Formula One (F1) Las Vegas 2023 took a lot of construction and headaches to get to race weekend. After all was said and done, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the Las Vegas race in person. Check out my experience and some tips if you decide to come next year.

Great video, watched you two the day you walked on the strip and encounterd Jenson Button. im a big F1 fan and this is my first time i watched streames walkin outside of the track in the city, i always wanted to go to Vegas but its a huge trip from Amsterdam and kinda pricey too, you guys gave me a real nice view of Vegas and thank you for that! i feel kinda sorry for the locals. F1 in your city is 3x more expansice then any other city. also the Merch is 3x more expasive, i think the race in Vegas is not there for the locals but only for the ultra rich. i hope you two enjoyed this grand prix as much as i have from my home. it was the best event of the year thanks to the great view of vegas and the exciting race day its self, i hope you guys get to see a real race next time instead of a quaily, Qualy is nice but a race is even better. Wish you great luck with the channel and i keep a eye out on you two for next year in Vegas on the strip xD 🙏

Curious to see pricing for next year. I bet they will start lower. The late running times of Friday and and Thursday I expect to be earlier. I want that. Toto Wolfe team Principal for Mercedes asked for that. Ferrari team Principal asked that another race of other cars be added to the 3 days. So not just F1. Maybe F2 or f3. or a,sports car race. Maybe possibly Robby Gordon SST TRUCK race on the on the strip. KZfaq them. I expect 30% bigger attendance next year and bigger the next. Enjoy it before crowds are unbearable.
