Las Vegas, June 5 (HS): Formula One officially announced on Friday that the prestigious Las Vegas Grand Prix will remain on the calendar through 2037. Under a new 10-year extension agreement, Formula One, Las Vegas Grand Prix Inc., the Clark County administration, and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) have secured the long-term future of the global sporting spectacle.
Since its addition to the Formula One calendar in 2023, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has established itself as one of the most talked-about events in world motorsport. Held on the iconic Las Vegas Strip, the race has evolved beyond a sporting competition into a global platform that combines sport, entertainment, business, and tourism.
The 6.2-kilometre Las Vegas Strip Circuit allows drivers to reach speeds exceeding 322 km/h (200 mph). The track winds past some of the city's most famous landmarks, including Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Wynn Las Vegas, and The Venetian Resort.
In the race’s brief history, Max Verstappen has claimed victory twice, winning in 2023 and 2025, while George Russell triumphed in 2024. The 2024 edition featured a remarkable 113 overtakes, and it was also the year Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive FIA Formula One World Championship title.
The event has also delivered a substantial economic impact. Between 2023 and 2025, the first three editions of the Las Vegas Grand Prix contributed a combined $3.2 billion to the Southern Nevada economy. All three races were completely sold out.
In 2025 alone, the Grand Prix generated $43 million in state and local tax revenue, including $15 million earmarked for local K–12 education programs.
Beyond its economic contribution, the Las Vegas Grand Prix Foundation has donated more than $2 million to nonprofit organizations and has supported educational opportunities for local students.
Formula One President and Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali said that Las Vegas has quickly become one of the central pillars of Formula One’s identity in the United States and that the extension further strengthens the sport’s long-term commitment to the city.
Meanwhile, Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix Inc., said the extension through 2037 reflects the success of local partnerships and the strong support received from the community.
LVCVA President and CEO Steve Hill described the agreement as a historic milestone for both Las Vegas and Formula One, adding that the Grand Prix has become an integral part of the city's global identity and international appeal.
