Las Vegas properties around F1 circuit could have views obstructed unless fee is paid

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Jul 25 '23, 09:31

Channel 13 has obtained from a source and an F1 fact sheet, explaining what restaurants or bars with views of the race will have to do to become an official venue for the Las Vegas circuit.

It states a licensing fee will cost the maximum occupancy of the location times $1,500. It gives an example that a location with 30 people would face a licensing fee of $45,000.

For that buy-in, businesses will be able to use Las Vegas circuit marketing material and get support from F1. The fact sheet also states the Las Vegas Grand Prix will use reasonable efforts to maintain "sightedness" from the licensee's venue to the track. Meaning, they will work to keep the view of the race intact for their official venues

Responses:

I'm surprised they're allowed to do this, considering they're operating in public right of way? - Strongbad Jul 25, 10:29
Sources also claim that salespeople...have even threatened that lights will be shined toward the viewing areas of unlicensed venues, blinding guests - JD Jul 25, 10:17
I'm sure lots of restaurants and bars that hold 30 people max can afford that $45k -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 25, 09:43
