VegasSinner:
Question, how come the leg looks so easy and located in just one place (The strip to be exact). (I mean, where;s the detour and the final roadblock?)? Usually, Final Legs are the most tense of all legs right?

I cannot answer that. All I know is that they flew into Vegas and landed sometime between 1pm and 1:45pm... I don't know where they flew in from, (I had heard someone say Atlanta, but cannot confirm that one) they were instructed to go directly from McCarren airport to the chapel which is located in the downtown area. It's only about a 30 minute drive, however if there is traffic or they get a unknowing cabbie, it could take 45 minutes. ALL three teams arrived at the chapel at the SAME time and it was around 2:30 or so. They all left the chapel within seconds of each other. The clue that Elvis handed them said to go to the MGM, and that Wayne Newton would be involved. I have no idea what they were to do at the hotel, or if there was a detour or roadblock after that.
north09:
You say you saw the three teams then? What did the other two look likes besides the father/son?
I'm downloading a map of the MGM right now. It could be useful in determining where at the hotel the race ended.
VegasSinner:
For what it's worth, I took a look at the archived images of the MGM Grand webcam (it's Cam 2) http://www.earthcam.com/usa/nevada/lasvegas/# and I didn't see any sign of the racers, but that doesn't mean much. There's also a wedding chapel cam (cam 1) and it did show a couple of weddings, one with Elvis, but no racers there either. It did appear that the camera was off for a portion of the day and only showed black images.

There are over 80 wedding chapels on the Las Vegas Strip...that is not the one the teams came into. And the cam of the MGM shows the walkway that connects the MGM, the Tropicana hotel and the NY NY hotels....it's outside the hotel, and is not the entrance where they would walk in. Whatever they did at the MGM, I was hoping they'd make their way to the famous Las Vegas Sign on the outskirts of the city...that would make a great finale.
VegasSinner:
If VegasSinner has it right (and it sounds possible), there was probably more to the stop at the wedding chapel than he described and they probably had another task before that. As I recall, it's not very far from McCarran Airport to the MGM so as described, it won't take long, although traffic will provide tension. I hope they do something outside of the city, maybe a bungee jump at Hoover Dam, or water ski on Lake Mead or even search for dead mobsters in the desert. ;D
They didn't go directly to the MGM from the airport....they went to the chapel from the airport. The chapel is in the downtown area, a lot farther away. Also take into consideration, the Strip is 5 miles long....then add 3 1/2 more to get to the downtown (Old Vegas) area. I doubt if they'd let them bungee jump at the Dam with all the issues they've had, water skiing on the lake sounds more realistic, but not a big deal worthy of a reality show. I can't wait to watch though.
VegasSinner:
Thanks to VegasSinner, this make my previous finding of a carema crew sighting at the Chapel of the Bells seem all that much more reasonable.

This is not the chapel they were in. Sorry.
