Round 22 · Nov 19–21
🇺🇸 Las Vegas · United States
Our picks from all 23 hand-mapped grandstands and zones — updated for 2026
Start/finish line, pit lane entry, and the Turn 1 braking zone in one seat — cars shedding 300 km/h right in front of you. The classic 'see everything decisive' position on a circuit where the racing concentrates at the braking zones.
This is the postcard: F1 cars at full speed with the Sphere glowing behind them, plus A-list pre-race performances in the zone itself. No other seat in world motorsport looks like this.
The Turn 3 chicane is the circuit's most reliable overtaking spot, and these stands bracket it for a fraction of premium pricing — genuine wheel-to-wheel racing at the most accessible reserved-seat price on the circuit.
If money is no object: Club Paris — a 1,200-guest rooftop with panoramic corner and skyline views — with the Caesars Palace Experience as the old-Vegas alternative.
Every grandstand position below is hand-mapped from satellite imagery. Tap a stand on the map or in the list for details.
The premium hub of the circuit, positioned directly on the start/finish line with front-row views of the pit lane entry and Turn 1 braking zone. Watch cars scrub off 300 km/h in an instant.
Positioned on the approach to Turn 3, giving a full view through the entire braking and direction-change sequence of the chicane complex.
A premium grandstand in the iconic T-Mobile Zone near Turn 5, with the Sphere forming an unmistakably Las Vegas backdrop. The zone also hosts A-list performances before the race.
The heart of the Las Vegas GP — a 15,000-capacity festival zone spanning the start/finish straight. Live concerts, sponsor activations, and cars screaming past at 340+ km/h under the Nevada night sky.
Tickets →An exclusive suite perched above the Main Grandstand with panoramic views across the pit lane, start/finish straight, and Turn 1. Only 500 guests — one of the most intimate premium experiences on the calendar.
Tickets →Prime positioning at the tight Turn 3 chicane — one of the few genuine overtaking spots on the circuit. Cars decelerate hard from the long flat-out blast, making this a hotspot for late-braking moves.
Tickets →Grandstand at the exit of Turn 3, catching cars as they accelerate back toward top speed. A more accessible way to see genuine side-by-side racing action.
Tickets →An intimate VIP hospitality club at Turn 4 with dedicated lounge access. One of the smaller premium zones on the circuit, offering a more personal race-day experience.
Tickets →A large grandstand at Turn 4 and the entry to the long main straight. Watch cars power out of the corner and begin their 340 km/h charge directly in front of the stands.
Tickets →Right at the exit of Turn 4 where DRS activates and cars commit to the longest flat-out section of the lap. Close-up views of the exact moment drivers go wide-open throttle.
Tickets →On the high-speed approach to Turn 4, where cars arrive carrying enormous speed before heavy braking. Great for seeing Formula 1 cars in full flight.
Tickets →At the technical Turn 7/8 complex with direct sightlines to the Sphere. One of the best photography spots on the circuit — world-class racing with Las Vegas' most distinctive landmark as the backdrop.
Tickets →Catches cars at Turn 8 as they navigate an elevation change rare among street circuits. A reminder that Las Vegas Boulevard has genuine undulations even at race speed.
Tickets →Spans the high-speed Turns 7-8 section where cars carry enormous velocity through one of the fastest stretches of the entire circuit.
Tickets →At the Turn 8/9 approach featuring a notable elevation change — a technical detail rarely seen at other street races. Good views of cars managing both speed and gradient simultaneously.
Tickets →Grandstand seating on Koval Lane, the flat-out section behind the paddock where cars carry maximum speed before the heavy braking zone into Turn 5. Top speeds regularly exceed 340 km/h here, right at the point of peak velocity on the lap.
Tickets →VIP hospitality at Turns 12/13 at the highest elevation point on the circuit, with sweeping views of the track layout and the Las Vegas skyline. One of the most scenic vantage points available anywhere on the circuit.
Tickets →Outside the legendary Caesars Palace hotel at Turn 17, as cars prepare for the final push back to the main straight. Includes premium dining and entertainment within one of Las Vegas' most iconic establishments.
Tickets →Turn 14 grandstand with the world-famous Bellagio fountains visible beyond the circuit barriers. The MGM Zone combines front-row racing with the most recognisable landmark in Las Vegas.
Tickets →Continues the MGM Zone experience at Turns 15/16 with the Bellagio Fountains as backdrop. The winding middle sector of the circuit keeps cars in view through multiple corners.
Tickets →An intimate 2,000-capacity clubhouse at the Turn 15/16 complex. Smaller than the major hospitality zones, this offers a more personal race-day atmosphere in one of the circuit's busiest technical sections.
Tickets →A rooftop VIP experience limited to 1,200 guests, with one of the highest viewing points on the circuit. Panoramic sightlines across multiple corners and the Las Vegas skyline make this the most exclusive seat in the house.
Tickets →The official Lewis Hamilton fan package section at Turns 16/17 — the final complex before cars accelerate onto the main straight. Race-day views paired with an exclusive experience themed around one of the sport's most decorated champions.
Tickets →Thursday practice from $50, Friday qualifying from $99, Saturday race from $393 — Thursday is the cheapest F1 ticket of the season
Flamingo GA from $492; T-Mobile Zone GA near the Sphere from $809
Reserved seats; premium zones like T-Mobile run higher
The Grand Prix Trio rotates three vantage points across the weekend; Skyboxes and clubs range to $25,000
You don't travel to this circuit — you're probably sleeping inside it. The track wraps around the Strip's core, so most visitors stay at a hotel that's effectively trackside and walk to their gate. The Monorail and rideshare work from farther afield, but plan around the closures: the Boulevard shuts to traffic around 5pm each race day and reopens in the early morning hours. The real logistics tip is timing, not transport — sessions run late into the night, so book flights and checkout for the Thursday–Saturday schedule, not a normal race weekend: this is the only F1 event that finishes on Saturday and gives you Sunday to recover.
Two things nobody expects. First: it's cold. The desert at midnight in late November drops toward 10°C/50°F — bring an actual jacket to the race everyone associates with heat. Second: the schedule is nocturnal by design — practice and qualifying push toward midnight, so don't book an early Sunday flight home. And whatever your ticket, the zones are half the show: concerts, activations, and the Sphere doing things the TV broadcast never captures.

The circuit first appeared on the Formula 1 calendar in 2023. Situated 610 metres above sea level, the thin air shapes car setup throughout the race weekend.

November 19–21, 2026 — Thursday through Saturday, with the race on Saturday night, November 21. Vegas is the only F1 weekend that ends on Saturday.
The Heineken Silver Main Grandstand is our overall pick for racing action at the start/finish and Turn 1. For spectacle, the T-Mobile Zone grandstands put the Sphere behind the cars; for value, the Hello Kitty Grandstands bracket the Turn 3 overtaking zone.
Single-day tickets start at $50 for Thursday practice; 3-day general admission from $492; grandstands roughly $925–2,000; hospitality from $3,178 into five figures.
Colder than people expect — November desert nights fall to around 50°F/10°C by the late-race hours. A jacket is essential; this is the one F1 race where you pack for winter, not summer.
6.201 km with 17 turns, run over 50 laps at night. It's one of the fastest tracks on the calendar — top speeds exceed 340 km/h on the Strip, and the current lap record is 1:33.365, set by Max Verstappen in 2025.
