill Bennett (Sahara), opened to the public in June of 1996.

Judging by the relatively sparse attendance at Red Bull Arena, it appears the soccer craze hasn’t fully caught on in the New York area just yet. But with the brand new, state-of-the-art facility the Red Bulls have built, it shouldn’t take long. The arena, new for the 2010 season, is intuitively designed, squeaky clean, and [...]
