The Las Vegas Grand Prix has entered into a partnership agreement with a casino that was formerly suing the Formula One event.

Ellis Island, located just next to Grand Prix Plaza on Koval Lane just north of Harmon Avenue, entered into a partnership with the grand prix to become an official venue of the race.

Ellis Island hosted a spectator zone for the inaugural 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, but then sued the race, arguing that the event impeded access to its property, since the circuit mainly runs on public roads, including Koval. Traffic in front of the property was impacted leading up to the race for set up, during the race when the street is closed with F1 cars are on the track and while tear down occurs, the suit claimed.
