About The Las Vegas Grand Prix: the back story

The Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix runs from 19 to 21 November 2026, with cars racing down the Strip at night.

The race

The 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix is round 21 of the Formula 1 season, from 19 to 21 November 2026, on a street circuit that uses Las Vegas Boulevard, with the Grand Prix Plaza as its base.

Race week

Expect road closures and busy resorts. Sphere hosts an F1 afterparty with the Backstreet Boys on 21 November.

For one weekend in November, the Strip becomes a racetrack.

Getting around

The Monorail runs nonstop from 7 am on 17 November to 3 am on 23 November 2026, which makes it the easiest way to move along the Strip during race week.

Our advice: book hotels early, use the Monorail, and check the official race site for road closures.
