The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix festivities will take place November 20-22 on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit. The event is expected to have official attendance of between 300,000 and 315,000 fans for the race weekend, capped off by the main event on Saturday night.
Attendance is expected to be strong, with estimates ranging between 300,000 and 320,000 total for the race weekend. The impact for casino operators MGM Resorts (MGM), Caesars Entertainment (CZR), and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) is expected to be generally positive, although some analysts have warned disruption from the Grand Prix setup has impacted visitation at certain casinos. Still, the consensus view is that the Las Vegas Grand Prix is likely to generate significant demand for resort rooms, dining, and entertainment, with notable surges in premium bookings and suite reservations, particularly among high-net-worth attendees.
MGM Resorts International (MGM), in particular, will be in the spotlight, with the Bellagio, Aria, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and New York-New York all featuring fan zones hosted by Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:MBGAF), Williams Racing, and MoneyGram Haas, alongside immersive art, fashion pop-ups, and appearances from top drivers, team principals, and fan favorites. “With our properties only steps from the track, we’re creating an unmatched collection of food & beverage experiences, art, fashion, nightlife, and fan zones that only Las Vegas can deliver. This is where the energy of Formula 1 meets the spectacle of The Strip,” highlighted the company.
Crucially, Las Vegas Grand Prix officials believe the high-profile race this week could help reverse the decline in international tourism to the city. Race officials have pointed to growing interest from Mexico, Canada, and throughout Europe, which is a welcome sign after travelers from those regions cited in surveys this year high prices and U.S. immigration and tariff policies as reasons for taking vacation and spending money elsewhere.
