Las Vegas Grand Prix organisers have teased fans ahead of the city's much-anticipated F1 debut - but a trip to 'Sin City' for the extravaganza won't come cheap.
Last November, the race was officially launched on the street circuit in Nevada, that will incorporate the famous strip where millions of pounds are thrown around in casinos. The weekend will take place from November 16-18, with fans from all around the world ready to empty their bank accounts to enjoy the unique occasion.
And bosses have this week released a series of images to heighten the frenzy. The pictures provide a stunning insight into the view from a specially built Grandstand, with spectators able to see the likes of Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton speed down the straight.
There are also snaps of how the circuit will look from afar, complete with the stunning lighting which signifies any night race - but perhaps most notably in Las Vegas.
Remarkably, according to the official event website, Paddock Zone tickets at £12,500 a go, which include five days of 'all-inclusive gourmet food and top-shelf beverages', have already sold out. Furthermore, fans will have to fork out a minimum of £420 just to be in attendance.

And that won't even get you a seat. The ticket will permit access for all three days - and get you all-inclusive deals on food and non-alcoholic beverages - but is sold as standing room only in the MSG Sphere Zone.

The tickets are set to go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 24, at which point the website itself is expected to go into overdrive. Demand has already been billed as huge for what will be one of three US based F1 events this year.

The event takes place from November 16-18 (@F1LasVegas)But there is also good news for fans who miss out this time around. F1 chiefs have already agreed a three-year contract which means the venue will stay on the calendar until at least 2025.
And last month, it was revealed that plans are in place to keep the race there for the next decade.
