Las Vegas – The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is gearing up for an elite 2026 race weekend, announcing today a five-year Founding Partner agreement with FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX through 2030, reaffirming its role at the center of one of the world’s most anticipated sporting events. In addition, the resort welcomes back BWT Alpine Formula One Team for the fourth consecutive year, serving as the team’s official home base.
Positioned at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit®, The Venetian Resort continues to set the standard for race-week experiences, seamlessly pairing luxury hospitality with front-row access to the action from November 19-21.
“What began as a bold vision, has grown into one of the most exciting partnerships in sports and hospitality,” said Marcy Miles, chief marketing officer for The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. “Our five-year founding partnership with Las Vegas Grand Prix and continued collaboration with BWT Alpine Formula One Team reinforce our commitment to delivering a world-class race-week experience. From exclusive programming to unparalleled vantage points on the circuit, The Venetian Resort remains the ultimate destination to experience Formula 1 in Las Vegas.”
Emily Prazer, president and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. adds, “The Venetian Resort has helped define what makes the Las Vegas Grand Prix unlike any other race. From its unique position at Turn 12 to high-end experiences and standout activations like the F1 Las Vegas Hub, The Venetian has been an exceptional partner in delivering a comprehensive race week experience. We are proud to extend our partnership for another five years as we continue to deliver an extraordinary experience on and off the track in one of the world’s most dynamic destinations.”
Throughout race weekend, The Venetian Resort delivers an immersive lineup of Formula 1 experiences that place fans at the center of the action. Guests can explore the official F1® Las Vegas Hub, featuring exclusive merchandise from BWT Alpine Formula One Team and other favorites to one‑of‑a‑kind collaborations, alongside interactive installations available only at The Venetian Resort.
The resort is also home to exclusive fan moments including the BWT Alpine Formula One Team show car on display in the iconic Grand Colonnade and direct, seamless access to the T‑Mobile Zone at Sphere at The Venetian, making it the only resort to offer connectivity to the landmark entertainment venue during race weekend.
“Year after year, Las Vegas delivers such an exciting event, and a big part of what makes it special for our team is our partnership with The Venetian Resort Las Vegas,” said Guy Martin, global marketing director of BWT Alpine Formula One Team. “The Venetian’s hospitality is second to none, providing the perfect balance of excitement and focus to get ready to race on one of the most iconic street circuits in the world.”
Signature activations elevate the excitement even further, from the debut of the limited‑edition Venetian Shoey, a playful nod to Formula 1 celebration culture, available exclusively at Yahoo Sportsbook and Close Company, to ultra‑premium hospitality offerings such as the trackside Velocity Club.
Perched above the famed outdoor canal, the invite-only Velocity Club offers an unrivaled vantage point of the drivers exiting Turn 12 and an atmosphere of pure exclusivity. Guests are immersed in a nightly culinary showcase curated by The Venetian Resort’s world-renowned dining portfolio with legendary culinarians, Wolfgang Puck, Byron Lazaroff-Puck, Thomas Keller, Tetsuya Wakuda, Simon Kim, and José Andrés, expected to appear and participate in the Velocity Club’s culinary program. The result is an extraordinary fusion of high-octane racing views and Michelin-level gastronomy, reserved for those with access to the very best. The resort’s VIP guests can also experience the race from The Venetian Resort Suite at the Paddock Club™, offering an intimate, high‑energy setting with up‑close views of the track, podium celebrations and fireworks.
For fans seeking spectacular race‑day views, Racetrack View Suites in The Palazzo Tower offer stunning vantage points as the circuit sweeps past Sphere at The Venetian and along the iconic Las Vegas Strip. For 2026, The Venetian Resort once again partners with Vibee, the music-led destination experience company founded by Live Nation, to deliver official T-Mobile Zone Ticket & Hotel Experience packages. Designed to immerse fans in the excitement of Formula 1, the packages include the choice of a three-day Grandstand ticket with assigned seating or general admission ticket in the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere at The Venetian, a three-night stay at The Venetian Resort, exclusive early shopping at the F1 Las Vegas Hub, and access to the T-Mobile Stage to enjoy A-list entertainment headliners (to be announced), along with a host of additional VIP perks.
Elevating the experience beyond the circuit, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas continues to redefine luxury hospitality as it completes its landmark $1.5 billion reinvestment. The transformation introduces all‑new redesigned suites, an expanded culinary portfolio featuring more celebrity‑driven dining concepts, and a growing lineup of celebrated entertainment, ensuring The Venetian remains not only one of the premier destinations to watch the race, but the definitive place to experience Las Vegas during Formula 1 weekend.
