What Is the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
The Las Vegas Grand Prix is a Formula 1 night race on a 3.8-mile street circuit that runs down Las Vegas Boulevard past Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and The Venetian. The 2026 race weekend is November 19–21, with the race on Saturday, November 21 at 8:00 p.m. Pacific.
Max Verstappen won the 2025 race after both McLarens were disqualified for excessive plank wear. Every race since the 2023 debut has sold out.
F1, Clark County, and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority have locked the race in through 2037. Below: the schedule, ticket prices, where to watch the Las Vegas F1 race with or without a ticket, road closures, and where to stay.
The Strip Circuit
Straight Down the Strip
The circuit's signature straightaway runs directly along Las Vegas Boulevard past Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and The Venetian — cars hit their top speed of the lap in full view of the Strip's biggest resorts.
A Purpose-Built Paddock
A permanent multi-story pit and paddock building anchors the circuit, housing team garages, hospitality suites, and the paddock club with trackside views most street circuits can't match.
A Night Race Under the Lights
Vegas already glows after dark — F1 leans into it with a full night race, floodlit alongside the Strip's own neon, making it one of the most visually spectacular races on the calendar.
Fan Zones & Live Music
Ticket holders get fan zones like the Flamingo Zone and the East Harmon Zone, where artists perform on the Heineken Stage. The 2026 lineup hasn't been announced yet, and driver introductions and the pre-race show take place on race night.
2026 Race Weekend Schedule
Thursday · Nov 19
Practice 1 & 2
FP1 runs 6:30–7:30 p.m. and FP2 runs 10–11 p.m., late enough to match race-night track conditions. At $50 for general admission, it's the cheapest night to see the cars.
Friday · Nov 20
Final Practice & Qualifying
FP3 runs 6:30–7:30 p.m., then qualifying at 8 p.m. sets the grid for Saturday's race. Single-day general admission starts at $99.
Saturday · Nov 21
Race Night
The Grand Prix itself, starting at 8:00 p.m. Pacific (11:00 p.m. Eastern) and running 50 laps or two hours. Road closures begin in the early afternoon, and the Strip effectively shuts down to traffic around the green flag.
All times are Pacific. Confirm the final timetable on the official F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix site before race week.

Where to Watch the Las Vegas F1 Race
- 01 Grandstands & Paddock Club
Official ticketed viewing ranges from general grandstand seating along the circuit to the ultra-premium paddock club, with hospitality and trackside access most street races can't offer.
- 02 Strip-View Hotel Rooms
A high floor at Bellagio, Paris, Caesars Palace, or The Cosmopolitan can put the circuit right outside your window, no race ticket required. Book these rooms months ahead.
- 03 Resort Viewing Parties & Sportsbooks
Resorts along the track sell their own viewing parties with food and drinks. For 2026, Giada at The Vanderpump Hotel runs $300–$800 a night and Caramella Terrace at Planet Hollywood runs $300–$650. Sportsbooks and lounges away from the track also host their own watch parties. See our sports betting guide for race-day futures and prop bets.

Where to Stay for the Las Vegas Grand Prix
Race-week rates are among the highest of the whole year, so the hotel choice matters more than usual. Our Strip hotels guide covers each resort in detail.
On the Circuit
Bellagio, Caesars Palace, The Venetian, Paris, The Cosmopolitan, and Flamingo all sit on or beside the route. A high Strip-view room puts the track outside your window, and you can walk to the action.
Just Off the Track
Hotels a block or two off the route often cost noticeably less, and you can still walk in, though closures can lengthen the trip. Check where the nearest pedestrian crossing is before you book.
Book Early
Strip-view rooms sell out first. Member-only wholesale rates can lower the cost of Strip hotels — see member rates before you commit.
Road Closures & Getting Around
Plan around the circuit early. Closure details come from local transportation announcements and can change. Check transportation.f1lasvegasgp.com or text F1LV to 31996 for updates.
Now – Nov 9
Circuit Build
Las Vegas Boulevard from Sands Avenue to Harmon Avenue drops to one lane each way from midnight to 9 a.m., October 5–30. Koval Lane and Flamingo Road fully close October 11–16 for the temporary bridge. The sidewalk in front of the Bellagio fountains and two southbound lanes stay closed through November 9.
Race Week · Nov 19 – 21
Event-Night Closures
Circuit streets usually start closing in the early afternoon on event days and reopen after midnight. Koval Lane closed around the clock for most of race week last year. Rideshare drop-offs move to designated zones, and some crossings need a race ticket. The 2026 race-week schedule comes out closer to the event.

Where does the Las Vegas Grand Prix race track go?
The 17-turn, 3.8-mile street circuit runs straight down Las Vegas Boulevard past Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and The Venetian, with a permanent pit and paddock building near the Strip. Cars hit their top speed on the Strip straightaway before the circuit loops back through the surrounding streets.
Where can I watch the Las Vegas Grand Prix without a ticket?
Grandstand, general admission, and paddock club tickets are required for trackside viewing. Without one, a Strip-view room at a property along the circuit like Bellagio, Paris, or Caesars Palace can put the track in view. Resorts also sell ticketed viewing parties, such as Giada at The Vanderpump Hotel and Caramella Terrace at Planet Hollywood, and sportsbooks and lounges off the circuit host watch parties.
Is the Las Vegas Strip closed during the Grand Prix?
Yes, during race hours. The circuit streets (Las Vegas Boulevard, Sands Avenue, Koval Lane, and Harmon Avenue) close to traffic on event nights, with closures typically starting in the early afternoon and roads reopening after midnight. Before race week, Las Vegas Boulevard from Sands Avenue to Harmon Avenue has overnight lane reductions from October 5 to 30, and the Koval Lane and Flamingo Road intersection fully closes October 11–16 while a temporary bridge goes in. Rideshare pickups and pedestrian crossings near the track change, so check transportation.f1lasvegasgp.com or text F1LV to 31996 before you go.

Stay on or near the circuit if you want to walk to the track and watch from your room: Bellagio, Caesars Palace, The Venetian, Paris, The Cosmopolitan, and Flamingo all sit on or beside the route. Rates for race week are among the highest of the year, so book early — member rates can lower the cost of Strip hotels along the circuit.
