How much are Las Vegas Grand Prix tickets, and is it worth going?

From $81 for a Thursday practice day up to about $2,000 for three days in the main grandstand. The cheapest seat is the best value: Thursday practice puts the same cars past the same fence for a fraction of race-night prices.

The 2026 race weekend is November 19 to 21: practice Thursday, qualifying Friday at 8 p.m., the race Saturday at 8 p.m.

Prices as of September 2, 2026 (taxes and fees included)

• Thursday general admission in the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere: from $81
• West Harmon grandstand: $102 Thursday, $203 Friday, $809 Saturday
• Three-day tickets: $809 for general admission up to $2,051 for the main grandstand facing the pits
• Single-day hospitality: from $382 with food and drink; everywhere else, grandstand food is extra
• The $50 Flamingo Zone: sold out in August

Is it worth it?

If what you want is to stand a fence away from a Formula 1 car at full noise, a Thursday practice ticket does that for the price of a show. General admission anywhere on this circuit means watching most of the session on a screen while the cars pass as a streak of light.

The race is after dark and cold (open-air grandstands in late November), and the corners where positions change, on Koval Lane and around Sphere, are out of sight from the Boulevard. What people pay for is the 1.2-mile Strip straight past the Venetian and Bellagio at 215 mph, and the city dressed up for it.

Watching free and sleeping cheap

• Free viewing: not from the pedestrian bridges, which are screened off with a county ordinance against stopping on them, or from the fenced sidewalk. Hotel fan zones and Henderson's watch party were the free options last year.
• Hotels: a survey a week before the 2025 race put Strip hotels at $194 a night on average for race nights (Bellagio $588), with 43 under $100; the week after cost about a third. If you are not coming for the race, skip the week.
