Creatd this page as new page for Vegas AOW races. The Las Vegas Grand Prix page is more appropriately an F1 page, and since there is now a recreation of the event, which clearly appears to be simply "Vegas Grand Prix" (no "Las" in the title), this page can closely resemble how we resolved the Detroit GP pages. Page is still under construction. Doctorindy 19:52, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Removed the references to races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as they are not relevant to Grand Prix races held in downtown Las Vegas or on the Strip.
If someone wants to create a page for the History of OW racing in Las Vegas, that would be a better place.
Also, I believe this page and all pages relating to Champ Car Grand Prix races should be titled (place of race) Champ Car Grand Prix, i.e. Belgium Champ Car Grand Prix; Cleveland Champ Car Prix; because the name of the races each year will change depending on title sponsors. For example the page for the Grand Prix of Edmonton for this year is Rexall Grand Prix of Edmonton; 2006 was West Edmonton Mall Grand Prix. Links on most pages are set to look for West Edmonton but that page no longer exists.
Also, should remove the merge recommend banner as the two entities are entirely different.

The CanAm races 1966-68 were held at the old Stardust Raceway and was officially called the Stardust Grand Prix.
The Formula One races in 1981 and 1982 were officially called the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The CART Indycar races 1983-84 were officially called Caesar's Palace Grand Prix.
The IMSA/ALMS races between 1997-2000 were officially called the Grand Prix of Las Vegas.
Archived for the time being the IRL results at LVMS. Until they are replaced somewhere else, or back on this page, this chart should be placed here so the information (and the work put into it) is not lost. Doctorindy 14:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

After over a year of inaction, I have taken the effort to merget the non-F1 history of the Las Vegas races and LVMS races into one article. It will be divided cleanly, and easy to follow. It is widely rumored and generally accepted as certian, that the IRL will return to LVMS for 2009, and cleaning up this page and its history will be appropirate. For now, it will sit at Hurricane Relief 400 until an official race name is announced. Doctorindy ( talk) 17:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

IZOD IndyCar World Championships → Indycar races in Las Vegas – Fails WP:PRECISE, as the current title only refers to the most recent event described in this article. On top of that it also fails WP:RECOGNISABILITY and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as I think it can be fairly assumed that most people would expect an article at this title to either cover the 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship or the Indycar Series in general. Moving this article to a WP:NDESC would also reduce the implication that there is some sort of formal lineage or continuity between the different events described here, which could be interpreted as WP:OR or at the very least WP:SYNTH. The subject of this article (as it currently exists) is American open-wheel car races held in the Las Vegas area generically; I believe that the aforementioned 2011 event is likely the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the current title and that it should probably redirect there.
