Letter: Marathon is a winner for Vegas

Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2003 | 8:53 a.m.

Regarding the Las Vegas Marathon that was recently run, it seems to me that this would give great attention to the city of Las Vegas, should it continue.

I know of at least one young woman who came to Las Vegas from Fort Smith, Ark., to run. She has run in Boston, Chicago and now in Las Vegas. If even half of the runners were from out of state (or country) that would mean greater business for our hotels, theaters, restaurants and maybe more, who would be hosting the remaining 4,000, plus their friends and families!

Somebody pick up this ball and "run with it."
