The splashy night race along the Las Vegas Strip, which debuted in 2023 after eight months of disruptive construction, had attendance dip last year amid complaints about high ticket prices, which organisers sought to remedy this year.
LAS VEGAS, Nov 25 — The Las Vegas Grand Prix was a sell-out with more than 300,000 fans attending across three days, organisers said today, while hailing the event as a showcase of the sport’s global appeal and the city’s status as a premier entertainment destination.
“We are incredibly proud of what this sold-out Las Vegas Grand Prix delivered,” Emily Prazer, CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, told Reuters in an email, adding that it showed “Formula One at its very best.”
“We elevated the guest experience at every turn and created iconic cultural moments that could only happen in Las Vegas, all while staying firmly rooted in what matters most - the race.”
F1 officials said they were still gathering final attendance numbers.
