F1 Las Vegas 2024: What to Know and How to Buy Tickets

Formula 1 is returning to Vegas in 2024, and we’re here to help you get the most out of it. Max Verstappen and 19 others are expected to participate in the race itself on November 23. Race weekend will take place on November 21-23.

So, what do you need to know for the 2024 Las Vegas Formula 1 Heineken Silver Grand Prix?

• The race begins at 10 pm Pacific time on Saturday, November 23
• The qualifying will take place at 10 pm on Friday, November 22
• Practice begins at 6:30 pm on Thursday, November 21
• There will be two more practice rounds on each of November 21 and November 22

• The starting line is at the Grand Prix Plaza building on the corner of Harmon and Koval to the east of the Strip. Constructed in 2023 specifically for the event, the building is a 300,000-square-foot structure. It is the largest F1 starting building to date.
• The race technically starts on Harmon before turning onto Koval and eventually down the Strip and around and around.
• The official F1 Las Vegas site has a track circuit map.

General admission tickets, which do not include seating, may be available on the official F1 Las Vegas site but are definitely available via secondhand ticket resellers. Food and beverages are available for purchase with these tickets (with the exception of the Heineken Zone, where they are included).

The more desirable zones where GA tickets are available are the Caesars Palace Zone (Caesars Palace) and the Heineken Zone (South Koval). The least desirable zones are the T Mobile Zone (near the Sphere) and the Flamingo Zone (Flamingo casino). Three-day tickets in the least desirable zones start at around $675 plus taxes/fees per three-day pass, going over $1,000 in the more desirable zones. You can find one-day passes for the Flamingo Zone only.

Note: There are 10,000 total GA tickets, many of which were sold to local Las Vegas residents.

Grandstand tickets, which include assigned seats, may be available on the official F1 Las Vegas site but are definitely available on secondhand reseller sites. The grandstand tickets include complimentary food, soda, and water.

The Heineken Silver Zone, located at the start/finish line in the aforementioned purpose-built structure, is the most sought-after zone. The next most desirable grandstand zone is the T Mobile Zone (near the Sphere), followed by the West Harmon Zone.

T Mobile Zone tickets will offer access to nightly entertainment on an outdoor stage. Headliners include OneRepublic (November 21), Alesso (November 22), and Ludacris (November 23).

Many hotels with views along the race circuit will offer different types of VIP packages that include hotel rooms, race viewing areas, and more.

The theme for 2024 is to make F1 Las Vegas more inclusive since many non-luxury casinos and attractions struggled last year.

Furthermore, some of the casinos have taken matters into their own hands and have created events catering to people who are priced out of F1 festivities.

The general public will have access to a free fan experience on the Strip during race weekend on land owned by Wynn. The venue will include live entertainment, food trucks, and ‘F1 attractions’.

Downtown Las Vegas will host the Neon City Festival from November 22-24. Preliminary plans call for free live music. The Fremont Experience, all Downtown hotels, and The STRAT are expected to participate. The Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority has already committed to a $1 million sponsorship for the event.

Like any town hosting a major sporting event, parking and lodging prices increase with increased demand.

In 2023, hotel and ticket prices started at exorbitant prices but eventually plummeted as race weekend approached (especially hotel prices).

This year, the resorts are taking a more conservative approach to pricing so that we won’t see similar price drops. However, the high-end properties with race views, including Wynn, Venetian/Palazzo, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and Cosmopolitan, are still expected to garner steep rates.

Other properties located on the course (between Wynn and Planet Hollywood) that cater to the middle market, such as Horseshoe, Flamingo, Linq, Cromwell, Harrah’s, TI, and Paris, are likely your best bet if you are on a budget and want to be part of the action. Currently, prices at these properties run in the $150 per night range.

Prices at other Strip properties outside the course track and Downtown have hotel rates below those of the aforementioned properties. Rates at these properties may even be lower than a typical Vegas weekend.

Note: Many rooms won’t face toward the F1 course, even in hotels along the course, so be mindful that you may not be able to see the course from your room.

• Road closures will occur each evening prior to the practice rounds on Thursday and Friday and before the race on Saturday.
• Numerous resorts will have parking available, though the resorts along the course will only allow parking for those with reservations (rooms, restaurants, or shows).
• There will be multiple rideshare drop-off points near the course that F1 will make available.
