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.
Fireworks Opening Ceremony
Race weekend kicks off Thursday night with a driver introduction and fireworks show over the paddock building — a preview of the spectacle to come on race night.
Race Weekend Schedule
Thursday
Opening Ceremony & Practice
Driver introductions, a fireworks show over the paddock, and the first practice sessions run late into the night to match race-night conditions.
Friday
Final Practice & Qualifying
One more practice session before qualifying sets the grid for Saturday's race — a good lower-cost night to catch the cars on track.
Saturday
Race Night
The Grand Prix itself, run late at night to accommodate a global TV audience — the Strip effectively shuts down to traffic for hours around the green flag.
Where to Watch
- 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 and the Thursday fireworks right outside your window, no race ticket required. Book these rooms months ahead.
- 03 Watch Parties Off the Circuit
Sportsbooks and lounges away from the track run their own F1 watch parties for anyone without a grandstand ticket — see our sports betting guide for race-day futures and prop bets.

Book Early, Plan for Closures
Hotel Rates Spike Hard
Strip hotel rates during Grand Prix week are among the highest of the entire year. Book as far ahead as you can, especially for Strip-view rooms.
Circuit Construction Starts Early
Barriers and grandstands go up along the Strip for weeks before the race, affecting sidewalks, crosswalks, and pickup points well before race weekend itself.
Plan Your Route Around the Circuit

Common Questions
When is the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
The Las Vegas Grand Prix runs every November, over a Thursday-through-Saturday weekend with the race held Saturday night. F1 and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority signed a 10-year extension keeping the race on the calendar through 2037.
Where does the Las Vegas Grand Prix race track go?
The 3.8-mile street circuit runs straight down Las Vegas Boulevard past Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and The Venetian, with a 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?
Official grandstand and paddock club tickets are required for trackside viewing, but the circuit runs directly past several Strip hotels — a Strip-view room at a property like Bellagio, Paris, or Caesars Palace can put you within sight of the track and the Thursday opening ceremony fireworks without a race ticket.
Is the Las Vegas Strip closed during the Grand Prix?
Yes. Sections of Las Vegas Boulevard close to traffic for the race itself, and barrier construction along the circuit begins weeks before the event, affecting pedestrian crossings and rideshare pickup points on and near the Strip. Build our getting around guide into your race-week planning.
