From A-list after-parties to heritage luxury moments and bold new brand launches, these were the events that defined the most electric weekend on the calendar.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Brings Back Its VIP Las Vegas Club

While the 2025 Formula One® Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix delivered its usual spectacle on the Strip, one of the most intriguing — and most discreet — spaces of the weekend belonged to the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team. Tucked into a prime trackside location, the team’s Las Vegas Club became a three-story sanctuary for those who prefer their race weekends with a side of luxury, privacy, and precision engineering — both mechanical and culinary.

Mercedes positioned the Las Vegas Club as an immersive hospitality experience, and they meant it. Guests moved across three thoughtfully designed levels, each offering a different vantage point of the race: sweeping trackside terraces, curated lounges, and intimate viewing areas engineered to feel like an extension of the team’s world. “Incredible trackside viewing” wasn’t marketing language — it was an understatement. The Club sat so close to the action that every overtake, every braking duel, every flash of carbon fiber felt immediate.

But Mercedes didn’t stop at sightlines. The experience layered in innovative cuisine, a culinary program that blended global flavors with the clean, modern aesthetic the team is known for. Elegant plates, sharp cocktails, and a rotating lineup of bites made the space feel less like a traditional paddock lounge and more like a members-only social club where the dress code happened to be adrenaline.

The Las Vegas Club also marked an important moment for the team. According to their official race communications, the 2025 Vegas Grand Prix carries special significance, with one of Mercedes’ drivers hitting a major career milestone — a symbolic reminder that even in a season of fierce competition, history is still being written.

The 2025 Formula One® Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix brought its usual adrenaline to the track — but some of the weekend’s most polished moments happened just off it, where Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky and the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team quietly hosted one of the more elegant, star-filled scenes on the Strip.

The two brands have been building momentum together since launching their multi-year partnership at the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Earlier this year, they introduced their first collaborative bottle — the Glenfiddich & Aston Martin Formula One™ Team Limited Edition 16-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky — a beautifully crafted expression available for a short time nationwide. The collaboration feels natural: both names are steeped in heritage, obsessed with design, and serious about craftsmanship, and you feel that alignment in the way they show up during race week.

Across Friday and Saturday, Glenfiddich and Aston Martin welcomed a curated mix of talent. Michelle Monaghan stopped by between projects; Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl brought their signature effortless elegance; Tyler Hoechlin and Ian Bohen — both connected by Teen Wolf in entirely different eras — dropped in alongside actress and custom-car builder Emelia Hartford. Each guest wandered through the paddock and hospitality suites, tasting the whisky, taking in the race atmosphere, and soaking up the energy that only F1 weekend in Vegas delivers.

Trackside, the brands continued the celebrations with a low-key but impeccably hosted VIP gathering. Tastemakers and creators including Tracy Sandleri, Maeta, Leo Chan, Johanna Rubio, Tyme, Valerie Nicole, Lauren Parry, Janna Canlas, Crystal Miller, Kelly Blanco, Olivia Ferney, Zack Bates, Jonathan Tso, Angelica Delgado, Angelina Flor, Andreina Santos, Swetta Kathuria, Damien Broderick, Chris Millington, Marcel Floruss, Heather Collins, and Alexia Umanski filtered through.

Cocktails and passed bites opened the evening on the outdoor patio, where TAG Heuer’s tablescape framed uninterrupted views of the Fountains of Bellagio. Dinner unfolded in classic Carbone fashion: Caesar Alla ZZ prepared tableside, the signature Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, and a finale of Stracciatella Tiramisu and Sicilian Lemon Cheesecake—each course as theatrical as the fountains beyond.

As anticipation for race weekend built, TAG Heuer unveiled the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Las Vegas on November 20th—a limited-edition Monaco infused with the electricity of Formula 1®. It’s bold, vibrant, and unmistakably nocturnal, channeling the adrenaline of racing after dark.

Actor, designer, and newly minted entrepreneur Damson Idris took over Delilah at Wynn Las Vegas to celebrate the launch of his fine jewelry house, DIDRIS, with an effortlessly chic gathering hosted in collaboration with Zero Bond. Fresh off major roles in F1: The Movie, FX’s Snowfall, and the highly anticipated Children of Blood and Bone, Idris marked this next chapter in his creative evolution with a night that felt both glamorous and deeply personal.

Delilah — already one of the most alluring rooms in Las Vegas — set the tone with warm lighting, live music, and a cocktail program curated with Zero Bond’s signature flair. As guests floated through the space, they were invited to preview and try on select pieces from the DIDRIS collection, experiencing firsthand the blend of craftsmanship, symbolism, and modernity that defines Idris’ design ethos.

The guest list reflected Idris’ world: a tight constellation of collaborators, visionaries, and longtime friends, including Jon Hamm, Daniel Kaluuya, Jerry Bruckheimer, Keegan-Michael Key, Joseph Kosinski, Steve Stoute, Miles Chamley-Watson, Jonathan Cheban, Y’lan Noel, Evan Ross, and Brooks Nader. What could have been a straightforward debut instead felt more like a shared moment—a celebration of craft, connection, and a new creative venture rooted in authenticity.

At the heart of the evening was DIDRIS itself. Founded by Idris and inspired by the legacy of his mother, Silifat Idris, the brand represents a convergence of heritage and contemporary design. Each piece is conceived as a story—an exploration of memory, identity, and the relationships that shape us. With two distinct lines, High Jewelry and Ready-to-Wear, DIDRIS introduces a vision that’s both refined and global, honoring traditional techniques while embracing a clean, modern silhouette.

Belvedere Vodka closed out Formula 1 weekend in unmistakable style, taking over Fontainebleau Las Vegas’ ultra-exclusive Poodle Room with House of 10 — the brand’s globally celebrated, next-gen nightlife experience making its U.S. debut.

On Saturday night, as the final engines cooled on the Strip and the adrenaline of the race turned into something softer, more decadent, Belvedere transformed the members-only club into a high-gloss after-hours sanctuary. Rita Ora, Anok Yai, Evan Mock, Miles Chamley-Watson, Tyriq Withers, and more slipped into the fête, joining an intimate crowd perched high above Las Vegas with panoramic views glittering back at them.

Inside, it was everything you want from a Formula 1 afterparty: martinis poured cold and exacting, caviar making the rounds like jewelry on a tray, bottle parades threading through the room in rhythmic waves. It was glamour in motion — the kind that only happens when a heritage vodka house, a new icon of the Strip, and the world’s most elite racing series collide in one night.

The celebration also marked another high point in Belvedere’s ongoing partnership with Formula 1 — the first Official Vodka of the sport — as House of 10 brought its signature energy to the U.S. for the very first time. Consider it a preview of where F1 nightlife is heading: elevated, international, and just a little bit wicked in the best way.

The After at Delilah

When the night’s race wrapped, the real victory lap unfolded at Delilah inside Wynn Las Vegas, where “The After” became the party of the weekend. Hosted by Wynn Las Vegas alongside nightlife heavyweights Scott Sartiano and Will Makris of BOND Hospitality, and John Terzian and Brian Toll of the h.wood Group, the soirée drew an A-list crowd and the kind of energy only Vegas during race week can deliver.

The highlight: a rare, intimate acoustic set from John Mayer, who moved through fan favorites like “Your Body Is a Wonderland” and “Love on the Weekend,” slipping in a dreamy take on Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’.” At one point, Mayer even shouted out Travis Scott—who was dancing, singing along, and undeniably part of the room’s inspiration—as he played to a packed, transfixed audience.

The night didn’t stop there. DJ Pee Wee (aka Anderson .Paak) took over with a vibrant DJ set that kept the room pulsing until the early hours, soundtracking a guest list that read like a cross-section of Hollywood, fashion, sports, and music royalty.

The crowd included Ali Larter, Machine Gun Kelly, Victoria Justice, Scott Eastwood, Orlando Bloom, Kevin Hart, Madelaine Petsch, Suni Lee, Paul Wesley, Jaleel White, Madison Pettis, Chantel Jeffries, Sofia Carson, Jesse Metcalfe, Sara Sampaio, Gracie Hunt, Daymond John, Michael Rubin, Jeff Hamilton, the Oppenheim brothers, Marshmello, Alesso, Victoria Monét, Tyga, Lala Anthony, Kayla Nicole, Cory Gamble, Ming Lee Simmons, Toni Breidinger, Frances Tiafoe, Leylah Fernandez, and so many others spanning entertainment, sports, business, and culture. Even Jake and Logan Paul, Flava Flav, Jordyn Woods, Jonathan Cheban, Landon Barker, and a slew of rising stars and elite athletes were in the mix — a testament to just how magnetic the night was.

“The After” wasn’t just an after-party. It was the after-party — Vegas at its most decadent, race weekend at its most electric, and a reminder that sometimes the best moments happen long after the checkered flag falls.
