Dates: November 20–22, 2025
Where: The Las Vegas Strip Circuit — night racing under neon, with a packed calendar of practice, qualifying, the Saturday night Grand Prix, and the F1 Academy season finale.
Partners Pile in for 2025
Sponsors are queuing up and hospitality is already moving. Expect luxe brand activations, VIP lounges, and plenty of off-track experiences stitched into race week.
What casinos are planning (and selling) already
- Wynn, MGM, Caesars & co. are leaning into curated “race week” bundles: room blocks + terraces/rooftops, chef pop-ups, nightclub tie-ins, and ticketed viewing.
- Value plays off-Strip are marketing beer-garden views and watch-parties near the circuit’s east side.
- Premium hospitality (trackside clubs, terraces, and suites) is live and climbing fast—book early if you need guaranteed sightlines.
Programming notes: more racing, more reasons to host
Alongside F1 sessions, F1 Academy runs its season finale on the Strip, creating extra daytime windows for viewing brunches, sponsor takeovers, and creator content before the prime-time sessions.
Ops & logistics (for planners)
County timelines show phased lane reductions and bridge builds from early September through teardown before Christmas. If you have frontage on the route, plan signage, guest routing, and valet tweaks now.
Ticket & hospitality pricing at a glance (USD)
General Admission (Flamingo Zone by Caesars Rewards)
- Single-day: from ~$50
- Three-day: from ~$400–$425
Good for fan-zone energy and big-screen viewing; standing-room with rotating entertainment and experiences.
Grandstands
- Single-day race-day seats commonly land $600–$1,400+ depending on section (e.g., main vs. turns), with lower pricing on Thu/Fri sessions.
- Three-day grandstand packages vary widely by view and included perks.
Mid-tier Hospitality / Clubs
- From ~$2,500–$7,000+ for 3-day packages (examples include Skybox-style or Champions Club-type products).

Top-tier Hospitality (Paddock Club, team suites, ultra-premium terraces)
- $9,000+ to well into five figures per person for multi-day access, depending on inventory and team alignment.
- Expect white-glove service, gourmet dining, and best-in-class views.
Pricing is dynamic and tiered by day (Thu < Fri < Sat), section, and inclusions. Race-day Saturday carries the steepest premiums. Add taxes/fees.
Why this matters for Vegas casinos (and sweeps-adjacent brands)
- ADR & gaming lift: Night sessions concentrate premium spend into late evenings—pre-race dinners, post-session tables, and after-hours entertainment.
- Sponsor flywheel: Luxury and finance partners bring high-value guests—prime targets for hosted experiences and private viewing tiers.
- Content runway: F1 Academy adds more on-track action for daytime programming, creators, and brand partnerships before the night peaks.

Quick planner’s checklist
- Lock room blocks early; bundle with terraces/rooftops for turnkey “View + Stay” offers.
- Build tiered viewing ladders: rooftops for VIPs, restaurant terraces for social buzz, ballroom simulcasts for groups.
- Monetize off-peak sessions (Thu/Fri + F1 Academy) with brunches, brand pop-ups, and creator meet-ups.
- Align with county construction windows for frontage signage, guest routing, and last-mile transport.
