The modern Las Vegas Street Circuit debuted in 2023, four decades after the Caesars Palace races. Its long, high-speed Strip section passes major casino landmarks; the first weekend required emergency track repairs after a loose water-valve cover damaged a car.
Despite the difficult practice opening, the 2023 Grand Prix became an entertaining race. Max Verstappen recovered from a penalty and damage to beat Charles Leclerc, who passed Sergio Pérez on the final lap for second.
Across 6.201 km, its 17 corners create a distinct rhythm between braking, precision and acceleration. As a street circuit, it asks drivers and teams to adapt setup, tyre management and race strategy to the venue's particular constraints, while its anti-clockwise direction shapes the sequence of its most demanding sectors.
