LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The Las Vegas Grand Prix originally thought it could open its pit building Grand Prix Plaza Saturday for fan experiences year-round, but the F1 race officials in Las Vegas have moved the public opening date to May 2.
“We have adjusted our public opening date to Friday, May 2. We are committed to providing a great guest experience and just need some extra time to deliver an experience that meets our expectations,” Las Vegas Grand Prix said in a statement to LVSportsBiz.com.
Now in its third year of holding a street race in the Strip corridor, the Las Vegas Grand Prix is trying to connect more with its host town of Las Vegas after a rocky start in Year 1 in 2023 with track prep work causing major traffic and work disruptions on the Strip and surrounding roads. The race also prompted four lawsuits against F1 and Clark County.
The $500 million pit building at Koval Lane and Harmon Avenue east of the Strip was designed to have fan experiences like a 1,650-foot karting track, cockpit simulators for kids and an interactive F1 experience where fans can create their own car. The ticketed experiences range from $26 to $79 plus fees and taxes.
