Las Vegas Grand Prix Could Stay on F1 Calendar Until 2037 After Key Vote

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is on course to remain a fixture on the Formula 1 calendar for more than another decade, after a unanimous vote by Nevada lawmakers opened the door to the event continuing until 2037.

Commission Vote Clears Path to Long-Term Deal

The original resolution was first signed on February 7th, 2023, to allow the race to go ahead. Tuesday's amendment now extends the framework within which the event can operate, potentially through to 2037.

Disruption Concerns Must Be Addressed

While the vote was unanimous, it did not come without conditions. A persistent source of tension surrounding the Las Vegas Grand Prix has been the disruption caused to local residents and businesses during the construction and dismantling of the circuit infrastructure. Commission Chair Michael Naft made it clear that any extended commitment must come with tangible improvements on that front.

"I support this, but it's got to come with very clear parameters that the purpose of more time is to condense the timeline," Naft said.

"I think there are clear things that have been demonstrated through the work that you and your office have done in conjunction with the organisers that set a path for a condensed timeline and condensed disruption, and it's going to be really important that the county make sure that we continue to stay on that point."

The message was pointed: continued support from local government is contingent on the organisers delivering on their promise to minimise the impact on the surrounding community.

A Race Built for the Long Term

Beyond the logistical challenges, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has been built with permanence in mind. Formula 1 has invested heavily in purpose-built paddock and hospitality facilities, and the circuit is made available for regular local traffic during the day once overnight track activity has concluded — a concession designed to ease the burden on the city's infrastructure.

The ambition to keep Las Vegas on the calendar through to 2037 reflects a broader trend of F1 locking in street circuit events on long-term arrangements. As the sport continues to expand its footprint in North America, stability at marquee venues is increasingly a strategic priority — something also evident in other recent calendar developments, such as the Madrid circuit pushing ahead with its planned Formula 1 debut despite external speculation.

For Las Vegas, the unanimous backing of the Clark County Commission sends a clear signal: the desert showpiece is not going anywhere anytime soon.
