F1 in Las Vegas, business figures
After 41 years of absence, F1 is back in “Sin City” (The City of Sin). With a track installed in the heart of the “Las Vegas Strip” and its hotels and casinos, the Fan Experience promises to be rather festive on site. Held at night on Saturday November 18 (10 p.m. locally – Sunday 7 a.m. in France), the race will offer a colorful postcard of Vegas to millions of viewers around the world.
Last year, the Daily Mail specified that this new Las Vegas Grand Prix might become the most lucrative for F1 with an amount estimated at a few 100 million pounds, around €117m per race paid to Liberty Media.
An investment which confirms the “sport spectacle” strategy of Las Vegas which is increasingly focused on the organization of sports competitions in order to diversify its tourist offer.
“This event will provide a spectacular experience for fans and generate lasting commercial benefits” clarified a few days ago Greg Maffei, President of Liberty Media. The local economy might benefit from more than a billion dollars from the race.
Concerning the ticketing offer, each day might accommodate more than 100,000 “general public” spectators. On the VIP side, the “Paddock Club” offer will be located on 3 floors above the garages with a roof top (8,000 VIPs).
Race event, this Las Vegas GP is obviously a opportunity for F1, the teams and the various partners to speak. Discover the main notable activations below!

Netflix organise la « Netflix Cup »
This Tuesday, the streaming platform Netflix organized a golf tournament bringing together some F1 drivers and PGA Tour golfers at Wynn Golf Club. An event broadcast live on Netflix which claims a first for it in live sport.
This “Netflix Cup”, which you presented to us here, will have been an opportunity for the streaming platform to offer itself some great publicity. Hole 5 was notably dedicated to the series “The Squid Game” with the presence of masked characters and the famous doll. An event which also highlighted the new “Sphere” performance hall whose exterior dome is a giant video screen.
