Still trying to track down Nagano's whereabouts to see if the rumor is true. Right now it's leaning towards translation error as he should be heading to another prefecture for a radio interview. Now with Japan awake (it's 7am their time) I might get some answers.

OK so we can confirm the Warped Wall, Halfpipe Attack and Spin Bridge, no surprise there

Confirmed that the translation I got was correct. At least from the blog's point of view this person was convinced he was on his way to Vegas. So we should be seeing him soon in pics. I'm still peeved no one said anything he was coming.. for those out there.. TAKE PICS! He loves meeting fans.

The finishing platform for the spin bridge should be higher.....

Not to be the spoilsport (I'm envious personally), but considering Yuuji had voiced his wanting to go, I wonder if he just got ignored throughout the whole deal.

I'm trying not to entertain the thought. When I first heard it I was happy for Nagano but gutted for Yuuji. Final confirmation is if he really is there. So far I'm leaning towards believing that blog as that person works for the same company Nagano does and I don't see why he would fabricate that news. That said it could be his own understanding so we'll see.. but yeah.. I'm gutted for Yuuji if indeed he wasn't invited when he CLEARLY wanted to go.

Zooming in enough, I believe we can confirm Wall Lift. You can see construction extremely similar to that of the Miami Wall Lift.

I really hope Yuuji gets to go... He's been talking about it for ages... he deserves to be a special guest if Nagano goes... Shouldn't our only 2 time champion get some respect... The finishing platform for the spin bridge should be higher..... Seems to be the same height as in 27 Zooming in enough, I believe we can confirm Wall Lift. You can see construction extremely similar to that of the Miami Wall Lift. Yeah I was thinking that but wasn't confident enough to say it... But we can clearly see the red walls too

Something just occurred to me. If Nagano is going to Vegas, when is he going back to Japan? It's almost time for the Maguro Festival. Elsie and I had heard that Nagano might not participate in it this year because it's the one-year anniversary of his father, Yasuke's, death. If Nagano isn't even going to participate in the Maguro Festival, I doubt he'd be in another country during the anniversary of his father's death.

Maguro Festival is next weekend so he could be back in time for it if he was going to do it at all. At this point if he is in the USA then it must have been something NBC begged him to do. That's the only way he would IMO. Given all of this is true.. then bypassing Yuuji who is the current champion (and 2-time) I'm shocked he wasn't asked. Again, if it is true that Nagano is coming/is here.
