Total Disaster
The number pick up lines at the start were an absolute disaster. Too many people and not enough volunteers. I'm also pissed that I placed third in age division and to this day I have NOT received my award and I have contacted them at least 12 times with no result. TOTALLY MISMANAGED!

Expensive Race, confusing course, poor management
A run down the strip at dusk in theory seems fun. However there are a significant number of turns in the 2nd half of the course in very poorly lit areas, with next to no direction from course officials which made the last 6 miles of the course quite difficult. It was difficult during the last several miles of the marathon as several 1/2 marathoners spilled over into our lanes, spectators were just walking in the way, it was quite the scene. Course aid stations were fine. I was able to be tracked throughout the race via the race App, but now two weeks later there is still no evidence in the results that I ran the race. I have reached out to the race organization and filled out their online results correction form and still no one can tell me what my time was or what the issue seems to be. I've run races much bigger, and much smaller than this and have never had this issue. The t-shirt is poor quality given the price paid for this race. The start village is fine, but getting into 'waves' and then 'corrals' was a joke. The expo was decent. If you need to run NV as I needed for 50 states you might want to consider another race.

Poorly organized, chaotic start, confusing course
Start was a mess. Why assign corrals when everyone is just going to line up and get squeezed through to the start en masse? Very slow and frustrating for runners to be positioned behind rows of walkers. The race started more than 30 minutes late - frustrating for any runner accustomed to planning out their nutrition & last minute washroom runs. The half / full course split was initially clear but poor lighting, a huge number of runners and confusing signage resulted in a wrong turn that took me right to the finish having run just over 26K. Disappointed with everything about this overpriced race.
