The Grand Prix is coming to Las Vegas!

The world-famous neon lit city in the desert of Nevada will become the newest event on the F1 calendar and one of three to be staged in the US from 2023, alongside Austin and Miami. The last time Formula One came to Vegas was way back in the early eighties, only appearing twice on the schedule - 1981 and 1982. The circuit was loved by spectators because of it being a street circuit and what a site it will be to watch the formula one racing cars screeching past all the famous landmarks, hotels, and casinos that this city has to offer.

The circuit will be held at night on Saturday over 50 laps, with a 14-turn track over 3.8 miles (6.12km), with cars being able to reach over 210mph (340km/h) and three straights, a high-speed cornering sequence and a single chicane section.

What Has Las Vegas Got to Offer?

People have many opinions of Vegas and what it has to offer, but no one can really say it is boring and if you think Las Vegas is nothing more than an array of windowless casinos and dated lounge acts, then we’ve got news for you. Sin City left most of its tawdry roots behind years ago, embracing a new philosophy of fun and entertainment for all ages that translates into an entity more like a high-class amusement park than a topless revue. Even families love Las Vegas for the rare opportunity to indulge the whole clan in one location.

Sure, gambling and shows are at the centre of most people’s itinerary. But the diversity of attractions and activities now on offer allows visitors to craft a Vegas holiday with much greater depth and dimension. Best of all, a getaway to Sin City doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.

The Strip remains, as always, the nexus and lifeblood of the Vegas scene. Although development has slowed somewhat in the wake of the global recession, the US$11 billion City Centre complex recently opened with fanfare and rave reviews. Other attractions include new restaurants in the form of for example Nobu and superlative in-the-works endeavours like the High Roller, a massive observation wheel even taller than the London Eye, ensures Las Vegas has something fresh with each passing season and of course, now the Formula One Grand Prix is in town, what more do you want!

Take your pick of mega-resorts along the Strip, from the absolute luxury of Wynn Las Vegas to the Big Tent whimsy of Circus Circus. Cliché aside, in terms of accommodation, there really is something for everyone, whether you’re a group of friends looking to tear it up or a family with kids. Best of all, there has never been a better time to plan a travel Las Vegas holiday and we have a great selection of hotels available for our guests who choose one of our hospitality packages.

There’s no chance of Las Vegas reverting to a ghost town, even with the recession that could be gripping the American economy anytime soon. Sin City is holding its own, with plenty of big-name entertainment headlining the hotels. But the top resorts know these are thrifty times for tourists and have made it common practice to keep a selection of discounted package deals on offer. From golf and spa packages to multiple-night room rate bargains, there are savings everywhere you look.
