Las Vegas touts $1.5B Formula One impact, but reality is complicated

At face value, it seems Formula One’s inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix last November was a resounding success.

F1 announced the race brought an economic impact of $1.5 billion to the city—which is 50% more than what Super Bowl LVIII generated three months later. The race also pulled in 1.3 million viewers, more than the average F1 race last season, despite the 1 a.m. ET start time and both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships already clinched.

On Monday, the league announced a deal with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority to “strengthen the relationship between F1 and Las Vegas” by the time the second iteration of the race comes around.
