The lights are up and the stage is set for the return of Formula 1 to Las Vegas.

This year’s Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix takes place on Saturday, November 23, though festivities kick off earlier in the week with a number of parties and activations throughout the Strip. Chief among them will be MGM Resorts’ Bellagio Fountain Club experience, which offers an exclusive viewing party next to the iconic fountains.

Popping up for the second year in a row, the Bellagio Fountain Club will offer unobstructed views of the F1 track, along with pop-up performances from Vegas entertainers, a premium open bar, and exclusive dishes from top chefs Mario Carbone, David Chang, Alain Ducasse, Masaharu Morimoto and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Mark Wahlberg will also make a special appearance, to promote his restaurant chains Wahlburgers and Flecha Cantina, with more celebrity guests to be announced later.

Other celebrity chefs include Wolfgang Puck; Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi; “Top Chef” champs Michael and Bryan Voltaggio; and James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-starred chef, Michael Mina, among others.

Guests can watch Saturday night’s race while they dine, or take to a dedicated viewing space, which will overlook a straight-away section of the Vegas street circuit track.

While food and beverage stations will sit throughout the venue, the top level of the Bellagio Fountain Club will turn into an all-night party with the Tao Group Hospitality Skydeck. The Skydeck will be open in the nights leading up to Saturday’s race, with DJs, live entertainment and VIP bottle service, all perched above the Las Vegas Strip.

Tickets for the Bellagio Fountain Club start at $12,500 and include a three-day pass for trackside race viewing (of the practices and main race), access to all indoor and rooftop hospitality areas, live entertainment, and food and beverage.

The Bellagio Fountain Club is just one of a number of MGM Resorts experiences during F1 Vegas weekend.

The Cosmopolitan is hosting an F1 watch party at their rooftop Boulevard Pool, where guests can take in the action from giant screens while hearing the roar of the race below. The Cosmo will also host a bar crawl-style “Cocktail Circuit,” with racing-themed drinks at Vesper Bar, Ghost Donkey, The Chandelier Bar and LPM. The hotel has appropriately dubbed this experience as “the most spirited lap in the city.”
