The Las Vegas Grand Prix is handily one of the city’s biggest spectacles, and with fans attending from all over the world, you’ll want to start planning where you’ll stay, how you’ll watch the race and what to plan for now. Need help breaking down all the options? We’re here to help.

 

Seven Places to Stay From North of the Strip to South 

Fontainebleau Las Vegas 

Given that the newest kid on the Strip promises to host everyone, from Calvin Harris to John Summit, inside its LIV nightclub, it only makes sense to stay here after a night of revelry. Fontainebleau Las Vegas is making planning easy by creating Grandstand and Paddock Club packages complete with transportation. 

Resorts World  Las Vegas

With a much hyped charity poker tournament benefiting the One Drop and WPT foundations and a stacked culinary festival called INDULGE featuring Michelin-starred toques during Resorts World’s Race Week festivities, you’d expect rates to be through the roof. Shockingly, they start as low as $159 this weekend.

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is positioned on a corner turn and many of its rooms boast vistas of 20%  of the entire race circuit. And if that’s not reason enough to book a stay, you can even sip cocktails by mixology wunderkind Lu Lopez trackside while noshing on sushi at Wakuda and brunch on dim sum at Mott 32.

Wynn Las Vegas 

Last year, Lewis Hamilton and Louis XIII hosted pop-up shops, Harlan Estate curated an extravagant wine dinner, and Justin Bieber and friends partied at Delilah. This year, expect more of the same. Room and ticket packages start at $9,100 for three nights of accommodation, two Grandstand tickets and invites to special events. Add a few more zeroes to your weekend, and you can supersize your experience to the ultra-exclusive  Wynn Grid Club Experience ($65,000), which includes up-close views of turns 1 and 2 from the Wynn Grid Club in the Pit Building, extravagant food and cocktails, and access to the Heineken Silver Stage, among other perks.

Caesars Palace 

A stay here not only allows guests to catch one of Adele’s final two shows at The Colosseum this weekend, but also some prime, mid-Strip views of the main straightaway. With standing room and three-day room and ticket packages for two starting at $1,853, this is a bit more accessible way to watch the race.

Bellagio

In addition to offering guests the most convenient access to the Bellagio Fountain Club, this resort offers the following pop-ups: Shoey Bar (a wildly popular tribute to drinking out of a shoe); Ferrari and Balmain boutiques (the latter offering an exclusive racing-themed capsule collection); a takeover of The Vault by London’s Connaught (2023’s No. 5 bar according to The World’s 50 Best Bars); and Veuve Clicquot and Dom Pérignon lounges.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas 

With balconies wrapping the building, rooms at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will allow you to quite literally hear and feel the race. The oh-so-haute LPM Restaurant & Bar has patio vistas to take in the race, while Scarpetta has prime views of the Bellagio fountains and the track.

Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas

In such a high-octane city some may want a reprieve from the madness. This nongaming, nonsmoking hotel fits this bill perfectly. What’s more, the property’s north-facing rooms feature views of the turn from Las Vegas Boulevard onto Harmon Avenue and a recently renovated arrival experience.

Seven Places to Watch the Race 

Ultra Luxury Paddock Club and Garage Experiences 

Within the paddock building, there are a variety of experiences on offer. Fontainebleau Las Vegas’s Papi Steak and Gordon Ramsay will offer their own F1 Garage experiences where you can watch the race from the pit lane. Inside the Paddock Club building, there is also a variety of all-inclusive suites to select from, including Wynn Grid Club, which offers an even more elevated experience. Paddock Club experiences also give you access to a rooftop LIV Nightclub pop-up, meet-and-greets, pit lane walks, truck rides through the circuit, guided paddock tours, and more. 

Bellagio Fountain Club 

Situated on the iconic Bellagio fountains and along the race’s main straightaway, a ticket here promises an electrifying and truly immersive experience. The culinary will be on point and feature an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord personally prepared by Mario Carbone, Alain Ducasse, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Masaharu Morimoto and David Chang. And should you be looking for a bit more bacchanal, Tao Group has opened bookings to its rooftop Skydeck, an experience that was strictly by invitation last year.  

Hospitality Clubs

Whether you go for the Rat-Pack-inspired Skybox, the race-enthusiast paradise that is the Turn 3 Club, or the nightclub-esque Club Overtake, your experience will come complete with food and drink and access to exclusive fan experiences. Club Paris and the HGV Clubhouse will offer similar F&B inclusions, while turn 5G Champions Club ticket holders will also take in appearances by drivers and F1 personalities and get guided paddock tours.

Grandstands 

Seats within the Heineken Silver Main, T-Mobile and West Harmon Zone grandstands all include complimentary food, water and soft drinks, as well as a litany of interactive experiences and live entertainment.

General Admission 

The Heineken GA+ and T-Mobile GA experiences include complimentary food, water and soft drinks, plus access to unassigned bleachers and viewing platforms. The new Caesars Palace and Flamingo General Experiences are standing-room only, with food and drinks available for purchase. Learn more about all available ticket options for the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Drai’s Rooftop

Given that Drai’s Beachclub is known for its culinary-forward experience, the fact that it’s offering a three-night package for $1,500, including F&B and its rooftop perch atop The Cromwell Las Vegas, affords some serious prime views of the entire Boulevard and makes this ticket a major value. Naturally, bottle service is also available with table and bungalow packages priced at 25% and 33% per person premiums.  

The Boulevard Experience at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas 

With single-day tickets starting at $250 and a three-day pass available for $700 (including snacks and nonalcoholic beverages), this is certainly an accessible option. Combine that with prime views of the Strip’s straightaway and the Harmon Avenue turn, and you have the makings of an incredible time. 

Seven Experiences to Plan for Now 

F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix Fan Experience

There are plenty of free things to do in Las Vegas during Formula 1 race week and this year includes the inaugural F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix Fan Experience. Located across from the Wynn Las Vegas, fans can interact with F1 and F1 Academy drivers during live Q&A sessions and autograph signings, check out show cars, and sample gourmet offerings from local food trucks. Visitors should also keep an eye out for pop-up fan activations from brands like Aramco, PacSun and T-Mobile along the Boulevard.

Arrive early for the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli support race

In addition to the main Las Vegas Grand Prix Formula 1 event, this support race will allow ticket holders to witness Ferrari Challenge cars bearing down the iconic Las Vegas Strip before each evening’s main event.

Secure your spa reservations

Whether you’re looking to book a CBD-infused Moroccan Journey in The Cosmopolitan’s Sahra Spa, Salon & Hammam, a coif by master stylist Claude Baruk at Fashion Show Las Vegas, or a bespoke facial at Sisley Paris inside The Shops at Crystals, you need to stop reading and call for an appointment now.

Book a brunch

Reservations for a weekend brunch in Las Vegas are always ideal, but consider them essential during race week. Expect Wolfgang Puck himself to be in-house at Spago, and Giada’s at The Cromwell Las Vegas will offer some impressive pasta-twirling and trackside views. Things will get even boozier at LAVO at The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, which offers a chef-driven party brunch on Saturday in a recently refreshed space.

Experience INDULGE

Resorts World Las Vegas is hosting a follow-up to its wildly popular food fest INDULGE. During the race week edition, expect pop-ups from the likes of LA’s Michelin-starred Camphor and a dozen or so other concepts.

And other F&B pop-ups

Not to be outdone, Bellagio will see Giorgio Bargiani of London’s renowned Connaught Bar take over The Vault; play host to wine dinners/experiences by Shafer Vineyards, Hundred Acre Wines and Château Angelus; and build Dom Pérignon and Veuve Clicquot lounges. ARIA Resort & Casino will showcase Macallan at Jean Georges Steakhouse and turn its Lobby Bar into a Macallan Lounge, plus host a unique feast at Blossom in collaboration with Hardy Cognac’s most rarefied bottlings. Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto will also produce an over-the-top omakase in his eponymously named dining room at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.

Plan for a night out

With Calvin Harris, John Summit, Dom Dolla and Metro Boomin headlining LIV; Illenium, deadmau5, Kaskade and Meduza performing at Zouk; and Swedish House Mafia, The Chainsmokers and Marshmello turning tables at XS, the time to call your host and book a table or buy a ticket is now. Trust us, this is the only way to avoid a lengthy wait.
