Here is great news for Las Vegas. I read that they are moving the Ironman World Championship 70.3 from Clearwater, Florida to Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada which is just minutes from the Las Vegas strip.

Slated for Sept. 11, 2011, the race begins with a 1.2-mile swim in Lake Las Vegas at Lake Las Vegas Resort. Next, athletes will embark on a challenging 56-mile bike through Lake Mead National Recreation Area that includes several steep climbs. Participants will finish with a 13.1-mile run through Henderson’s scenic residential areas with views of the Las Vegas Strip.

I wouldn't make it through one leg of that! These contests are pretty cool to watch though and it will add some more tourism to Las Vegas which is awesome.

“It is a privilege to host the Ironman World Championship 70.3,” said Frank Lowery, race director. “This course will be labeled as one of, if not the toughest, in the United States. The challenging race, coupled with endless entertainment options and its proximity to the famous Las Vegas Strip, will provide the ultimate event experience for athletes.”

This is awesome! I am really excited about this! True, this will surely boost tourism in Vegas. It does not matter if you're living in Sin City or just going for a visit. Sometimes, money loans are things you need while going to the city. Be it an unpredicted vehicle repair that you have to get to work, a small shortfall you need to bridge until payday or some additional money for escape, online pay day loans can help. The application process for a LV loan takes five minutes or less. Once you are approved, the cash makes it to your banking account in two hrs or less. This is really a secure bet in Sin City.
