Las Vegas hoping F1 grand prix will give city boost over falling tourist numbers
The upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix is seen as a potential boost for the city amid falling tourism numbers.
Around 100,000 fans are expected at the 2025 event on the Las Vegas Strip, showcasing a glamorous race with exuberantly lit tracks and celebrity presence.
F1’s chief commercial officer Emily Prazer believes the event will positively impact the city’s tourism, despite road closures and disruptions to businesses.
Las Vegas has been facing a decline in tourism due to factors like Trump’s policies and high costs, making it less attractive for visitors.
Expert Marta Soligo suggests that while the Grand Prix might not completely reverse the trend, domestic travel could increase during times of global crisis, highlighting the complex challenges faced by the tourism industry.
