Maybe with the wine and brie crowd. Not the die hard purists.

The mint is a great race. The parade through Vegas is just that. A parade. There is still plenty of offroad racing and places you can watch the offroad action from. The city stuff just gives people a chance to see the cars up close and exposes new people to the sport.
I agree offshore racing is best when it is offshore but it is tough on the spectators. It's hard to see and even harder to keep track of the leaders. You have to try to keep the fans and spectators happy and attending races. Without crowds there are no sponsors and without sponsors there is no racing.
