The Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix didn’t draw as many people to Las Vegas as the initial run in 2023, but Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President and CEO Steve Hill still considered it to be a successful event.

In an interview following Tuesday’s LVCVA board meeting, Hill said the event’s planners would meet in future months to make plans to make next year’s event better.

While economic impact studies haven’t been completed, Hill said it’s clear that the event continues to put Las Vegas in the international spotlight, which bodes well for future visitation.

“There are no economic impact numbers out yet,” Hill said.
