I have never seen so much collective anger from locals over anything to do with the Strip as there is over F1. Does F1 understand that offering $200 tickets is too little, too late and likely to rile up the natives even more?
I tend to agree. I've been trying to think if there was anything else that came to Vegas and screwed up so badly. They are a PR disaster and don't seem to have the slightest clue.
I know nothing about F1 and would be willing to pay up to $100 per ticket for my son and I, even though it will be hell getting in and out. Maybe the tickets will be hot in the days leading up to the race, maybe they will be worthless. Who knows. We'll see.
This offer seems to confirm the rumors that the event is not selling as they had planned. I don't think it has anything to do with making locals happy. They just don't want empty seats on TV.
F1 is not about the natives and F1 doesn't give a rat's ass about the natives. F1 is about money. Plain and simple. And it will make a buttload of money. Locals will continue to bitch forever about F1 and every Fall it will come to town, make its money and then leave until next year. In the meantime, the pols who made the deal will move on (or just continue to ignore the complaints of the unwashed masses) while using their F1 money to fund their campaign for the next office.
The Strip hotels quit pretending to care about locals a long time ago. Charging to park was the last straw. It is all about how to grind every last nickel that they can.
Some Strip properties have no choice but to charge for parking. Convention goers & other cheapskates often look for the free parking garages to leave their cars at, only to stiff the property where the garage sits and walk to the Convention Center or go patronize neighboring casino that charges for parking. That leaves the casino property offering free parking with little to no parking spaces for its customers that actually spend money at its hotel, casino, restaurants, etc. It’s a domino effect.
Not 325. But a dismissal of charges is neither a vindication nor an acquittal.
This kid is going to carry these accusations for his entire life. Probably rightfully so. But, Ross made his money on this one and the family has money and will definitely face a civil Suit.

Interesting COA published decision today about party-prepared orders. Also not necessarily a ringing endorsement of Senior Judge Saitta.
Just read it. Thanks for posting about it. It's time to reign in some of the sloppiness and abuse on this issue. Also, are we really in October and there are only 44 published opinions? What the hell?
Unfortunately, there also are too many district court judges (and/or their law clerks) who just rubber stamp party-drafted orders, even when the other side submits a competing order.
We talked about this practice a few weeks ago in which Judges put out 2 sentence minute orders that became 41 page orders. But I want to talk about the trainwreck that I suspect the Eivazi case was…. This case came out of a department that was Lisa Brown and became Cutter with Saitta sitting in. Of course Saitta did not review the 61 page order because by the time it came in she was not part of the proceedings any longer. It was tasked to Cutter's law clerk mere weeks after Cutter took the bench. And don't get me started on the disaster that has been Cutter.

quick question: does post judgment interest get calculated on the entire judgment amount? including pre-judgment interest?
for example: if the entire judgment is $1m, and $100K of that is pre-judgment interest, then would post judgment interest be calculated on the entire $1m? or just the 900K?
Post judgment interest is calculated on the entire judgment amount "for any debt, damages or costs" (NRS 17.130). So, in your example, post-judgment interest is calculated on the entire $1M.
Correct. If your judgment is $1m and some component of that is pre-judgment interest, that doesn't matter. Post-judgment interest accrues on the entire amount, but also remember that it is simple interest and does not compound.
I have never been to or watched F1. Is it worth $200 plus aggravation of getting there? Do I have to dress up/down/clown to fit in?
Bring earplugs….it gets LOUD

Wonder what the resale value might be?

I hope the Culinary goes out on strike about a day or so before this starts. What a boondoggle this is.

1:43 is likely right. Discounted tickets always means that sales are slacking.
Some Strip properties have no choice but to charge for parking. Convention goers & other cheapskates often look for the free parking garages to leave their cars at, only to stiff the property where the garage sits and walk to the Convention Center or go patronize neighboring casino that charges for parking.

I remember when this story made it rounds on the blog and everyone was quick to condemn him.
Similar to what we learned about the Trevor Bauer case recently
I wouldn't exactly call either situation a vindication.
To 3:25, why do you say so?

Well, hallelujah!!
Seriously though, why did COA write a 27 page opinion when it's not usable for any other purpose. pointless.
Just read it. Thanks for posting about it. It's time to reign in some of the sloppiness and abuse on this issue. Also, are we really in October and there are only 44 published opinions? What the hell?
1:15 – why isn't it usable?
1:15. It’s published. So it’s useable.
It is usable and it’s about damn time. Family court judges are the worst at this.
Unfortunately, there also are too many district court judges (and/or their law clerks) who just rubber stamp party-drafted orders, even when the other side submits a competing order.
1:15 here- I know this is shocking coming from a lawyer, but I apologize that I was mistaken.
Well done 1:15.
