Helpful tips and advice
Pre-prepare
Before you head to the circuit, have any information that you need saved on your phone, such as tickets and maps. With an event of this size, it's always a good idea to set a meeting point with friends and family too, in case you get separated.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes
You’ll likely be walking a lot to reach the grandstands, food stalls, F1 Fanzone, and the many exciting off-track entertainment options, so wearing comfortable shoes is essential.
Leave your cash at home
Cash is not accepted as a form of payment at the event.
Bring a jacket
Despite temperatures rising during the day, it’s easy to overlook that the desert nights can cool down rather dramatically! To stay comfortable during the late-night track action, be sure to have a jacket on hand.
Arrive early
With tens of thousands of fans attending the circuit over the race weekend, we recommend getting to the track early if you want to beat the worst of the queues.
Download the App
The official F1 Las Vegas App makes getting around much easier during the race weekend. It provides fans with information on scheduling, maps, entertainment and everything else Grand Prix-related that you’ll want to know during your time at the circuit!
Bin your rubbish
You'll find plenty of clearly marked bins for separating general waste from recyclables, so you don't have to carry your trash around all day!
Tickets
A valid ticket is required for entry into the circuit. Please ensure you have the correct ticket for the specific day you are attending, as tickets are non-transferrable for each day of the event.
If you wish to exit the circuit before re-entering later, guests must have their tickets “scanned out” before leaving their zone in order to be able to re-enter with the same ticket. Please note there is no re-entry permitted after 21:00 each evening.
