The 2024 Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix is over, but you won’t have to wait until November 2025 to have an F1 experience in Las Vegas. F1 owns the 39-acre site, including the Las Vegas Grand Prix Pit Building. Next Spring, Grand Prix Plaza will open on the site with F1-inspired kart racing, interactive educational 4D exhibits, F1 simulators, a retail hub, and private events spaces in the enormous Pit building.

Active learning and fun at the Grand Prix Plaza

The Grand Prix Plaza will include interactive displays related to F1 racing and heritage.
Visitors and F1 fans will have multiple interactive experiences at Grand Prix Plaza, including F1Drive, F1X, and F1Hub. F1 drive allows drivers to race F1-inspired karts on a 1,650-foot-long racetrack that runs in and out of F1 pit garages and part of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit. The electric-powered karts include DRS tech, conventional F1 race car sounds, and a steering wheel with an LED display.

Las Vegas wants the world to know it is an amazing and entertaining location for Formula 1 Grand Prix races. I was one of a small group of journalists invited to share a VIP experience of the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix and the city.

Exclusive all-inclusive race viewing locations, such as The Paddock Club and the T-Mobile Zone, were the greatest draw. We also had tickets to two of the hottest shows in town, invites to memorable culinary events, and stayed in 60th-floor rooms in the luxurious Wynn Las Vegas Resort Tower.
