Las Vegas Strip Circuit
Track Sectors
The opening complex around the Sphere and Caesars Palace — 90-degree corners with plenty of run-off, unusually wide for a street circuit.
The long back straight along Koval Lane — one of the fastest stretches of the season, with a serious DRS advantage.
Down the Strip itself, past the Bellagio and Paris Las Vegas, into a heavy braking zone at the final hairpin.
About Las Vegas
The Las Vegas Strip Circuit runs directly down Las Vegas Boulevard — the Strip — past many of the city's most recognisable landmarks, from the Sphere to the Bellagio fountains. It is a fast, wide street circuit by F1 standards, with a long sequence of straights rather than the narrow wall-lined layouts typical of most urban venues. Top speeds are among the highest of the year, and DRS offers a pronounced advantage.
The race runs at night on a Saturday local time (Sunday in Europe), partly to accommodate the city's tourism schedule. Track temperatures can drop significantly across the session, which creates graining and front-tyre warm-up challenges typical of cold-climate night racing. The first Las Vegas weekend in 2023 was dramatic; the event has rapidly become one of the most commercially important on the calendar.

Circuit History
Formula 1 last raced in Las Vegas at the Caesars Palace car park circuit in 1981 and 1982 — generally considered among the least-loved venues ever to host the championship. The 2023 Strip Circuit, built with direct Liberty Media involvement, is an entirely different event: a purpose-built street layout down the city's most famous boulevard.
