Las Vegas
A night race down a boulevard of casinos, with very long straights, very cold track temperatures and a lap that is far quicker than a street circuit has any right to be.

Las Vegas Grand Prix is round 21, 22 Nov 2026. The review publishes the day after.
The lap
The lap, drawn from the official circuit diagram and simplified to 117 points. This is the shape of the circuit; the length and corner count in the strip above are the published figures, hand-checked against the circuit’s own specifications.
What a ticket here actually gets you
Zone and stand structure, checked 29 Jul 2026. No prices — those move, and we do not publish one until it has been checked and dated.
The grandstands
Grandstands are sold across four zones, and they cover quite different experiences: East Harmon for pit-lane action, West Harmon for outright speed, the Sphere Zone (also called the T-Mobile Zone) for atmosphere near the Sphere, and the Koval Zone by Heineken — new for 2026 — the cheapest bleacher seating, covering Turns 3 to 5. Decide which of those four you are buying before you compare prices, because they are not substitutes for each other.
What a Las Vegas weekend actually costs
A night race down a boulevard of casinos, with very long straights, very cold track temperatures and a lap that is far quicker than a street circuit has any right to be.
Cold air and long straights make this the outlier round for the 2026 power units, and the one where energy strategy differs most from everywhere else on the calendar.
Seats we could actually find on sale at Las Vegas ran from €850 up to €1900 (general admission through to the priciest grandstand, not counting hospitality or Paddock Club) — checked 31 Jul 2026. Ticket prices move constantly and this is not every seat at the circuit, so treat it as a rough budget, not a quote. A typical return flight from a mid-priced European hub, booked around two months out, runs about €700 a person; add roughly €268 a person for three nights in a mid-range hotel over the race weekend. These are grounded, dated estimates, not live quotes. See the full cost ranking for how every circuit compares. What we can tell you is which decision moves the total most, and that is grandstand or general admission, followed by where you buy it.

Getting there
Everything is on the Strip, which is both the appeal and the problem — the circuit closes the roads it runs on.
Where to sit
This is the most expensive weekend of the year by a wide margin. Grandstand choice matters less than deciding whether the premium is worth it to you at all. The Sphere Zone, covering Turns 5 through 9, trades a view of the venue's landmark screen for actual racing action. The Koval Zone sits mid-lap, and the Harmon Straight grandstands, near Turn 17, catch the run back toward the startline — all substantially cheaper than a seat directly on the Strip itself.
Weighing it against other circuits
Dates move; circuits do not. This block reads from the season overlay, so it is right whenever you happen to be reading it.
