MGM Resorts International will launch a series of Formula 1-themed fan zones, hospitality events, fashion activations, and art programming across several of its Las Vegas properties during the Las Vegas Grand Prix from November 20–22, 2025.
Programming will span Bellagio, ARIA, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and New York-New York, with activities open to race attendees, MGM Rewards members, and the general public, depending on venue access.
“The Las Vegas Grand Prix captures the world’s attention, and no one brings it to life like MGM Resorts,” said Ryan Abboushi, MGM Resorts’ President of Entertainment. “With our properties only steps from the track, we’re creating an unmatched collection of food & beverage experiences, art, fashion, nightlife, and fan zones that only Las Vegas can deliver. This is where the energy of Formula 1 meets the spectacle of The Strip.”
Fan zones and racing action
Among the racing-related activations, ARIA will host a Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team experience beginning in early November. The lobby installation will include race simulators, team merchandise, and a show car display.
At The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, guests will be able to view an official MoneyGram Haas F1 Team race car and memorabilia and attend meet-and-greet sessions with Esteban Ocon, Ollie Bearman, and team principal Ayao Komatsu. That display will operate 24 hours from November 18–23.
New York-New York will feature the Atlassian Williams Racing Fan Zone on its Brooklyn Bridge area from November 17–22, with simulators, skill games, and appearances from team members available to the public.
Food and beverage
The hospitality program will also expand during race week. Bellagio will reopen the Shoey Bar from November 20–22 with limited-capacity offerings, including two Sparco shoe-inspired cocktail vessels and a helmet punchbowl cocktail limited to 30 units.
The activation will operate daily, first for MGM Rewards Gold+ members at 11 a.m. and then for the general public at noon. Bellagio will also host Cavallino inside Le Cirque from November 19–22, offering prix fixe and à la carte menus created in collaboration with chef Massimo Bottura and Ferrari. Dishes will be prepared by Cavallino chefs Riccardo Forapani and Virginia Cattaneo.
Additional culinary events at Michael Mina Bellagio include “The Guest List” with chef Brooke Williamson on November 20 with a $195 four-course collaboration menu, followed by a Quintessa Blending Class on November 22 led by wine expert Erin Draper for $250 per person. PRIME Steakhouse at Bellagio will host a Schrader Cellars tasting session on November 21 for $195 per guest.
Other offerings during the week include a one-hour Peking Duck prix fixe at Jasmine, lakeside champagne service with Moët & Chandon at La Terrasse de Champagne, a Veuve Clicquot event at Yellowtail Lounge, a paella cooking session with José Andrés at Jaleo at The Cosmopolitan, and a race-themed menu at The Cosmopolitan’s Wicked Spoon buffet from Nov. 17–23.
Fashion pop-ups
Fashion activations will also run throughout the race period. Ferrari will open a retail boutique inside Bellagio from October 15–December 31, featuring exclusive apparel. Bellagio will also present ANTI PROMO by Matt DiGiacomo and host a Marchesa trunk show from November 17–23 with an appearance by designer Georgina Chapman.
At The Cosmopolitan, Daniel Ricciardo’s Enchanté will reopen from November 14–22 with archived and new collections tied to the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Academy Programme. AllSaints will convert its boutique at The Cosmopolitan into an Atlassian Williams Racing pop-up on November 19 featuring simulators, team memorabilia and limited-edition apparel.
Art experiences
The Cosmopolitan will also host art-focused activations during the Grand Prix. Performance artists The Bumbys will offer what they describe as “Fair and Honest Appraisals of Your Appearance” on November 21–22. Live painting sessions by artist Armin Flossdorf will run from November 17–24.
The property’s lobby will be converted into a digital installation featuring Formula 1-themed visuals from November 18–23, and curated race helmets by Las Vegas artists will be displayed during the same period.
