I actually really like these corner names. They add a lot of character to the lap that the layout itself lacks, while also simplifying the lap. I'm especially a huge fan of Paradise and Elvis, though Sands is also spot on for the desert location. Also, calling the back straight "The Strip" should've been obvious to everyone.

I really like when corners have names. And big reason is that when circuits change, corner numbers may change. The left-right at the end of first long straight in Abu Dhabi used to be T8-T9, but with the changes introduced for 2021 it's T6-T7 now. And by the way, Okayama International Circuit (formerly Aida, where F1 raced in 1994 and 1995) has first corner, last corner and most of the rest named after former racing drivers. So it's not like mix of those wouldn't work.

The official explanation for the name Tarzan corner is the following: When the circuit was built, one of the owners - known in Zandvoort as Tarzan because he was a very large person - didn’t want to give up his garden that would be destroyed by the building of the circuit. But when they promised to give the corner situated on his old garden his nickname, he was willing to co-operate. Some say this is a myth but I like to assume it's all true 😊😂

10 and 11 being a right-lefter complex, I'd feel 11 a little left out and deserving of it's own name or a combination, like Venetian Sands. But on closer inspection 11 appears to wrap around the high-rise of Palazzo, I'd be inclined to call it Palazzo. That'd leave turn 12 nameless. Looking at the map, there's alternatives like Treasure Island and Wynn near that corner. Also the Lake of Dreams between Wynn and the corner proper. While the Wynn/Win might seem too easy, Dreams or Treasure may alude more to the reason drivers (and gamblers) are there: to win. (After all it's where they enter the strip.)

I'm honestly not worried about naming those corners. Corner names naturally arise, even without a central authority. For the Circuit de Monaco, turn 1 is named "Saint-Dévote" because it's in front of the Saint-Dévote Chapel. Turn 4 is called "Casino" because it's right next to a casino. No one ordered people to call them that way. It's just that whatever name that made sense stuck.
