Traditionally, November was a relatively quiet month for the city of Las Vegas – but that all changed in 2023!

After a lower-key return in 2024, Las Vegas Grand Prix organisers have promised another showstopping race weekend in 2025.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the biggest and best events happening during Las Vegas Grand Prix week.

The huge domed arena is fully immersive, with huge LED video walls – the largest anywhere in the world – stretching the full height of the dome.
The venue opened around one month before the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix and the public can experience the venue in The Sphere Experience.
