Tickets for the 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix have gone on sale, and the price spread between the cheapest and most expensive options is one of the widest on the F1 calendar — from a 0 standing pass that sold out within 24 hours, to a 9,000-per-person trackside garage suite that includes free run of the paddock.
In a detailed price walkthrough recorded on May 8, F1 broadcaster and paddock photographer Kym Illman ran through every ticket tier on offer, with prices already including taxes and fees. He also flagged a noticeable improvement in scheduling.
"It’s a night race, and from the first year when the race started at 10pm, and then last year to 8pm, and this year again 8pm, much more palatable time to be starting an F1 race," Illman said. "But a reminder, you will need a jacket. It’s always cold. It is late in the year, and it does get cold in the desert."
At the very top of the pyramid sits the Gordon Ramsay Garage suite, first introduced in 2022 and a fixture for celebrities and "Uber wealthy" super-fans according to Illman.
"9,000 US per person. For that, you’ll eat and drink like a king or a queen. You’ll be alongside one of the teams in pit lane with cars screaming past on all three track days," Illman said. "Plus, you’ll have free run of the paddock, not on a guided tour. You can just wander around at your leisure and make your way back to the suite to make new friends. It’s very much a sanctuary for super fans, and you’ll almost certainly meet Gordon Ramsay himself."
At the opposite end, the entry-level 0 ticket has already vanished.
"That’ll be a general admission ticket in the Flamingo zone, and they start at just 0 for the first day, being FP1 and FP2," Illman said. "Yes, it’s a standing-only pass and there are no concert venues like at the other general admission area. But they sold out in a day. So if you are looking for that ticket, forget it."
The cheapest ticket still available is a three-day general admission pass to the T-Mobile zone at 9, which Illman recommended for fans who want to access the on-site concert stage and move between sides of the track via the dedicated bridge.
For grandstand fans, the most flexible option is the so-called Trio ticket, which moves the holder to a different grandstand on each of the three days.
"It ranges from ,100 to ,500," Illman said. "Depending on which stand you end up in for the final day, the race day, that is the most expensive day, that will determine the cost."
Hospitality packages start with the off-circuit Club Paris at ,500, then climb steeply: Hilton GV Club at ,700, a turn-three package at ,500 and a start-finish skybox at ,300. Above that, ,400 buys access to the Bellagio Fountain Club — although Illman warned the package excludes the post-race podium because the top three drivers are now driven to the Bellagio stage for the traditional interview, leaving Bellagio Fountain Club guests on the wrong side of the trophy ceremony.
The two highest non-suite packages are the Paddock Club rooftop at 1,000 and the Wynn Grid Club at 6,000, the latter offering views over turns one and two from the top of the paddock building.
Illman also warned fans about the secondary cost of the trip — the hotels.
"I asked Hotels.com to spit out the prices for a five-night stay, in on the Wednesday and out on the Monday," he said. The cheapest option, the B Posh Hotel, was 19 for the five nights including taxes and fees, but well off the Strip and with a shared room. On the Strip itself, Treasure Island starts at 41 for the five nights, with Caesars Palace running from ,800. The Hilton Grand Vacation Hotel — which is actually on the circuit — starts at ,228.
His verdict on whether the package is good value was unusually direct.
"Tickets are a little bit on the high side, yeah, look, it’s above the average," Illman said. "But bear in mind you probably won’t need a car, so that’s good value, you’ll save on rental and also parking. And the other thing is hotel prices I think are pretty reasonable to be that close to the track. You try finding anything that close to the track at Spa and you’ll be paying about six times the price."
The Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled for the back end of the 2026 calendar in November.
