Per The Drive on Instagram, the cheapest tickets at the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be $500. These are standing room only tickets. In my experience with such tickets at Circuit of the Americas, you have to show up quite early to get a decent viewing spot. I can only assume it will be like this in Las Vegas. If you want an assigned seat in a grandstand, minimum cost is $2,000. For reference to the USGP in Austin: our Turn 9 grandstand seats at COTA cost around $400 and came with a fantastic vantage point. Of course, watching race cars blast down The Strip (at night!) may be worth the extra $$$ for a lot of people.
For fun I checked out race weekend hotel prices at Caesar's properties. Here's an example: Planet Hollywood rooms are starting at $1,229/night (which I hear isn't far off from some of the better Austin hotels during F1 weekend), but a suite which comes with a guarantee of a Strip view is currently going for $4,439/night. Planet Hollywood is at one of the turns, so the view should be great. Follow the link above to peruse more expensive hotel options.
American Express Card Members: early access tickets are on sale now
[Note: Amex for the win on this. Capital One just announced early access to Taylor Swift concert tickets, but I'm more of an auto racing fan. Ironically, the only time I've seen Taylor Swift live was at her COTA show after the USGP a few years ago.]
