Fdil Ismail, a single mother of four, has worked at the Horseshoe — formerly Bally’s — the past 20 years.
Her daily routine includes dropping her children at school and then taking Flamingo Road to the central Las Vegas Strip to begin her shift. It’s supposed to be a quick commute.
But she finds herself driving around Koval Lane, Tropicana Avenue and Flamingo — all muddled with construction to remake the Strip for the Nov. 16-18 Las Vegas Grand Prix — with hopes of arriving at work on time. She’s leaving the house three hours before her shift and now is unable to bring her kids to school.
