Formula 1 race week will, once again, take place around the glitzy Las Vegas strip on 20th–23rd November 2025. And we’ve rounded up where to go, stay, dine, and drink during the most star-studded racing event of the year.
Where to go
255 Sands Ave, NV 89169
The Sphere
Best for: when racing cars and gambling aren’t your speed.
Visit the world’s largest globe with a 360-degree LED light show, The Sphere. The futuristic design of this architectural masterpiece (and new star attraction on the Vegas skyline) is the largest spherical structure in the world, with immersive visual effects and audio that make concerts and films (The Wizard of Oz is currently playing) a mesmerising theatrical experience that shouldn’t be missed.

The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace
Best for: updating your trackside wardrobe in between race days.
Shop till you drop with every luxury brand now available at The Forum Shops. While many of the big-name hotels now hold boutiques with the top names in luxury fashion, Caesars Palace was the original hotel that brought this level of enviable fashion to the strip. Amid the 160 stores (and Roman statues), the brands span from Louis Vuitton to Versace to Valentino.

Skydive the Strip℠| After Sunset
Best for: even more adrenaline-fuelled adventure.
Fancy freefalling at 11,000 feet during a tandem jump over the neon lights, looking down at the strip? You’ll arrive by limousine and depart with a private helicopter pickup from the The Las Vegas Country Club, formerly frequented by legends like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Vegas is booming with thrilling attractions, but his one takes it to new heights. Pun intended.

Where to drink
The Poodle Room
Best for: a member-only lounge.
If you want to sip Champagne in a Baccarat glass away from the fray of the strip, this member-only club, designed by the Rockwell Group, is the perfect perch.

The Chandelier
Best for: off-menu cocktails under a crystal-clad chandelier.
If you enjoyed The Phantom of the Opera, you’ll love this over-the-top glamorous bar, where you’ll imbibe under two million crystals draped in the show-stopping ceiling chandelier. Located inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, this bar also created the Verbena cocktail and is still one of the most popular orders even though it’s an in-the-know, off-menu item.
