Las Vegas, Nevada – The Las Vegas Grand Prix is back and the most expensive F1 race ever will be a little different this year, with cheaper tickets and more for fans to enjoy.
Last year's record high prices may have scared some fans away from attending, but this year the Las Vegas Grand Prix and hotels around the course have made adjustments in hopes of drawing even larger crowds.
“We've reduced our prices this year, which is really great. A three-day clubhouse ticket costs $3,500,” said Aaron Stewart, vice president of sports marketing for Hilton Grand Vacations. Ta.
