The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is looking to purchase $1.7 million in 2024 Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix tickets.

At Tuesday’s convention authority Board of Directors meeting the ticket buy is up for approval, which would be much less than the $7 million in tickets purchased with public money for last year’s race by the agency.

The tickets, like last year, would be given to the LVCVA’s largest customers and potential customers, aimed at promoting the area in hopes of attracting new events and trade shows to Southern Nevada.

Some of the $1.7 million in tickets could also be sold to resort and community partners, which the convention authority would be reimbursed for such transactions.
