If you’re heading to Las Vegas and love all things Formula 1, there’s one attraction that deserves a spot on your itinerary: F1 Arcade Las Vegas. Whether you’re in town for Vegas race weekend or just looking for a fun night out, this high-tech racing experience brings the thrill of the track to the heart of the Strip.
What Can I Expect at The F1 Arcade?
Located inside The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, F1 Arcade combines cutting-edge racing simulators with craft cocktails, elevated food and the electric energy of Formula 1. It’s the kind of place where seasoned racing fans can battle for bragging rights while beginners can jump behind the wheel without needing any real-life racing experience.
The venue features dozens of full-motion racing simulators inspired by actual Formula 1 circuits around the world. Players can compete against friends, race strangers or simply try to beat their own lap times.
Between races, guests can relax with signature cocktails, shareable bites and plenty of TVs showing live sports—including Formula 1 races, of course. I highly recommend the espresso martini. The presentation is worth the hype!
And PS, you absolutely do not need to know your DRS from your ERS to have fun here. The simulators have different skill levels, so beginners can jump in without getting completely destroyed by the person who owns a racing wheel at home.
Pro Tip: Reserve your simulator session in advance, especially on weekends and during major Formula 1 race weekends. Though there are 87 full-motion simulators at the Vegas location, the venue can fill up quickly.
One more note: Racers must be at least 7 years old. Under-21 guests are welcome before 9 p.m. After 9 p.m., the venue becomes strictly 21+. Children under 14 must be supervised by an adult.
How Much Does It Cost?
Pricing varies depending on the date and time, but the current Vegas packages include:
Fast Lane — $59/person
Three races + one beer, wine or bubbles + a shared plate or flatbread.
Podium Pursuit — $75/person
Five races + two drinks + a shared plate. This one is for groups of four or more.
VIP Lap — $200 for two people
A 90-minute experience with dining, drinks, bottomless shared plates and three head-to-head races per person.
So this isn’t exactly a cheap arcade afternoon. But, you’re also getting a restaurant, bar and full racing experience.
