I’ll be going to see the Las Vegas GP. I’ve never been to a Formula 1 race and don’t know what to expect from the days surrounding the race. Are there any tips you wish you knew before going the first time? I plan on going to the full race weekend and not sure what to bring to make my stay more comfortable. Also, any tips on stops I should make in that area of Vegas while I’m there?

My advice would be to avoid the Vegas shit show experience and go to an event with feeder series races.

Watching events in person is nothing like watching them from home. There is a lot of downtime when F1 is the only series racing. If the venue is interesting (imo Vegas isn't) then you can wander around and explore a bit but in a place like Vegas it's going to be a lot of sitting around, and they've already shown they don't care about the fan experience.

I'm sure there's fun to be had at any F1 event but Vegas wouldn't be my first choice, or even on the list.
