Las Vegas hotspots are raising concerns over Formula One’s demands for exorbitant fees, which they claim may obstruct views of the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix. The racing league has requested that venues along the circuit pay $1,500 per seat for licensing rights, potentially amounting to millions of dollars for larger establishments. If venues refuse to comply, F1 threatens to obstruct views with barricades, stands, and light stanchions. This move has drawn criticism, with one casino owner stating it is absurd to charge for a public event held on the streets. Sources also allege that F1 salespeople have gone as far as threatening to shine lights toward unlicensed venues to blind viewers. The requested fees could force venues to impose high cover charges, potentially deterring high-rolling customers. The pressure to generate revenue for the race may impact the willingness of hotels and sponsors to cooperate. While F1’s actions may not be illegal, they are seen as opportunistic. The Las Vegas Grand Prix and F1 have not responded to the concerns raised.
