Exclusive Las Vegas Prizes Up for Grabs

Another enticing option is the F1 Exclusive Weekend. It includes grandstand tickets to the 2026 Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix and a guided paddock tour. Other notable prizes include the NASCAR Weekend, granting access to the South Point 400 with helicopter transfers, and the UFC Fight Week, featuring VIP tickets to a UFC event and exclusive behind-the-scenes access.
