Vegas to remain on F1 calendar through 2037

The Las Vegas Grand Prix has officially extended its contract to remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least the 2037 season.

The race on the 3.8-mile Las Vegas Strip Circuit first joined the calendar in 2023, initially with only the first three years confirmed but with an agreement in place for that to become a 10-year deal. Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., Clark County officials, and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) have now all committed for a further 10 years beyond this year’s event, continuing Vegas’ investment in sports.

“We are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come,” Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali said. “Since its debut in 2023, the event has been extraordinary, rapidly establishing itself as a premier destination for great racing, world-class entertainment, global business leaders, A-list celebrities and influencers.

“It has delivered a strong and lasting impact on the local economy and community. We always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States, and this extension, together with the success of recent years, reinforces our long-term commitment to this important market.

“I would like to thank Las Vegas Grand Prix, Clark County, and the LVCVA for their continued support, passion, and vision. The future is incredibly exciting, and we look forward to taking this event to even greater heights.”

F1 claims the event has delivered $3.2 billion in cumulative economic impact for Southern Nevada since the first race in 2023, and says $43 million was generated in state and local tax revenue last year.

“Securing a 10-year extension through 2037 is a defining moment for the Las Vegas Grand Prix and a reflection of the strength of our local partnerships,” Las Vegas Grand Prix President and CEO Emily Prazer said. “I’m incredibly proud of the team we have built in Las Vegas and of our shared commitment to supporting the Southern Nevada community. We’re deeply grateful to the Clark County Commission, LVCVA, our resort partners and the broader Las Vegas community for their continued collaboration and support in bringing this event to life.

“Las Vegas is unlike anywhere else in the world, and its energy, hospitality, and scale have played a major role in shaping what this race has become. This long-term extension allows us to continue delivering a world-class experience for our fans.”

LVCVA President and CEO Steve Hill says the F1 race has been a key pillar of Vegas’ ongoing repositioning as a sporting destination, following the likes of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL and Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL.

“Extending our partnership with Formula 1 for the next decade is a major moment for both Las Vegas and the grand prix,” Hill said. “In just three years, the race has become a signature global event – putting Las Vegas at the center of culture, competition and entertainment during race week.

“As the spotlight of the world turns to Las Vegas, the event continues to reinforce our evolution as a premier sports and entertainment destination. Built for spectacle and designed to host the world’s biggest moments, Las Vegas is proud to continue this dynamic partnership with Formula 1 for the next decade and beyond.”
