Consolation Prize For F1 Road Headaches: Las Vegas Grand Prix Reserves Friday To Sell Single-Day Tickets To Nevada Residents For Nov. 18 Formula One Race On Strip

Nevada residents, rejoice.
The promoter of the much-publicized Formula One car race on the Strip has reserved a day for you on Friday to buy single-day race tickets for the Las Vegas Grand Prix set for Nov. 18. The 50-lap race on the 3.8-mile course starts at 10 PM that Saturday on Nov. 18.
For a one-day grandstand ticket, the costs start at $200 plus fees and taxes, while single-day hospitality tickets will start at $1,200 plus fees and taxes.
Here are the grandstand locations:
- T-Mobile Zone at Sphere Grandstands
- PG2 Grandstand at East Harmon Zone by Virgin Hotels
- Heritage
- Heineken® House
- Club Paris
- Club SI
Locals have put up with a lot of traffic woes and road closures as the grand prix has paved the race route and installed grandstands along the circuit, which includes the Strip, plus neighboring roads like Harmon, Koval and Sands.
Many of the ticket deals being peddled to the public include hospitality and food/drink components, so the F1 race tickets have cost in the thousands of dollars.
The race promoters convinced the Las Vegas tourism agency, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and Clark County commissioners that the F1 event will generate a spending bonanza by race fans visiting from Europe and across the country.
