As F1 embarked on its ambitious plan to return to Las Vegas after almost 40 years away (and insisted on having the Strip as part of its 3.8-mile track layout), it needed a plan to keep it open as long as possible before preparing it for F1 action each night.

Formula 1 has taken over Las Vegas for the second straight year as the 22nd round of its world championship will be staged on and around the iconic strip.

The F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix returns for its second year, bringing even more thrilling racing and entertainment to the iconic Las Vegas Strip with a packed schedule of non-stop action.
