then I've been curious, where did the old street course used to be?

It was in the parking lot of one of the ***'s wasn't it? (at least a
large portion of it...)

Here is the track layout of the F1 track :

The circuit you posted seems to be proposed, but never raced on. It was a
proposed F1 circuit back in 1998 or so.

If anyone is seriously interested in this boring track, I've got a decent
blue print of the construction layout, on 24" x 36" paper, that I could
have copied at Kinko's...
As far as I could see, F1 was wasted on most of Lost Wages...most of the
people in town didn't even know that there was a race on that weekend.

According to the drawing, the track was to the North (and a little
North-West) of the main Caesar's Palace, but I have no idea if that
building complex is still there. I seem to remember hearing that the Sands
Hotel that was next door has been torn down... Vegas changes rapidly!

I watched each from the last outer ring, so to speak. I saw Alan Jones
and Piquet have a "hockey moment" in warm ups which put Nelson off.
Saw Alan slow after a qualifying lap and raise the skirts on his car to
make it legal if he was inspected -- and speaking of mini skirts -- my
biggest social
thrill in an F1 grandstand occurred there, a drop dead gorgeous employee
from the Palace (?) was selling cigarettes with a carry tray,
she had legs to kill for and she commented on my head gear, a modified,
Yasir Arafat
wet table cloth, held in place by my official Indy 500 visor cap.
"He's got the right idea!", she said, and the temperature rose even
higher. Sigh...
