Why the Grand Prix Plaza matters

Grand Prix Plaza F1 X interactive exhibition.
Formula 1 made massive investments in Las Vegas when the organization bought land and built the massive Pit Building and other permanent structures, including significant sections of the race track. The remainder of the Las Vegas circuit consists of city streets that, similar to Monaco, convert each day during the Grand Prix event for public use and are closed during the practices, qualifying races, and the Grand Prix race.

The Grand Prix Plaza gives Formula 1 a money-making venture for the space between Grand Prix races, which only occur once a year. As the largest immersive F1 fan experience in the U.S., Grand Prix Plaza also helps to establish Las Vegas as a premier and permanent F1 location. In addition to the three F1 attractions, Grand Prix Plaza also includes three private event spaces.
