The Las Vegas Grand Prix is rapidly approaching, and the organizers are preparing for the November Formula 1 spectacle.
MGM Resorts International on Thursday announced the return of the previously sold-out Bellagio Fountain Club, which is considered to be the premier race-watching and dining destination throughout the Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix.
“We created Bellagio Fountain Club to deliver an unforgettable racewatching environment that could only exist in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip,” Ryan Abboushi, MGM Resorts’ President of Entertainment, said. “Along with the best views of the race, the first-class hospitality suite welcomes cuisine from a talented lineup of globally celebrated chefs, unique wine and cocktail offerings, exceptional service, and picturesque views of Bellagio’s Fountains. Three consecutive sellouts underscore the demand for this incredible location, and each year we continue to raise the bar to deliver an extraordinary guest and fan experience.”
The Bellagio Fountain Club offers race fans a once-in-a-lifetime experience for one of Formula 1’s most-anticipated events. Just above the famed Fountains of Bellagio, one can watch the race with a front-row view of the long straightaway, while delving into signature dishes from top chefs. The three-night tickets start at $8,400, and they include unlimited premium food and beverage, access to front-row seats, private indoor and rooftop hospitality decks, racing simulators, and special appearances from popular Las Vegas entertainers.
The 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix
The 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix is shaping up to once again be one of the most unique spectacles in all of sports. From Nov. 19 to 21, Formula 1 will take over the Las Vegas Strip at the 3.8-mile circuit.
In addition to the Bellagio Fountain Club, general admission tickets just went on sale, as well. The race is expected to be a sell-out just like previous years. Last year, approximately 300,000 fans were in attendance across the three-day weekend, showing the power of Formula 1’s third grand prix in America.
While the American events have been popular, Formula 1 is now broadcast on the subscription service Apple TV, which could potentially lower crowd sizes for the three races.
Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad just competed in his first race in America.
“This is something I’ve been working towards and dreaming of my whole life,” Lindblad said before the Miami Grand Prix. “Even when I just say I’m a Formula 1 driver, it’s pretty cool. I still have to pinch myself sometimes.”
2026 appears to be the year of Mercedes’ return to the top. Kimi Antonelli is on top of the driver standings with three wins, while teammate George Russell is a close second with 80 points. Ferrari, meanwhile, have stepped up its race pace. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton are both in the top five in the standings, while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is seventh in the standings.
Antonelli, a sophomore racer from Italy, did not win in his rookie year. However, his three podium finishes showed that he has what it takes to compete at the top. If he keeps up the pace, he could be Mercedes’ first Formula 1 champion since Hamilton’s 2020 triumph.
