VENUE GUIDE
Getting there
Las Vegas Strip Circuit, Las Vegas
By the F1 Weekend team · Sources: Formula 1 timetable (gate times estimated from it); GetYourGuide, Viator and Tiqets listings
Navigating the Las Vegas Strip Circuit requires strategic planning due to extensive road closures that transform the heart of the city into a high-speed track. For the most seamless experience, fans should prioritize the Las Vegas Monorail or walking, as vehicle access near the gates is heavily restricted during race sessions.
How to get there
Las Vegas Monorail
Highly RecommendedThe Monorail is the most reliable way to bypass gridlock, running 24/7 from Tuesday through Monday of race week. Key stops include Harrah’s/The LINQ for the Sphere Zone and Horseshoe/Paris for the Paddock Club, with trains arriving every few minutes.
Walking
Nearby Hotel GuestsIf staying on the Strip, walking is often the fastest way to reach your gate. Use elevated pedestrian bridges and the official F1 Las Vegas app's wayfinding map to navigate around track barriers and find the specific entry point for your ticketed zone.
Rideshare & Taxis
Off-Strip CommutersVehicles cannot drop off at circuit gates; instead, use designated zones like Virgin Hotels or the Howard Hughes Center. Expect significant surge pricing and long wait times, especially immediately following the final track sessions each night.
