Vegas Grand Prix Goes the Distance: Formula 1 commits to the Strip through 2037
Las Vegas and Formula 1 are officially in it for the long haul.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix, Clark County and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority have reached a new 10-year extension that will keep Formula 1 racing through the heart of Las Vegas through 2037.
Since its debut in 2023, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has quickly become one of the city’s biggest sporting spectacles—and a major economic engine for Southern Nevada. The first three races, held from 2023 through 2025, all sold out and generated a combined $3.2 billion in economic impact. The 2025 race alone produced $43 million in state and local tax revenue, including $15 million earmarked for local K-12 education.
But the checkered flag isn’t the only measure of the event’s impact.
Through the Las Vegas Grand Prix Foundation, more than $2 million has been contributed to nonprofit organizations, while educational programs have connected hundreds of Clark County School District students and local community groups with opportunities to explore the worlds of STEM and motorsports.
And then there’s the spectacle.
The 3.8-mile Las Vegas Strip Circuit sends the world’s fastest drivers roaring past some of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, including Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Wynn Las Vegas and The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. With speeds topping 200 mph, the race delivers plenty of high-octane action—against a backdrop that could only be Vegas.
Max Verstappen has taken two of the first three Las Vegas checkered flags, winning in 2023 and 2025, while George Russell captured the 2024 race. That 2024 event produced a remarkable 113 overtakes, adding plenty of drama to a race already built for spectacle.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix has also become a destination beyond the track. Grand Prix Plaza, a 39-acre, multi-use complex and the world’s largest Formula 1 attraction, serves as a year-round hub for fans while providing local students with opportunities to connect STEM education with motorsport.
The event even made its Hollywood debut, appearing in F1® The Movie, bringing the Las Vegas race to an even bigger global audience.
For Vegas, the partnership is a natural fit: fast cars, big crowds, celebrity sightings, high-end hospitality and enough neon to light up the night.
“Since its debut in 2023, the event has been extraordinary, rapidly establishing itself as a premier destination for great racing, world-class entertainment, global business leaders, A-list celebrities and influencers,” said Stefano Domenicali, president and CEO of Formula 1. “We always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States.”
Emily Prazer, president and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., called the extension “a defining moment” for the event and credited the city’s energy, hospitality and scale with helping shape the race.
For LVCVA President and CEO Steve Hill, the decade-long extension further establishes Las Vegas as a destination for major sporting and entertainment events.
“Built for spectacle and designed to host the world’s biggest moments,” Hill said, “Las Vegas is proud to continue this dynamic partnership with Formula 1 for the next decade and beyond.”
Translation for Vegas visitors: start saving those vacation days. The Grand Prix isn’t going anywhere.
