Grandstand seats on the center Las Vegas Strip quickly sold out for the inaugural Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix taking place November 16-18, 2023. But MGM Resorts and the five-star Bellagio Resort and Casino is perfectly positioned to offer special access to unrivaled track and fountain views in the exclusive Bellagio Fountain Club. Worth their weight in gold, the $11,247 tickets include meet and greets with F1 ambassadors, access to the Club’s private indoor and rooftop hospitality decks, and unlimited food and beverage by celebrated chefs including Mario Carbone, David Chang, Michael Mina, Masaharu Morimoto, Bryan & Michael Voltaggio, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Perched above the Las Vegas Strip Circuit on an elevated spot on Bellagio’s signature lake, the Bellagio Fountain Club offers prime viewing of the race where drivers will reach top speeds of 210 mph as they race around Sin City’s most iconic landmarks, resorts and casinos on legendary Las Vegas Boulevard. Opening nightly November 16-18, the Fountain Club’s star chefs and mixologists will introduce new menus daily. Ticket holders seeking thrills behind the wheel can compete on the Club’s F1 racing simulators. Club guests will also be transported from Bellagio to the Paddock, where they will have select access to a Paddock and Pit Lane Tour to witness teams preparing for the race.
“The Bellagio Fountain Club will marry the epic F1 experience with MGM Resorts’ unbelievable talents and iconic destinations, ultimately creating an exclusive and legendary race day experience right atop the resort’s Fountains,” said Steve Zanella, MGM Resorts’ Chief Commercial Officer. “This is just the beginning for F1 fans coming to Vegas. No one throws a party like our city, and we’re primed to make the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix the world’s most sought-after race experience.”
