As an avid F1 fan gearing up to attend my first race someday, I’m already buzzing with excitement—and Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas just took that excitement to another level. With the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix® set to return in November 2024, Palms has unveiled an array of exclusive experiences and packages that’ll make the race weekend an unforgettable adventure for any fan. Even if you don’t have plans yet (like me), this might just be the nudge you need to start planning!
Guenther Steiner Takes Center Stage
One of the weekend’s biggest highlights has to be “In the Driver’s Seat”—an intimate Q&A session with Guenther Steiner, the former HAAS racing team manager and F1 icon. Whether you’re a longtime F1 fan or newer to the sport, this is a must-attend event. Guenther’s behind-the-scenes insights from the high-octane world of F1, mixed with his colorful personality, promise to offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Even better? The event, happening on Saturday, November 23 at Palms’ iconic Ghostbar, is free and open to the public! If you’re already thinking about where to grab your spot (like me), all you have to do is head over to Palms’ site and reserve.
Ultimate Formula 1 Weekend Packages
In true Las Vegas style, Palms is also rolling out the red carpet with exclusive hotel packages tailored for race weekend from November 21-24. Whether you’re looking for a luxury splurge or something more modest, Palms has a package for every type of race fan. Want to go all out? The $85,000 Above the Race Experience gives you access to the Empathy Suite, one of the world’s most extravagant accommodations. For a more approachable option, the Formula for Winning package starts at $5,500 and still promises VIP access and luxury accommodations that’ll have you living your F1 dream in style.
As an F1 fan, this is more than just watching the race—it’s about immersing yourself in the experience. The Palms knows how to pair world-class racing with their signature Las Vegas flair. Imagine starting your day with trackside views, then heading back to relax in a private suite overlooking the Strip, before catching Guenther Steiner spilling F1 secrets in the afternoon. Sign me up!
Casino Perks for Race Fans
Beyond the exclusive packages and events, Palms Casino Resort is also offering exciting promotions for their Club Serrano Members. If you’re into gaming (which, let’s face it, is part of the Vegas experience), you can earn entries into their $350,000 Above Race Drawings—with the chance to win Free Slot Play, two tickets to the ultimate race experience, and, for one lucky fan, a luxury watch. The gaming scene combined with all things F1 sounds like a perfect way to amp up the weekend even more.
A Weekend of Luxury and Thrills
Whether it’s the excitement of seeing F1 cars zoom down the Las Vegas Strip or the luxurious VIP experiences that Palms Casino Resort is famous for, there’s no better way to take in the race than with a mix of adrenaline-pumping action and top-tier hospitality. As Stephen Thayer, the general manager of Palms, said, “With this exclusive event with Guenther and premier hotel packages, our guests will enjoy not only world-class racing but also unparalleled luxury and hospitality, making it a weekend they won’t forget.” And honestly, I couldn’t agree more.
I’ve always dreamed of attending an F1 race, and it looks like Palms is creating an opportunity that blends the thrill of Formula 1 with everything Las Vegas has to offer—luxury, entertainment, and a bit of that famous Vegas luck. If you’re an F1 enthusiast like me or just love high-octane weekends, this is definitely one event you won’t want to miss!
