Has Vegas Already Become a Premier Sports Destination?
With Formula 1 returning to Las Vegas for the first time in almost 40 years, Donnovan takes a trip to Sin City ahead of the race to experience how the desert landscape has become one of the most sought-after pieces of sports real estate in North America. He chats with Andrew Lanzino (3:20), Vice President of Event Strategy & Sports Partnership at MGM Resorts, about how some of the world's most famous hotels - the Bellagio, the MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay - have adapted to having massive sporting events on the regular. Afterwards, with Super Bowl LVIII approaching in February, he speaks with Sam Joffrey (26:47), Executive Director of the Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee, about how the Raiders' NFL presence has transformed the Strip. Plus, Donnovan and Sho chat about Vegas as a sports town, the potential arrival of the NBA, and what to expect out of the Vegas Grand Prix itself.
