LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Amid declining Las Vegas tourism numbers, Vegas visitors industry leaders are now hoping the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix this month can bring tourism money to the market’s sagging economy.

The controversial road race and the disruptions brought by the installing and dismantling of the 3.8-million street course through the heart of the Strip corridor is now in its third year.

Year 1 was an impact disaster, but the four-month traffic plan and track work from September through December have had less overall impacts in Years 2 and 3. Lawsuits against F1 and Clark County filed by affected businesses over race impact allegations have also been resolved.

Formula One has also revamped its ticket prices for the Nov. 20-22 race event.

F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix President Emily Prazer

Las Vegas Grand Prix President Emily Prazer told LVSportsBiz.com this fall that many locals preferred to attend the race at a lower ticket price that did not include food and beverages. Generally speaking, F1 ticket prices have dropped 25 percent to 40 percent across the board in 2025:

  • General Admission: Starting at $469.68 (Flamingo Zone)
  • Grandstands: Starting at $1,115.23 (Lewis Hamilton Package)
  • Hospitality: Starting at $2,827.35 (Club Paris)

Here are also price deals that F1 emailed out to media for the Las Vegas race.

 

 

Installing all the concrete barriers, fencing and light mounts has meant some closed lanes along roads like Koval Lane, with motorists seeking other Strip roads and causing traffic issues on those streets.
