The Las Vegas Grand Prix received a two-year contract extension that keeps the race that runs down the iconic Strip on the calendar through 2027.

Las Vegas was added to the F1 schedule in 2023 on a three-year contract but with commitment from casino partners and a 10-year approval from Clark County for the race to take place along the Strip.

Las Vegas was on the 2026 calendar announced earlier this week even though the extension wasn't revealed until Saturday at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Emily Prazer, the president of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and chief commercial officer of F1, said the plans are to extend the race long into the future.

"We want to make sure that we're continuing to evolve what we're doing. But the intent is a much longer-term arrangement," Prazer said. "As we all know, the race has had its challenges, but we're coming out the other side. So we want to make sure that it continues to work for both sides."
