The Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix isn’t just about watching the cars fly down the Strip. This is one of the few race weekends where fans can actually step inside the culture of Formula 1 with lounges shaped by the drivers themselves, team-hosted clubs and trackside social takeovers. If your idea of a perfect race week involves hearing team strategy, spotting a driver off-duty, or just soaking in the atmosphere where the paddock hangs after hours, these experiences put you closer to the action than the grandstands ever could.
Meet the Drivers: House 44 at the Paddock Club
Created by Lewis Hamilton in partnership with Soho House, House 44 has appeared at select Grands Prix around the world, but its Las Vegas edition is the one to watch. Situated inside the F1 Paddock Club directly above the pit lane and start/finish straight, it blends the intimacy of a members’ club with the energy of race weekend. Guests enjoy daily pit-lane walks, guided open-top track tours, and a behind-the-scenes “photo safari” during live sessions. Expect a Hamilton appearance and Q&A, curated DJ programming, bespoke cocktails, and globally inspired dining. It’s designed for fans who want true proximity, not just premium seats.
Meet the Drivers: Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Las Vegas Club
The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Las Vegas Club is where fans of the Silver Arrows can get close to the team in a curated, team-hosted environment. Located trackside, the club blends premium hospitality with behind-the-scenes storytelling: live strategy insights, paddock perspectives from team personnel, interactive simulators to test your racecraft, and screenings that bring you inside the garage in real time. Past Grands Prix have seen surprise visits from drivers and key crew members, alongside limited-edition team merchandise and signature cocktails. It’s ideal for fans who want to understand the race as it unfolds.
Meet the Drivers: The Smooth Operator Dance Lounge at ARIA
Ferrari fans know him by his radio call sign: Smooth Operator. Carlos Sainz brings his signature style back to Las Vegas with the return of his namesake lounge inside ALIBI at ARIA, open daily throughout race week. The atmosphere is cocktail-forward by day and dance-heavy by night, with curated DJ sessions and a high-energy crowd rolling in post-qualifying. Standout cocktails include the sweet-heat Chill Pepper Mule and the Sparkles the Unicorn Martini, which shifts color tableside for added theater.
Open Nov. 19–23, 2 p.m.–2 a.m.
