The race will be run under the lights of this spectacular venue – and uniquely, the Grand Prix itself will be run on the Saturday night, rather than the traditional Sunday.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is among those who can't wait to get racing around this all-new circuit.
"I think there’s something else about Vegas,” Hamilton said when he visited the city for a demonstration run in November.
“I think there’s an unbelievable amount of energy in one little space, so the weekend when we have the race here… I don’t even know how we’re going to be moving! It will be the busiest time, I would imagine, in Vegas – the race will be incredible.”
