But, now that tickets have been sold, those packages have been sold, the city needs to fill the other half of the rooms,” Hill said inside the Las Vegas Convention Center on October 6.

“All of the hotel rooms were priced very high, anticipating that potentially those rooms would be filled by F1 customers. One of the largest drops is from Delano, just a few blocks from the southern portion of the circuit, which had a posted nightly rate roughly a quarter of the posted rate a year ago. Those hotels outside the circuit with a view of the track – like Bellagio, Vdara, and Caesars Palace – dropped significantly too. Planet Hollywood dropped nearly a grand from last year’s posted price. Looking at the cheapest rooms before fees and taxes, hotels inside the circuit – like Paris, Venetian, and LINQ – dropped $500 a night or more.

The $1,500 nightly hotel rates commonly seen during the late 2022 presale were not doable for her. 8 News Now met the breast cancer patient and F1 fanatic a year ago when she attempted to plan her dream wedding during the first Las Vegas Grand Prix this century. Racing fans, like UK Resident Louisa Coates, wish they would have known about that sooner. Now, officials say price reductions are a way to accommodate tourists not here for the race. That’s why several fans say they were discouraged from traveling to the race: the sticker price to afford at least three days of racing events. LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – As Formula One racers roll into town, so may potentially angry hotel guests upset that their rooms are now a fraction of the price they booked them for.
