Las Vegas signs 10-year extension for Formula 1 race

Formula 1 announced a 10-year extension Thursday to keep a race in Las Vegas through 2037.

F1 came to the agreement with Las Vegas Grand Prix Inc., officials in Clark County and the city's tourism agency, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix debuted in November 2023 and has seen Max Verstappen (twice) and George Russell claim victory.

A night race held on the Las Vegas Strip, it has become a popular date on the F1 calendar. It was the third Grand Prix introduced to the U.S., following Miami (2022) and the United States Grand Prix (currently at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas).

"We are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come," F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said in a statement. "Since its debut in 2023, the event has been extraordinary, rapidly establishing itself as a premier destination for great racing, world-class entertainment, global business leaders, A-list celebrities and influencers. It has delivered a strong and lasting impact on the local economy and community. We always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States, and this extension, together with the success of recent years, reinforces our long-term commitment to this important market. I would like to thank Las Vegas Grand Prix, Clark County, and the LVCVA for their continued support, passion and vision. The future is incredibly exciting, and we look forward to taking this event to even greater heights."

Las Vegas Grand Prix Inc. president and CEO Emily Prazer added in a statement: "Securing a 10-year extension through 2037 is a defining moment for the Las Vegas Grand Prix and a reflection of the strength of our local partnerships. I'm incredibly proud of the team we have built in Las Vegas and our shared commitment to supporting the Southern Nevada community. We're deeply grateful to the Clark County Commission, LVCVA, our resort partners and the broader Las Vegas community for their continued collaboration and support in bringing this event to life."
