The Venetian Resort Las Vegas has cemented its position as a cornerstone of Formula 1 in the United States. The resort announced a five-year Founding Partner extension with the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix, locking in the agreement through 2030. BWT Alpine Formula One Team also returns to the resort as its official home base for a fourth consecutive year. The 2026 race weekend runs from November 19 to 21, with The Venetian sitting directly along the Las Vegas Strip Circuit near Turn 12.

The Venetian's F1 Fan Hub and Alpine Partnership

The Venetian's race-week programming focuses on fan access and team immersion. The official F1 Las Vegas Hub returns, offering exclusive BWT Alpine Formula One Team merchandise, limited collaborations, and interactive installations. The Alpine show car will be on display in the Grand Colonnade throughout race week.

The resort also provides direct access to the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere at The Venetian, making it the only property with that connection during the event.

A limited-edition Venetian Shoey, a nod to F1 celebration culture, launches exclusively at Yahoo Sportsbook and Close Company.

"Year after year, Las Vegas delivers such an exciting event, and a big part of what makes it special for our team is our partnership with The Venetian Resort Las Vegas," said Guy Martin, global marketing director of BWT Alpine Formula One Team. "The Venetian's hospitality is second to none, providing the perfect balance of excitement and focus to get ready to race on one of the most iconic street circuits in the world."

Velocity Club, Paddock Club Suites, and Celebrity Dining

At the premium end, The Venetian offers the invite-only Velocity Club, a trackside space above the outdoor canal with views of drivers exiting Turn 12. The nightly culinary program features Wolfgang Puck, Byron Lazaroff-Puck, Thomas Keller, Tetsuya Wakuda, Simon Kim, and José Andrés. VIP guests can also access The Venetian Resort Suite at the Paddock Club, with close-up views of the track, podium celebrations, and fireworks. Racetrack View Suites in The Palazzo Tower provide additional circuit sightlines as the track runs past Sphere and along the Strip.

Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., noted the resort's unique contribution: "The Venetian Resort has helped define what makes the Las Vegas Grand Prix unlike any other race."

F1 Las Vegas Hotel Packages and the T-Mobile Zone

For 2026, The Venetian again partners with Vibee, a Live Nation-founded destination experience company, on official T-Mobile Zone Ticket and Hotel Experience packages. Each package includes a three-night stay, a choice of three-day grandstand or general admission access in the T-Mobile Zone, early F1 Las Vegas Hub shopping, and entry to T-Mobile Stage Entertainment. Headliners have not yet been announced. The expanded F1 offering coincides with the resort's ongoing $1.5 billion reinvestment, which includes redesigned suites and a growing celebrity-driven dining portfolio.
