The Strip Hits Different
Most F1 races take place on purpose-built tracks. Some happen at night. Only one takes place under a neon sky on the Las Vegas Strip. Yes, that’s right – Las Vegas puts the race on the freaking Strip at night. This isn’t your usual parade lap through a city circuit. Since its 2023 debut, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has flipped the script—delivering surprise overtakes, chaotic cold-weather conditions, and unexpected drama every single time. Even street circuit skeptics have been won over by the action.
In 2024, it was the backdrop for Max Verstappen clinching his fourth World Championship. This race isn’t just for the show—it’s where history gets written.
More Than a Race — It’s Vegas
The Las Vegas GP isn’t just a race weekend. It’s a full-blown sensory overload. Michelin-star dining, A-list sightings, rooftop DJ sets, celebrity takeovers, and drivers partying like locals. Think Carlos Sainz’s Smooth Operator Lounge at the Aria or the MGM Shoey Bar—yes, really. Daniel Ricciardo’s ghost lives on. The Strip becomes F1’s playground, and even if you don’t care about lap times, there’s something for you on every corner.

What’s New for 2025?
An Earlier Race Start Time
To better serve U.S. fans (and give drivers a break from 2 a.m. cooldowns), the race now kicks off at 8:00 PM local time on Saturday, November 22—two hours earlier than last year. That’s primetime for East Coast viewers and just late enough for Vegas to stay, well, Vegas.
Grandstand Restructure: Food Out, Flexibility In
In response to fan feedback, grandstand tickets will no longer include bundled food and drink. Instead, all tickets come with access to a range of vendors and bars spread across the venue. It’s part of a wider shift to create more flexible, customizable experiences—and yes, that comes with lower ticket prices.
New Pricing: Real Adjustments, Not Lip Service
Tickets now start at $1,150 for grandstands—a noticeable drop from 2024. General Admission options are also being repositioned for affordability. The result? More fans, less sticker shock. Premium and hospitality packages remain for those chasing full-throttle luxury.
Ticket Breakdown: What to Know, Where to Sit
1. Hospitality – The No-Limits VIP Experience
Hospitality tickets at the Las Vegas Grand Prix are the top-tier experience, offering unparalleled comfort, access, and exclusivity. These packages are ideal for those looking to combine the thrill of F1 with five-star service. Options like the Paddock Club, Skybox Suites, and Wynn Grid Club offer trackside lounges with climate control, gourmet food, open bars, and curated entertainment. The Paddock Club, for example, includes pit lane walks, exclusive driver appearances, and panoramic views of the team garages and start/finish straight.
Many hospitality areas are perched above team garages or key corners, allowing for unmatched visibility and a party-like vibe with luxury finishes. Expect premium pricing, often ranging from $2,500 to $20,000+ per person, but with that comes convenience, exclusivity, and a once-in-a-lifetime F1 experience.
2. Grandstands – The Sweet Spot for Pure Racing Vibes
Grandstand tickets are the go-to choice for most F1 fans who want guaranteed seating and solid views of the on-track action. These tickets are less pricey than hospitality but still provide excellent experiences, especially with the Las Vegas layout offering multiple hotspots for overtaking and high-speed battles.
Popular grandstands include:
- Main Grandstand (Start/Finish line): Best for race starts, pit stops, and podium celebrations.
- Turn 3 Grandstands: Ideal for watching overtaking and braking duels.
- MSG Sphere & Koval Grandstands: These offer cool cityscape backdrops and glimpses of the cars at full throttle under Vegas lights.
Seats are assigned, and most grandstands are elevated to give you a great perspective. Amenities typically include food and beverage vendors, merch booths, restrooms, and video screens to keep up with the rest of the race. Pricing varies widely but often falls in the $875 to $1,750 range, depending on location and access to nearby perks.
3. General Admission – Vibes Over Views
General Admission (GA) tickets provide the most affordable entry to the Las Vegas Grand Prix. While they don’t offer reserved seating or grandstand access, they still get you inside the circuit and into designated viewing areas or fan zones where you can watch the race on big screens, soak in the atmosphere, and explore vendor and sponsor activations.
GA areas often include standing zones along certain sections of the track or access to festival-style zones filled with food, entertainment, and live music. It’s a more social and exploratory experience, ideal for casual fans or those who want to be part of the F1 buzz without breaking the bank. Prices for GA tickets can range from $500 to $800, depending on the day and zone.
