OMG! I can’t even tell you how excited I am for the upcoming Formula 1 race in Las Vegas. The logistics of putting the race on are only matched by the logistics of fans worldwide who will tune in to watch the race on a Saturday night (when typically races are held on Sundays during normal British views hours, since that’s where F1 originated from, but I digress). For me I’ll need to stay up late on Saturday night, November 18 to tune in at 1 AM (technically Sunday morning) to watch the race from the East Coast.
This will be the first time a Formula 1 race will be held in Las Vegas on the actual Strip. The race isn’t without controversy. The construction has been annoying to Las Vegas natives, and when tickets first went on sale they were selling for astronomical prices, but it seems prices are plunging with only a week to go before the event. Grandstand seats that were going for $1,645 have now dropped to $1,060, and when they first came out for sale were going for $2,000 a ticket to sit on metal grandstands, at night, in the cold desert air. Hard pass! I’ll stick to staying up late at night to watch the race on F1 TV.
