Fans of car racing can look forward to a new experience in Las Vegas as Grand Prix Plaza in the city will open three new attractions later this month.
In a press statement, the Grand Prix Plaza says that the immersive experience has been set up in partnership with Round Room Live in an area of over 10,000 sqm and comes with three attractions offering adrenaline-fuelled entertainment.
The statement adds that home to the Las Vegas Grand Prix Pit Building, the Grand Prix Plaza opens to the public for the first time inviting fans to three new F1 attractions.
F1X is an interactive Formula 1 experience that offers visitors a tech-driven journey through a cutting-edge 4D exhibition with legendary artifacts, iconic F1 cars and hands-on activities where visitors can design their own virtual F1 car and put it to the test on the virtual track.
Another attraction set to open here is F1 Drive, an official F1 karting attraction takes place on part of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit grid where visitors can experience the speed, sights and sounds of Formula 1 in high-performance karts with F1-inspired features including an LED steering wheel display and DRS technology.
The third attraction, F1Hub at the heart of Grand Prix Plaza that features F1 Sims, a flagship F1 store and food and beverage offerings at Furel & Fork.
“Grand Prix Plaza represents a significant investment in the future of Formula 1 in Las Vegas. These new attractions will offer unprecedented access to F1, giving many fans their first up-close look at a Formula 1 car before stepping into a racing simulator or even karting on a portion of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit,” says Emily Prazer, President and CEO, Las Vegas Grand Prix, and Chief Commercial Officer for Formula 1.

“As part of our steadfast commitment to Las Vegas, we are thrilled to offer significantly discounted pricing to locals so that Grand Prix Plaza is an easily accessible community asset all year long. Grand Prix Plaza is one of the jewels of F1 in North America, and we know it will provide access and experiences that will grow the sport’s fan base,” she adds.
“These new experiences are as close to an F1 race one can get without being a professional driver. This is the largest-scale F1 exhibition we have debuted in North America, and there was no better place to do it than the home of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Whether you are a lifelong fan or new to the grid, this is an inside look at what makes F1 a global phenomenon, with plenty of thrills along the way,” says Jonathan Linden, Co-CEO, Round Room Live and Producer of Formula 1 Exhibition.
Grand Prix Plaza will open seven days a week, and flexible event spaces with attraction access are available across three building levels and rooftop, including three new private event spaces, Turn 1 Lounge, Cool Down Room and GPP Garage that available to rent year-round.
Tickets go on sale March 6 and include special rates for locals, children, seniors and military. The attraction closes for the season in late summer in preparation for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, with a future reopening date to be announced.
