The Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix is poised to be one of the most spectacular events on the global sporting calendar, transforming the iconic Las Vegas Strip into a high-octane circuit. But for American Express Card Members, the experience of “race weekend” extends far beyond the grandstands—it becomes an exclusive journey defined by unmatched access and immersive luxury.
As an Official Partner of Formula 1 and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, American Express is elevating the entire event, ensuring its members not only witness the action but are at the center of it.
Exclusive On-Track Access and Hospitality
American Express ensures its members can escape the crowds and enjoy the race in superior comfort and style:
The American Express Trackside Lounge: Located in a prime spot with an unobstructed view of a key corner (such as Turn 1), this exclusive space offers Platinum Card Members a reserved haven for trackside viewing. It’s the perfect place to recharge while enjoying an exclusive cocktail like the ‘P1 Spritz.’ Reservations are limited and are available on-site.
The Premium Events Collection™: For the most dedicated Platinum and Centurion Card Members, this three-day curated experience includes access to the Amex Paddock Club Suite, along with rare opportunities like Paddock Tours, Pit Lane Walks, Truck Tours, and even meet-and-greets with racing experts. This is as close as you can get to the inner circle of F1.
Amex Race Radios: Card Members can stay fully tuned into the live F1 commentary across the circuit with complimentary Race Radios. Platinum Card Members often benefit from priority pickup lanes at select kiosks.
Immersive Fan Experiences and Perks
Even outside of dedicated lounges, Amex makes the F1 Fan Zone experience smoother and more engaging:
Amex Fan Experience: This interactive, multi-story activation gives fans the chance to design a custom F1 livery, film their own driver introduction videos, and participate in engaging activities and giveaways.
Card Member Fast Lanes: Time is everything on race weekend. Card Members can skip the main line at select on-site stores and experiences in the F1 Fan Zone, maximizing their enjoyment.
Exclusive Merchandise: At the F1 HUB, Card Members gain access to a special space where they can purchase exclusive, limited-edition merchandise that is unavailable to the general public.
Beyond the Track: The Vegas Lifestyle Elevated
American Express knows that a trip to Las Vegas is about more than just the race. The brand has significantly expanded its footprint to ensure Card Members have unparalleled access to the city’s world-class dining and hospitality:
1850 by American Express®: This exclusive pop-up destination at a luxury resort (like the ARIA Resort & Casino) provides Platinum and Centurion Members with an elegant space to relax, recharge, and enjoy complimentary bites and specialty cocktails away from the Strip’s frantic energy.
Resy Dining Access: Leveraging their Global Dining Access program via Resy, eligible Card Members can secure exclusive tables and bespoke experiences at some of the city’s most in-demand restaurants, including COTE Vegas, Carbone, and The Mayfair Supper Club.
Hotel Benefits: Amex has expanded its Fine Hotels + Resorts® and The Hotel Collection properties in Las Vegas, offering Card Members premium benefits, upgrades, and valuable credits at properties like Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan, Wynn, and Encore.
From securing tickets before the general public to relaxing in a trackside lounge or snagging a last-minute reservation at a top restaurant, American Express is dedicated to making the Las Vegas Grand Prix experience truly seamless and spectacular for its Card Members. It’s an exclusive pass not just to a race, but to the best of what modern luxury travel and entertainment have to offer.
