New Las Vegas Marathon Could Pay Millions

Organizers of the new race are offering $1.25 million for men's or women's world records set on the relatively flat course planned in part along the Las Vegas Strip.

"We are going to make history," said New Las Vegas Marathon Chairman Bernie Yuman, longtime manager of Siegfried & Roy and confidant of Muhammad Ali. "We are going to bring in people from all over the world."

If Siegfried & Roy's manager can't do it, nobody can.
