Every year the price has been less than the last one. This year I paid like $1600 for a 3 day pass at The Sphere zone. It was 1900 last year and 2200 the first year. This year food is not "free all you can eat.", which I think will improve the experience. So they are learning each year how to improve and adjusting pricing.

 

Would be difficult to do now. Only a very few slot machines downtown still take coins. mainly for the novelty. Today you would have to put in $1.00, pull he handle one time, then cash out getting your paper voucher. Next take the paper to the cashier and get your seventy five cents.

I haven't gambled in well over 30 years. I can't remember the last time but it might be in the 90's.

 

Maybe. But the first year there was a lot of excitement. And I think some of it was driven by what the Resorts were seeing and they tried to suck as much money up to pay for what must be one of the most expensive races to run a year. I was told as soon as last year's race was over that prices for this year would be significantly less, particularly at the low end. And they have been following through on that. It is a unique race at a unique place with unique weekend experiences beyond just the track events themselves.

I think the big issue is, is it a worthy venue. And the answer is without question "yes" despite what everyone said when they saw the track layout. The racing in both years was really exciting, there were a lot of passes, the event and venue itself is well run and organized aside from the very first time the cars hit the track and that night was cancelled. And people seem to enjoy being close to the track and the activities before and after the race. I particularly like the Sphere zone because it has a lot of interesting concerts and performances going on between track times, which have been really well done.

The people most upset are people who don't come. Everyone I've talked to who has come has very much enjoyed the experience they had. Well, except for Max Verstappen, who is an ass.

 

First construction of the LVGP. This is the bridge that goes across Harmon Ave. Its being assembled in the parking lot of the Grandstands and they will start to put it up across Harmon in a week.

F1 Arcade Las Vegas at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is set to open to guests next month.

The 21,000-square-foot space, scheduled to open on Oct. 17, will be the largest F1 Arcade in the U.S., boasting 87 full-motion racing simulators, food and beverage options and a rooftop terrace with Strip views.

Simulators can be used for a variety of experiences including head-to-head or team racing.

The space will also feature multiple reaction-based games, similar to the Batak style training used F1 drivers.

F1 Arcade features food menu with a large selection of dishes including seafood towers and wagyu beef sliders. The space’s beverage program will feature signature cocktails concocted by LP O’Brien, the winner of the first season of the Netflix series “Drink Masters.”

F1 Arcade will also host watch parties for grand prix races from around the world, with the action streamed live on the large televisions around the facility, with unlimited sim racing before races begin and competitions for prizes, and a DJ will play tunes after each race.

Details on watch Party tickets will be announced in the fall.

“There’s no better place to open F1 Arcade than right here in Las Vegas at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect,” Adam Breeden, founder and CEO of F1 Arcade, said in a statement. “With all the racing buzz hitting the city this fall, we’re giving everyone a chance to feel that adrenaline for themselves. Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a first-timer, or just here to eat, drink and soak up the elevated vibe, it’s going to be a hell of a ride.”

The Las Vegas arcade opening comes on the heels of openings in Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Denver. F1 Arcade plans to open 30 new venues within five years.

F1 Arcade Las Vegas will be open from noon to midnight Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-1 a.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m.-midnight Sunday. Guests of all ages are welcome until 7 p.m., with those looking to use the simulators must be at least 7 years old. After 7 p.m. guests 21 and older with a valid I.D. will be allowed in, and children under 14 years old must be supervised by an adult at all times.

The space is already accepting reservations for simulator racing, with pricing starting at $26 per driver. Admission to F1 watch parties starts at $59 per person.
