, it may attract over ½ million people, and for those who have seen it, the Las Vegas Strip has been repurposed into a Formula I racetrack.

The start line is at the new Pit building, located on the corner of Harmon Avenue and Koval Lane. The track then stretches 3.8 miles through Koval Lane and Sands Avenue, to Las Vegas Boulevard and onto Harmon Avenue. It also will take place at night, so the Las Vegas neon-studded backdrop will be seen also, as the drivers will reach speeds of over 210mph (340kph) as they race around the Las Vegas Strip.

This event will mark the first time Formula One races in Las Vegas since the 1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix. It will be the third Grand Prix in the United States to take place on the 2023 calendar after the Miami and the United States Grands Prix, and will mark the first time since 1982 that there will be three races held in the United States in a Formula One season.
