With the third Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix now only a month away, Nov. 20 to 22, details about special hospitality viewing areas and first-time activities have been announced.
MGM Resorts International, which will continue as a founding partner of the race through 2030, will again host the Winner's Stage at Bellagio Fountain Club on the Strip. Perched above the Fountains, the venue offers premium views of the race and post-race activities, an open bar and food from renowned chefs such as Jose Andres and Masaharu Morimoto.
Not to be overtaken in the race to create unique guest experiences, Caesars Entertainment will also offer exclusive experiences such as viewing parties overlooking the track and lunch with chef and television personality Gordon Ramsay at Caesars Palace.
The Giada viewing experience at the Cromwell (soon-to-be the Vanderpump Hotel) includes food and drinks by celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis's team and open-air Strip views of the main straight. For the first time, the open-air Caramella Terrace at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino will host a viewing party.
The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace also opened the F1 Arcade Las Vegas this month. The 21,000-square-foot venue features 87 full motion Formula 1 racing simulators, an extensive food and beverage program and private event spaces.
New for 2025
• The Paddock Club Rooftop at Grand Prix Plaza will debut Trackside Tavern, a sports bar-inspired experience. The three-day, ticketed venue blends high-end hospitality; panoramic views; bar games such as shuffleboard, foosball and pool; and all-inclusive food and beverage choices.
• Ellis Island, which is concluding an expansion, is offering ticket packages for the first time and will host a watch party at its new Deck. The Front Yard's two-story beer garden will feature closed-circuit live feeds on more than 20 TVs, an 18-foot screen and a free viewing platform along Koval Lane.
Other F1 fun
• Palms Casino Resort's Kaos nightclub will host "Guenther Steiner Unfiltered Live" at 11 a.m. on Nov. 22. The former Haas F1 team principal will share insights from his decade in the sport.
"Las Vegas is one of the most exciting stops on the calendar, and I can't wait to connect with fans in a city that knows how to put on a show," Steiner said. "This event will be a no-holds-barred look at what really goes on in Formula 1-- the good, the bad and the very fast."
The event is free, but guests are advised to reserve a spot online. Premium booths are available starting at $25 (plus fax and fees) per person.
