BACKGROUND:
On October 24, 2026, the Office of Sports and Special Events received an application for preliminary approval from Brooksee Inc regarding the special event, Las Vegas Marathon, scheduled for January 10, 2027, at 2535-6150 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Las Vegas Strip from Sahara Ave to Sunset Rd).
The special event is a marathon along Las Vegas Boulevard S (Las Vegas Strip) from Sahara Ave to Sunset Rd on January 10, 2027. The event will feature three race distances: a full marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles), and a 7.02-mile race, all of which include public rights-of-way in city of Las Vegas’ jurisdiction. The event expects a mix of approximately 15,000 participants and spectators. Traffic controls for full closure of Las Vegas Blvd are expected from Sahara Ave to Sunset Rd with traffic controls on Paradise Rd from Sahara to Elvis Presley Blvd. All cross streets and ingresses/egresses to private properties will be controlled by barricades and/or vehicles. Additional traffic controls will be in place for the following major streets crossing Las Vegas Blvd: Sahara Ave, Spring Mountain Rd/Sands Ave, Flamingo Rd, Harmon Ave, Tropicana Ave, Russell Rd, and Sunset Rd. Message boards on Interstates 11 and 15 and cross streets on Las Vegas Blvd will announce road closures prior to and during the special event. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police will also add traffic support. A rolling open of cross streets on Las Vegas Blvd will take place immediately after the last runner has passed each intersection. Las Vegas Blvd is expected to fully open by 12 noon, with barricade removals by 6:00 p.m.
Under Clark County Code 2.70.050(E), an applicant for a Special Event Preliminary Approval may be required to appear before the Board for a public hearing under certain conditions. A public hearing is required for this application because the event will require a full closure of the Las Vegas Boulevard and will have significant impact on the roadways adjacent to Las Vegas Boulevard. This Special Event also has the potential to cause disorder, disturbances, excessive loitering, and nuisances at or near Las Vegas Boulevard.
Staff recommend that the Board consider whether to approve or deny the Brooksee Inc request for preliminary approval, and if approved, whether any conditions should apply.
