North America’s largest and most dynamic Formula 1® attraction is racing into Las Vegas on March 29, 2025. In partnership with Round Room Live, this high-octane destination will be set within the 39-acre Grand Prix Plaza, featuring more than 100,000 square feet of adrenaline-fueled entertainment throughout most of the year across three ticketed F1® attractions. Guests can sign up for presale access at grandprixplaza.com.
Grand Prix Plaza, home to the state-of-the-art Las Vegas Grand Prix Pit Building, will open to the public for the first time, inviting fans to experience three new F1 attractions:
- F1® X: The interactive Formula 1 experience offers guests a tech-driven journey through a cutting-edge 4D exhibition with legendary artifacts, iconic F1 cars and hands-on activities where visitors can design their own virtual F1 car and put it to the test on the virtual track.
- F1® DRIVE: This official F1 karting attraction takes place on part of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit™ grid where guests can experience the speed, sights and sounds of Formula 1 in high-performance karts with F1-inspired features including an LED steering wheel display and DRS technology.
- F1® HUB: The Hub is the heart of Grand Prix Plaza and features F1 SIMS, a flagship F1 store and elevated food and beverage offerings.
“Grand Prix Plaza represents a significant investment in the future of Formula 1 in Las Vegas,” said Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. and Chief Commercial Officer for Formula 1. “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.”
Jonathan Linden, Co-CEO of Round Room Live and Producer of The Formula 1® Exhibition, said, “These new experiences are as close to an F1 race one can get without being a professional driver. This is the largest-scale F1 exhibition we’ve debuted in North America, and there was no better place to do it than the home of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the grid, this is an inside look at what makes F1 a global phenomenon – with plenty of thrills along the way.”
Each experience will be individually ticketed and can be pre-purchased at grandprixplaza.com or bought on-site.
