Formula One is reshaping not only the surface of the Las Vegas Strip for its inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, running from November 16-18, but also the world beneath that surface.<\/p>\n

Shortly after miles of flood channels were constructed beneath Las Vegas in the 1980s, a population of unhoused people discovered that they provide daytime shelter from the unrelentingly hot sun, a better measure of security than sleeping on the streets, and a break from the police officers who clear the Strip of unhoused people at night.

A series of interconnected concrete flood channels ushers stormwater beneath the Las Vegas Strip to Lake Mead from its origin in the mountains west of Las Vegas. Known to local Las Vegans as \u201cthe tunnels,\u201d they are bone dry between storms, when they house a population thought to swell to around 1,000 people.<\/p>\n

Signs announcing a \u201cTunnel Clean Out for Formula 1\u201d currently warn that a \u201ctactical unit\u201d will clear the tunnels \u201cof any human presence\u201d on November 15, after which the tunnels will be inaccessible until November 20.<\/p>\n

The signs were first reported by YouTuber Sarah Jane Woodall in the latest video for her popular \u201cWonderhussy Adventures\u201d<\/a> channel. They were posted at the entrance to the most densely populated section of the tunnel, alongside Flamingo Road between the Rio and Caesars Palace.<\/p>\n

\n

I can\u2019t really think of why or how a bunch of folks living underground could possibly disrupt a Formula 1 race,\u201d<\/strong> Woodall said in her video. \u201cIn fact, I would think it would be the opposite \u2014 that all the noise of the race would disrupt the people trying to sleep down there.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cCan you imagine, you don\u2019t have anywhere to live, you find this tunnel to hunker down in, and then these racers come in and even kick you out of that?\u201d<\/p>\n

F1\u2019s sign lists the contact information for several local homeless shelters, but the closest is miles away.<\/p>\n

\n

How is a homeless person, with all their worldly possessions in a shopping cart, supposed to get from here \u2026 to any of these shelters?\u201d<\/strong> Woodall asked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Casino.org <\/em>emailed this and other questions to the F1 press office and the Shine a Light Foundation, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded to help improve the lives of the tunnel population.<\/p>\n

At the time of this publication, neither has responded.<\/p>\n
