Several resort operators are using prize incentive programs — including the chance to win luxury cars — to encourage their staff to work during this weekend’s Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Caesars Entertainment and The Venetian are offering large cash and comp prizes for workers who attend all their scheduled or on-call shifts during the race week, according to internal communications from the companies. The Venetian’s $250,000 “Race to the Finish giveaway” program includes cash prizes from $500 to $10,000 and a grand prize of a new Tesla Model 3 or $25,000 cash option.

To be eligible, hourly Venetian workers must work each and every scheduled or on-call shift between Sunday night and the night of Monday, Nov. 20.
