The Las Vegas Grand Prix is back! And it has to be one of the most exciting sporting events to attend in the world. Combining the thrill of seeing a Formula 1 Grand Prix in person, with the lure of the original ‘Sin City’ – Las Vegas. It will be a trip that you remember for the rest of your life.
So we want to make sure you do it right. In this blog we are going to be looking at how to make the most out of your stay in the Entertainment Capital of the World, while making sure you don’t miss a moment of Formula 1 action.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix
The Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023 is scheduled to be the penultimate race of the season on November 18th, so there will be a lot riding on it – it could be pivotal in the battle for the World Championship.
The Vegas Grand Prix is a Saturday night race – the first one in Formula 1 in 38 years. The neon lights of the Las Vegas Strip will provide the lighting for the race, which will be held on a specially constructed high-speed street circuit, which incorporates parts of the Strip, and will snake past some of the city’s most famous landmarks like Caesars Palace, MGM Grand and the Bellagio Lake. There is plenty of space on the track for overtaking – it’s going to be a thrilling race.
On Thursday there is a ‘Kick Off Party’ for the practice session, before the Sunset Sessions for the Friday qualifying rounds. Each night will have its own entertainment – DJ sets, bands and incredible food and drink. The fan zones will all be slightly different, but all will provide you with the sort of fun that you would expect from a Las Vegas Grand Prix!
What else should you do in Las Vegas?
There isn’t enough room in this article to go through all of the different options that Las Vegas has to offer you, but let us point you in the right direction:
Saint Mark’s Square
A little slice of Venice in Vegas – this is a great area to spend an afternoon. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy, but the real appeal is on the streets themselves. Sketch artists, jugglers, singers and entertainers all line the streets to give you something to smile about.
The High Roller
Take in the view from the world’s second tallest Ferris wheel. Try to time it during the practice session and you could watch the cars whizzing around the track from the best seats in the city! If you haven’t got the stomach for a Ferris wheel, try one of the many rooftop bars in the city – views unlike anywhere else in the world.
The Grand Canyon
Speaking of spectacular views, how about a helicopter ride to see the Grand Canyon up close? This is the sort of once-in-a-lifetime experience that you should make the effort to do while you’re in Las Vegas – it’s a stunning trip that will leave you speechless.
ATV Dune Tour
How about channelling your own Lewis Hamilton while exploring the Las Vegas Dunes?! Take an incredible tour of the desert on zippy little quad bikes.
The Las Vegas Experience
It goes without saying that the true Las Vegas experience is the nightlife and the partying. Play some cards, sip some free flowing champagne, take in a show – if it’s your first time in Vegas, you’ll want to do all of these things. There is more to Vegas than this though, so make sure you get a taste of it all!
