Formula 1 has secured a long-term extension for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, confirming the race will continue on the iconic Strip Circuit through 2037. The announcement cements Las Vegas as a cornerstone of F1’s expanding presence in the United States.
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, confirmed the deal and praised the event’s rapid rise since its debut in 2023. “We are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come,” Domenicali said. “Since its debut in 2023, the event has been extraordinary, rapidly establishing itself as a premier destination for great racing, world-class entertainment, global business leaders, A-list celebrities and influencers.”
The 6.2-kilometer Las Vegas Strip Circuit sends drivers past several of the city’s most recognizable landmarks at speeds exceeding 322 km/h on the main straight. The race has quickly become one of the most high-profile events on the F1 calendar, drawing significant attention from both the motorsport world and the broader entertainment industry.
Domenicali highlighted the economic benefits the Grand Prix has brought to the region. “It has delivered a strong and lasting impact on the local economy and community,” he said. “We always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States, and this extension, together with the success of recent years, reinforces our long-term commitment to this important market.”
The F1 chief also acknowledged the partnerships that have underpinned the event’s success. “I would like to thank Las Vegas Grand Prix, Clark County, and the LVCVA for their continued support, passion, and vision,” Domenicali said. “The future is incredibly exciting, and we look forward to taking this event to even greater heights.”
F1’s history in Las Vegas stretches back over 40 years. The Caesars Palace Grand Prix, held on a temporary circuit in the hotel’s parking lot, ran in 1981 and 1982 before the sport departed the city for decades. The modern race’s return in 2023 marked a dramatic reimagining of the event, trading the parking lot layout for a street circuit winding through the heart of the Strip.
The extension through 2037 gives the Las Vegas Grand Prix one of the longest remaining contracts on the F1 calendar, signaling the sport’s confidence in the American market as it continues to grow its footprint in the United States alongside races in Miami and Austin.
