Las Vegas

πŸ“ United States • Base for Las Vegas Strip Circuit

F1’s newest spectacle is a neon-soaked, high-speed blast down the most famous boulevard in the world. The Las Vegas Grand Prix is less of a traditional race and more of a massive, multi-day entertainment event integrated directly into the city's mega-resorts.
