In Las Vegas, spectacle is a sport. And during Formula 1 race week, no one is playing the game bigger—or smarter—than Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The Strip’s newest crown jewel has engineered a full-throttle takeover that fuses luxury, nightlife, and trackside adrenaline into the city’s most coveted F1 experience.

The Destination

With 3,644 rooms and suites, Fontainebleau is a fortress of indulgence perched at the north end of the Strip—close enough to feel the pulse of the circuit, yet removed enough to avoid the gridlock. Guests glide in with complimentary valet validation for dining, shopping, or spa experiences, making it one of the easiest luxury resorts to access during what will be one of the busiest weekends in the city’s history.

When the engines cool, Fontainebleau heats up. At LIV Las Vegas, the resort’s show-stopping nightlife brand imported from Miami, the lineup is stacked with race-week heavyweights:

Dom Dolla

John Summit

David Guetta

Tiësto

It’s a roster that reads like a championship grid, designed to keep the adrenaline going long after the checkered flag falls. Meanwhile, at the BleauLive Theater, none other than Pitbull will perform two high-octane shows on November 21 and 22, bringing his global anthems to Fontainebleau’s state-of-the-art stage.

The Trackside Power Play: Papi Steak Garage

Fontainebleau is teaming up once again with David Grutman’s Groot Hospitality and David “Papi” Einhorn, the resort is bringing Papi Steak to the F1 paddock. The Papi Steak Garage is one of the most exclusive experiences of the weekend, combining gourmet dining with all-access F1 credentials:

• A Paddock Pass with pit lane walks, track tours, and photo safaris
• Access to the Paddock Club™ rooftop with prime race views
• Podium celebration entry alongside winning drivers and teams
• A three-day culinary takeover with Papi Steak’s famed Miami-meets-Vegas menu

But Fontainebleau adds a twist only it can pull off: ticketholders also gain entry to The Poodle Room, the resort’s members-only club on the top floor. Usually invitation-only, this jewel box in the sky transforms into an F1 clubhouse for the weekend, with panoramic views stretching from the Strip to Red Rock, curated programming, and the kind of social scene that defines race-week bragging rights.

This all comes as Fontainebleau celebrates being named the only gaming resort in Nevada recognized with One-Key status in the 2025 Michelin Guide Hotels. For a property that only opened in late 2023, it’s a meteoric rise—and proof that Fontainebleau is setting a new standard for Strip luxury.

The Verdict

During F1, plenty of hotels will offer rooms, parties, or packages. But Fontainebleau Las Vegas is offering a lifestyle: the ease of its Riviera-inspired resort, the thrill of the Papi Steak Garage, the electricity of LIV’s DJ lineup, and the exclusivity of The Poodle Room. On a weekend where everyone is chasing speed, Fontainebleau has already taken pole position.
