It is understood the deal is for till the end of 2025, also it will be a street race incorporating the iconic Vegas Strip. F1 plans for a Saturday night race to be held next November, first time since 1985 South African Grand Prix that F1 has held a race on a Saturday, breaking with its traditional weekend format to secure a prime-time slot for the US audience (similar to boxing).

F1 previously held a race in Las Vegas in 1981 and 1982, constructing a temporary circuit around the parking lot of the Caesars Palace casino which was widely criticised and poorly attended by fans.
It will be the third Formula 1 event in the USA in a season, following on from the United States Grand Prix in Austin, which joined the calendar in 2012 and Miami from this season onwards.
