This is John Bachelor, conversation with my good colleague Jeff Bliss, Pacific Watch, who is also Vegas

Report, High Roller Bliss in Las Vegas, waiting for the events of the weekend and looking forward to early November,

Formula One racing returns to Las Vegas.

There is lingering on happiness, however, about last year's inaugural race of Formula One because the building of the track

locked off certain shopkeepers and I'm understanding from Jeff that lingering on happiness is not inconsistent with how this year is greeting the new the second Formula One race

Very exciting moments, but it's not a big town when you put in a Formula One

racetrack at those speeds in an event. Here's Jeff testifying. More of this tonight.

No, it hasn't gone away.

Some people have been made whole, as they say, with certain payments that I've heard of,

but there are still some people out there who are unhappy with what happened to them and they're looking to be compensated.

And no, you know, there's no doubt we'll see that again this year.

I would say a lot of the people here in Las Vegas are not exactly thrilled with it

because as time comes up to the race it gets harder and harder and harder to get

around town and I heard one couple we're talking about they were bemoaning the fact to get

the groceries could now be a half hour,

and I heard one, one couple were talking about,

could now be a half hour each way in the car,

or for people who work near the strip it's you know it's a couple

hours round trip if they're going to go there for work in the day to say it's a real

pain but there are other people who point to it say it brings in so much money it's going to

continue to bring in money because as it goes along it's building in prestige and

it's going to draw more and more people to the race.
