Las Vegas May Run Out of Private Jet Parking for F1 Grand Prix

It’s not a problem that plagues Las Vegas during NASCAR weekends. In fact, it’s not a problem Las Vegas has faced before. But so many more private jets than average are expected to fly in for the inaugural Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend, scheduled for Nov. 16-18, that there may be nowhere to park them all.

Jeremy Aguiero, principal analyst with Applied Analysis, told KSNV-TV/Las Vegas that the appeal of the race — scheduled for Nov. 16-18, 2023 — will draw more extremely wealthy fans and their private planes to the Strip than it has ever seen before.

“You think I’m joking?” Aguero asked. “I think they’re going to be parking in like Phoenix, right. I think that’s what’s actually going to happen.”

Formula 1 fans are among the wealthiest sports fans in the world. They include Hollywood elites such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Matthew McConaughey, and corporate household names Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson.
