The Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix is fast approaching, and the city’s iconic style will be on full display with unique and entertaining events in high-speed action.
While the racers whiz by, a lineup of experiences will take place across the area that makes the Grand Prix weekend one not to miss. From the music-oriented Neon City Festival, to trackside food and beverage options of the highest quality presented by the Bellagio Fountain Club, and even activations for the thrilling adventure seeker with K1 Speed’s E-Go Karts, there are plenty of things to check out.
For the fashion-minded, there’s also the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Show Car and Memorabilia Display at The Cosmopolitan offering a rare chance to get up close with the team’s show car, race suits, and helmets customized by local Vegas artists—each piece a nod to the sleek style of racing culture. And don’t miss the Race Weekend Digital Experience in the Cosmopolitan’s lobby, which immerses fans in race-inspired artwork for a truly unforgettable Grand Prix atmosphere.
If you want to keep the vibes high, consider upgrading your wardrobe at the local thrift stores and sneaker shops. The thrill of finding a unique vintage piece is unlike any other. It’s a race to the racks to see what treasures have been laid out for the day. The Grand Prix is a perfect time to find a rare racing jacket or some timeless Levi’s denim. You can even customize a pair of sneakers with your favorite colors.
For a full Vegas experience, we recruited local photographer Greg Anderson to curate his favorite local spots. Buckle up for some of Vegas’ best-hidden gems.
