| - I ran the full marathon last night, 11/15/15.. it was an awesome experience. Starting out with a free kid rock concert to get everyone pumped!!! We ran the entire strip in the new and old las vegas! As stated in some of the other reviews, once you pass all the glitz and glamour, you run through an industrial park with not much to look at, but the rock-n-roll crew did do an awesome job with the cheer teams, music and neon lights throughout those parts!! There were plenty of water stations/gatorade and porta-potties along the way also! This was my first marathon and I'm glad I chose to do it here!! My one and single complaint is the finish at the end. You have to walk about a mile to get out of the gated area..which after running 26, is a lot on tired legs & aching joints! You have loved ones waiting by the finish line to see you cross, but then you both have to walk quite a distance to be able to meet up! I should add though, upon finishing..they hand out chocolate milk, water, Gatorade, beer (haha), protein bars, pretzels, bananas (some other stuff I saw people grabbing, but my hands were full!!) Overall, it was awesome and I do recommend this race :)
