It's great to experience a race in Vegas but that stadium leaves plenty to be desired. I'm out this year, heading to SD for the Air Races instead. Have fun guys.

MGM? It's across the street from where I'm staying...over in the loooooow rent district. Smile

What's the law in Nevada regarding people sitting in the back of trucks? If it's legal, I'll stuff as many as I can in the back of the Vital MX truck and start running shuttles. Wink

The sun sets on the left side of that image.

Industry seating is on the upper left.

In practice, I mostly shoot on the right side, since it offers more backlighting. The other side will give you some pretty flat light.
Right, sun sets on the left side, which means you want the seats there - that's considered the "shade side". THe other side (right side) is considered the "sun side." Those seats get full sun and when the sun is going down you're looking right into it.

I've been there twice and I'd certainly try to get seats on the left (in that pic) if I was going to go again.

Upper left hand corner............Not really a bad seat in the stadium since it's small.

I agree, its actually my favorite venue. We've been on the right side and at the bottom (south side) a couple of times. Decided to use the free ones this time Smile

best seats are under the press box. Sun sets to the west and you are in the shade all afternoon. It will be near 95 by next week That shade feels nice.

I apologize in advance for digging up an 8 year old relic but does anyone know where industry seating in Vegas usually is? Section #? Or even side of the stadium? My cousin got hooked up with some tickets in that section and I'd like to see if I can find some seats near by on stub hub or wherever. Thanks!
