Las Vegas Grand Prix 2027: Saturday Night Race on the Strip, Tickets and Travel

Las Vegas Grand Prix 2027: date and Saturday night race format

The Las Vegas Grand Prix 2027 is round 22 of 24, with the race on Saturday 20 November 2027. Unlike most Grands Prix, it is held on a Saturday night under the lights, which changes how you plan the whole trip. It is not a sprint weekend.

The full timetable has not been published, and the organiser normally releases it a few weeks before the event. We do not quote session times, and we advise you to wait for the official schedule before booking flights that are hard to change. Race distance is expected to be around 290 km under the new regulations, which would shorten the 50 laps run in 2026.

Las Vegas sits between São Paulo and Qatar in the final stretch of the year; the F1 2027 calendar shows how the last rounds connect.

Why F1 Las Vegas is a spectacle like no other

The Las Vegas Grand Prix circuit

The Las Vegas Strip Circuit is 6.201 km long with 17 turns, and it has a capacity of about 100,000. The lap record is Max Verstappen's 1:33.365 from 2025. The long straight along the Strip is the highest-speed part of the lap.

F1 Las Vegas history so far

The first race took place on 18 November 2023 and was the first Formula 1 race in Las Vegas since 1982. Verstappen won in 2023 and 2025, and George Russell won in 2024. The contract has been extended through 2037, which gives the event a long future in the city.

It is a very different style of weekend from the classic European rounds: more entertainment, more nightlife, and cold air instead of hot sun. See the Mexico City Grand Prix if you want a contrast in atmosphere.

Where to watch the Las Vegas GP: viewing areas

The official ticket site could not be reached while preparing this guide, so we do not list grandstand names. The zones below are landmarks, not official stand names, and we will add the exact categories when they are confirmed.

Best viewing areas for the Las Vegas Grand Prix

• The Strip straight: the highest-speed spot on the circuit.
• Near the Sphere: the area around the landmark gives the most striking visuals.
• Hotel-based viewing: some resort areas overlook the track, but access depends on the package you hold.

General admission at the Las Vegas GP

We have not verified whether general admission is sold for 2027. Check the live availability under the Tickets button for the current structure, and join the alert so you hear when anything changes.

Las Vegas Grand Prix 2027 tickets and hospitality

Tickets are on sale now. Use the Tickets button on this page to see current categories and availability. We do not list prices, because they vary significantly between viewing areas and packages, and they move as stock changes.

The key advice is to book early. Rooms along the Strip spike during race week, and flights fill quickly as well. If you plan to attend with friends, decide who is coming before you buy, because it is easier to group seats at the start of a sale than later.

Las Vegas Grand Prix hospitality

Premium experiences are a big part of this event. For an overview of the options and what to compare, read our F1 hospitality 2027 guide.

Getting to F1 Las Vegas and moving around the Strip

Harry Reid International Airport is about 5 miles from the Strip, so the journey is short. The track is on the Strip itself, and walking between hotels and viewing areas is common.

Because the circuit shares its location with some of the busiest streets in the city, crowds can be dense on race evening. Agree a meeting point with your group in case phone signal is patchy, and keep your ticket easy to reach for entry checks.

That said, walking distances in Las Vegas are long and deceptive. Plan your days with realistic buffers, wear comfortable shoes and expect some roads to close around the circuit. We have no confirmed information on shuttles or other transport for the weekend, so check the organiser's guidance when it is published.

Where to stay for the Las Vegas Grand Prix

The Strip is the obvious choice, putting you in the middle of the action, but rooms there spike during race week. Paradise, the area around the Strip, can offer more choice and a quieter feel, while Downtown has a different character and its own nightlife.

Cold-weather tips for the Las Vegas GP weekend

Late November in the Nevada desert is dry, but cold. Days are about 15 to 18 °C, and nights fall to roughly 4 to 10 °C.

• Dress warmly: gloves, a hat and a jacket are worth packing for the evening race.
• Wear comfortable shoes because walking distances are long.
• Book early for rooms, flights and any extras.
• Plan your journey home carefully, since the race finishes late.

A practical plan for the Las Vegas Grand Prix is to treat the trip as a long weekend rather than a single evening. Arrive a day early to adjust to the time zone, walk part of the route in daylight to understand the distances, and decide in advance where you will eat before the race. Many fans also keep Sunday free to recover and travel home without rushing.

Ahead of Las Vegas is the São Paulo Grand Prix; after it come the Qatar Grand Prix and the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
