Vegas GP Costs are Crazy (sh.itjust.works)

Was just looking at going to the Vegas GP, its only a 16hour drive for me.

2200$ standing tickets for Saturday wow just wow. That’s not travel, lodging, or food costs.

I checked for Sakura GP, we could fly to Tokyo, Hotel, and GP tickets. Plus stay for a week with $2k travel costs. Not including food and other fun expenses.

I’ll take my foreign vacation with a dash of F1 please. Also maybe they have a Yukon grandstand. Go Yuki!

I've been in 2016 for the GP and got tickets for this year too. Our tickets are fantastic seats, just down Turn 1/2 for the same price as COTA GA this year. Can't wait. It's a great country to tourist in, the track is fantastic.

We got pretty annoyed by COTA in 2021, it was better pre-covid (less people, less lines, way less expensive, and the shuttles were an absolute disaster) and went to Mexico last year. Great experience, similar door-to-door cost to sit in Foro Sol (stadium) Norte as GA in COTA (flight was more, tickets were a little more, but hotel and food were way cheaper). Highly recommend.

Vegas.... Same sentiments (and I have family there), you can do better for the same cost!

We have been wanting to go for the last few years. It’s in the cards but timing has been an issue. Glad to hear it was a good time. Watching the fans during the races makes it looks like Sakura would be a fun race to attend
