Las Vegas For the first time since 1982, Formula 1 (F1) racing returns to fabulous Las Vegas in a ten-year deal that begins in November 2023.
The previous Las Vegas Grand Prix all took place in the Caesars Palace car park, whereas the upcoming races will be contested on the city’s main strip. The Grand Prix, which is due to take place at night, will see poker’s most famous destination transformed into a 3.8-mile (6.1km) track, which weaves through all the famous Las Vegas landmarks. The race itself will last for 50-laps and will see the drivers reach speeds of up to 212 mph. The decade long partnership is rumoured to be worth a staggering £1 billion for F1 and would make it the largest deal in the sports history.
F1 has been trying to break into the US market for quite some time and the Las Vegas Grand Prix becomes the third regular fixture to take place on American soil. The Miami Grand Prix is a fresh addition to the F1 season and makes its debut in May 2022 while the Austin, Texas Grand Prix keeps its October time slot.

Another iconic brand returning to the Las Vegas strip is the 2022 World Series of Poker . Although it never left Sin City, the biggest poker festival in the world returns to its roots at Bally’s Las Vegas (soon to be The Horseshoe Casino).
While it is unlikely that any F1 drivers will be present at the series, there are a handful of F1 gearheads who love to tangle on the felt.
