Formula One cars will race under the lights down the Las Vegas strip in 2023 as part of a new event on the championship calendar, joining Austin and Miami as U.S. host venues.
Las Vegas will host an event on a Saturday night in November, a rare occurrence in an F1 calendar.
The race will feature some of the city's most famous landmarks, hotels and casinos.
The 3.8 mile circuit will see cars flash by Caesars Palace, Bellagio Fountain and Mandalay Bay, as well as the ball-shaped MSG Sphere, which is currently under construction and set for completion next year.
The date of the first event is not known.
American interest in F1 is booming like never before and has led to a surge in interest in hosting races.
The first Miami Grand Prix takes place May 8. The U.S. Grand Prix was held at the Circuit of the Americas from 2012 to 2020.
This is an incredible moment for Formula One that demonstrates the huge appeal and growth of our sport with a third race in the US.
Las Vegas is known around the world for its excitement, thrills, and of course, the famous Strip. There is no better place for Formula 1 to race than in the global entertainment capital of the world and we can't wait to be there next year.
The U.S. Grand Prix will be held at the Circuit of the Americas in October. COTA is the only US race on the F1 schedule.
