Las Vegas Spaceport CEO Robert Lauer likes to tell people that the races he hopes to stage next year in the desert between Las Vegas and Pahrump will have vehicles that are faster than anything the Las Vegas Grand Prix will have in November.
Lauer, who heads the group trying to build a spaceport in Clark County on 240 acres just off State Highway 160, said by Oct. 24-27, 2024, when the inaugural Las Vegas Air Races are scheduled, there will be a runway and seating for 25,000 people on the property.
Clark County officials had no immediate reaction to plans and the status of permits for the event.
