The F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix is finally happening this coming weekend after 41 years of a hiatus. It’s bound to be the biggest motorsport event of the year, with 20 world-class drivers competing for glory at the heart of Las Vegas. In true Las Vegas fashion, the climax of the Formula 1 racing event will happen on Saturday night from 10 p.m. on a 3.8-mile street circuit next to the biggest casinos and hotels.
Most of the F1 Las Vegas tickets sold out a few months ago, but if you’re lucky, you can still get last-minute tickets or premium packages for the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Of course, watching the F1 racing event won’t be the only thing to do in Las Vegas — you can also attend the hottest parties in Las Vegas. Here is a lineup of the hottest parties, concerts, and experiences you don’t want to miss out.
