The Grand Prix was a flash in the pan – a cash grab to fill the city’s coffers and an ill-conceived event. In 19, F1 raced in an uninspired circuit hastily created in the car park of legendary Vegas casino Caesars Palace. Of course, this isn’t the first time a Formula 1 race has been staged in Las Vegas. From November 16th to 18th, 2023, Formula 1 rolls into town for what is arguably the most anticipated new Grand Prix in modern times.
Take the entertainment capital of the world and combine it with the greatest show on earth, and you’ve got the Las Vegas GP.
In April 2022, Formula 1 announced at a live event in Las Vegas that it was going back to Sin City. But, before the lights went out for the first Miami GP, F1 upped the ante once more. Ten years after a return to the States at the hugely popular Austin circuit, F1 added a second Grand Prix, racing for the first time in Miami.
