Heineken will be the title sponsor of the Formula 1 grand prix race in Las Vegas in November 2023.

The Las Vegas race, which includes the Strip, will serve as a platform for the beer company to promote its Heineken Silver product in Nevada, known as the Silver State.

The Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix is the official name of the race set for Nov. 18, 2023.

Tomorrow, the Las Vegas Grand Prix will host a launch party, a fan fest that will feature a live car run.

The LVCVA has approved a $19.5 million, three-year partnership to stage the 3.8-mile race along the Strip and surrounding roads, including Koval Lane.

The tickets’ starting price of $500 has caused a stir for locals, who questioned whether they could afford to attend the event.

During the 14-turn route, the open-wheel race cars will zip around the MSG Sphere, the giant music venue behind the Venetian that is expected to be open in 2023.
