Grandstand and Room Packages

The three-day package comes in two options. The first is the Bellagio Grandstands where guests can watch the race from seats overlooking the track. The other is the Paddock Grandstands which offers customers a view from the start/finish line and a close-in look behind the scenes of the pit lane. Food and beverages within the two grandstands are included.

Both packages come with a three-night stay at a participating MGM Resorts property. The options here include Bellagio, Aria, Vdara, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Delano, Park MGM, New York-New York, Luxor, and Excalibur.

The 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix will be an official round of the 2023 Formula One World Championship. The 50-lap race has a total length of 190 miles and will take place on a temporary 3.8-mile street circuit which will include the Las Vegas Strip.

Tickets for the race went on sale last week with prices ranging from $500 for a standing-room-only three-day pass to $10,000 for a Skybox Hospitality seat near the paddock. According to a report from casino.org, MGM Resorts “scooped up $20 million to $25 million worth of tickets, with plans to bundle hotel/race packages. Nothing official about that matter, however, has been announced.
