By Kitty Bean Yancey | September 25, 2025
Feel the rush during Las Vegas’ most pulse-pounding weekend as 20 of the world’s fastest cars — including our longstanding partners, McLaren F1 Team — roar down the neon-lit Las Vegas Strip during the Formula 1® Las Vegas Grand Prix. From exclusive amenities to prime locations, discover the best Las Vegas hotels and resorts that will have you feeling like a VIP.
Location is key
Las Vegas caters to every desire. And so does Resorts World Las Vegas, home to three hotels perfectly located near the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, where the races take place. Stay at family-friendly Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World, get your motor running in mid-century modern accommodations at Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World, or indulge in an ultra-luxe, intimate oasis at Crockfords Las Vegas, LXR Hotels & Resorts. Between races, splash in one of the Strip’s largest pool complexes, party with top DJs at Zouk Nightclub, or try your luck in the next-gen mega casino featuring cashless gaming. Finally, indulge in some retail therapy at The District at Resorts Worlds Las Vegas, an extensive collection of internationally known brands. For those seeking an equally convenient location, legendary hospitality, and sophistication at every turn, look no further than Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas. Proudly named the No.1 Hotel in Las Vegas for 2025 by Travel + Leisure, the hotel’s unparalleled concierge team will help you make the most of your Las Vegas race weekend as you enjoy the comfort of the elegant, rooms and suites.

Dine and unwind
Las Vegas has morphed into one of the world’s greatest dining destinations. At Resorts World, you can eat your way around the globe at more than 50 food and beverage outlets, from house-made pasta at Brezza to international street eats stalls. Steak and prime rib dinners are a signature Vegas attraction, so be sure to cut into melt-in-your mouth Japanese Wagyu or a 50-ounce tomahawk at Resort World’s elegant Carversteak. Those who don’t eat meat will find stuffed zucchini blossoms and a rich fettuccine and truffles dish on the plant-based menu at Crossroads Kitchen. Cap off the day with a bird’s-eye view of the Strip while sipping a cookie butter espresso martini at Allē Lounge on 66. For more post-race relaxation, unwind with a heated aromatherapy session led by a “sauna meister” in the sumptuous Awana Spa. At Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas, drinks and dining are an elegant affair, with high tea at Peacock Alley and craft cocktails at Hard Shake ready to elevate every celebration. Fresh sushi and Japanese fare add a twist to classic American favorites at Zen Kitchen. Balance the action-packed weekend with calming treatments at the award-winning Waldorf Astoria Spa, or by relaxing in a cabana on the eighth-floor pool deck.
