The Impact of Formula One in Las Vegas: A Closer Look TheStripLV, November 20, 2023 [ad_1] The Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix made its highly anticipated debut on Saturday night, drawing mixed reactions from fans and spectators at various locations across the city. At the off-Strip Palms Casino Resort, some customers focused on college football games instead of the race, while others were seen watching the F1 event with little interest. Lorenzo Burru, a Ferrari supporter, was an exception, donning a red tracksuit and intently watching the race from the plush seats in the Palms sportsbook. However, at Ellis Island, located near the race’s Turn 4, the response from F1 fans and customers was overwhelmingly positive. With the casino signing a partnership with Formula One and offering 1,000 grandstand seats, both regular customers and out-of-town visitors filled the small casino with excitement. The Red Rock Resort in Summerlin also experienced a high level of interest in the race, with an estimated 250 attendees watching from seats and filling the sportsbook bar. Locals of the Las Vegas Valley took advantage of free community showings at various venues including the Clark County Government Center Amphitheater, Nellis Air Force Base, and Water Street Plaza in Henderson. While some spectators complained about the traffic and hiccups associated with the first-year event, others expressed their excitement and enthusiasm for the race. Looking ahead to next year’s race, ticket deposits for the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix were already open, drawing attention to the logistics and policy decisions that must be addressed before the next event. Key questions include the impact of road closures and the city’s preparation for hosting the prestigious racing event. As the F1 circus leaves for the season finale in Abu Dhabi, all eyes are now on the future of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and its potential as a major event in the city’s sports and entertainment landscape.
