Las Vegas Grand Prix Plaza: new F1 fan attractions to open in May 2025

The world’s largest Formula 1 attraction, the Grand Prix Plaza, will open its doors in Las Vegas on 2 May 2025. Home to the Las Vegas Grand Prix Pit Building, the 39-acre Grand Prix Plaza features more than 100,000 square feet of entertainment across three ticketed F1 attractions. 

The venue will close for the season in late summer to prepare for November’s Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix, with a future reopening date to be announced. Attractions within the Grand Prix Plaza include:

  • F1® X: experience a Formula 1 event like no other with F1® X at the Grand Prix Plaza, where classic engineering meets cutting edge high-tech. Guests will step into Becoming F1, a holographic experience immersing guests in the lives of the F1 crew behind the sport. Afterwards, guests can take a journey through time with 75 Years of Formula 1, an exclusive exhibition curated for the Grand Prix Plaza featuring rare artifacts, legendary cars and championship winning gear that have shaped the sport since 1950.

Las Vegas Grand Prix Plaza

Emily Prazer, president and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix and chief commercial officer for Formula 1, said: “Grand Prix Plaza represents a significant investment in the future of Formula 1 in Las Vegas. These new attractions will offer unprecedented access to F1, giving many fans their first up-close look at a Formula 1 car before stepping into a racing simulator or even karting on a portion of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit. As part of our steadfast commitment to Las Vegas, we are thrilled to offer significantly discounted pricing to locals so that Grand Prix Plaza is an easily accessible community asset all year long. Grand Prix Plaza is one of the jewels of F1 in North America, and we know it will provide access and experiences that will grow the sport’s fan base.”

The 2025 Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix takes place from 20-22 November. Single-day tickets start at $50/£38 and three-day tickets start at $400/£310 for general admission in the Flamingo Zone by Caesars Rewards®, marking the lowest ticket prices yet.
