About

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is a round of the Formula 1 World Championship on a temporary street circuit through the middle of the Strip. The 6.2 km, 17-turn Las Vegas Strip Circuit passes Caesars Palace, the Bellagio and the Venetian, and starts at the Pit Building at Grand Prix Plaza. The race runs on Saturday night.

Las Vegas first hosted Formula 1 in 1981 and 1982 as the Caesars Palace Grand Prix. The current race joined the calendar in 2023; Formula 1 lists Max Verstappen as the winner in 2023 and 2025 and George Russell in 2024.

In 2026 Formula 1 announced a 10-year extension through 2037, backed by Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., Clark County and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and said the 2023, 2024 and 2025 races all sold out.
