Formula 1 has confirmed a 10-year extension for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, securing the race's place on the calendar until at least 2037. The announcement cements the event's status as one of the sport's flagship destination races, barely two years after its debut on the streets of Sin City.
Las Vegas first joined the F1 calendar in 2023, positioned from the outset as a spectacle as much as a sporting contest — a Saturday night showpiece cutting through the heart of one of the world's most iconic cities. All three editions staged to date have sold out, underlining the race's commercial and cultural appeal.

The event has already produced defining moments in the sport's recent history, including Max Verstappen's coronation as a four-time World Champion in 2024 — a moment that fittingly unfolded under the neon lights of the Nevada Strip. Verstappen's future beyond 2028 remains a subject of intense scrutiny, but his legacy in Las Vegas is already written.
The financial case for extending the deal is substantial. F1 confirmed in an official statement that the Las Vegas Grand Prix has "delivered $3.2 billion in cumulative economic impact for Southern Nevada" — a figure that makes the race not merely a sporting event, but an economic engine for the region.

Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali was emphatic in his praise for what the event has become and what it represents for the sport's American ambitions.
"We are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come," he said. "Since its debut in 2023, the event has been extraordinary, rapidly establishing itself as a premier destination for great racing, world-class entertainment, global business leaders, A-list celebrities and influencers. It has delivered a strong and lasting impact on the local economy and community."
Domenicali also pointed to the broader strategic importance of the American market. "We always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States, and this extension, together with the success of recent years, reinforces our long-term commitment to this important market," he added, before thanking Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., Clark County, and the LVCVA for their ongoing partnership.
Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., also spoke with evident pride about the milestone.
"Securing a 10-year extension through 2037 is a defining moment for the Las Vegas Grand Prix and a reflection of the strength of our local partnerships," she said. "I'm incredibly proud of the team we have built in Las Vegas and our shared commitment to supporting the Southern Nevada community. We're deeply grateful to the Clark County Commission, LVCVA, our resort partners and the broader Las Vegas community for their continued collaboration and support in bringing this event to life."
With three consecutive sell-outs already behind it and billions of dollars in economic return, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has rapidly evolved from bold experiment to indispensable fixture on the Formula 1 calendar. The next decade promises to take it even further.
