MGM Resorts International is set to construct grandstands on the Bellagio lake ahead of the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023. LV residents will be accustomed to the lake’s musical fountain shows, which will be on display during the races, performed across its eight-and-a-half-acre surface.
Access to what the operator describes as ‘epic’ seats is going to be made available exclusively via MGM’s ‘race-to-stay’ packages that contain a three-day race ticket. These packages also include unlimited in-track food and beverage concessions and three-night premium hotel accommodation at an MGM Las Vegas destination.
The three-day race ticket can be used for seats either at the Bellagio Grandstands or the Paddock Grandstands.
Either viewpoint has its advantages, with the Bellagio Grandstands standing adjacent to a musical fountain show, involving 1,200+ water nozzles and 4,790+ lights. Water jets shoot as high as 460 feet into the air during these city-wide famous shows.
Meanwhile, the Paddock Grandstands may be more appealing to gearheads, as it serves as a focal point on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit. It gives fans a better view of the start and finish line, plus ‘behind-the-scenes views’ of the pit lane and team garages.
The three-night hotel stay encompasses MGM Resorts properties including the Bellagio, ARIA, Vdara, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, New York-New York, Delano, Park MGM, Luxor and Excalibur.
MGM Resorts CCO Steve Zanella commented: “In just over a year, F1 fans from around the globe will see how Las Vegas throws a party. In addition to the Bellagio Grandstands, which will set new standards for event viewing, we will create a round-the-clock celebration worthy of this international spectacular."
The F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023 will take place from November 16-18 next year. Hotel prices are already soaring for those dates in Las Vegas.
