Las Vegas prepares for Formula 1
It is one of the most anticipated events on the Formula 1 2023 calendar: Las Vegas, the city of sin. Formula 1 will whiz through the Nevada night amid lights, casinos and a sea of glamor on November 18: it will be a Saturday evening, to further characterize a grand prix that currently has only a lot of hype and no history.

Work on the paddock
The official account of the Grand Prix shared some images on social networks relating to the progress of the works for what will be the circuit paddock.

Las Vegas, the circuit and the first problems
The one in Las Vegas will be a real street circuit, built – in part – on the legendary ‘Strip’, the city’s main street. The idea of a GP to be held in the capital of sin and gambling has been teasing the sport for years but it is only with Liberty Media and the explosion of Formula 1 in the Unites States market that the idea has become possible and feasible. Formula 1 itself will be the promoter of the event, and Liberty Media is already rubbing its hands in terms of revenue from the event, which promises to be the highest ever.

So everything is going great, then? Of course, there are several complications behind organizing such an event. As happened with Miami, residents in Las Vegas are also making themselves heard, this time due to the massive works required by the Grand Prix, from the paddock to the resurfacing of the roads, to the point that Clark County E District Commissioner Tick Segerblom admitted that “the first GP will be the hardest because we are learning how to do things, including paving the road. There are some people who get angry about what happens but once we get to work, we will make the best of it“.
