    They obviously didn't know that gambling isn't the main attraction in
    Austin.

    Yes. DIFFERENT attendees.

    I'm not claiming that people attend F1 races for the gambling IN GENERAL.

    Only those who attend F1 in Las Vegas.

    No. Not only.

    But the point is that the people likely to want to attend a race in Las
    Vegas are far more likely to be interested in gambling.
