F1 stays in Las Vegas through 2037, locking in a November rush for event workers
The 10-year deal covers 2028–2037 and carries $100 million from the LVCVA. Most race-week work is food and beverage, guest services and ticketing, not marshalling.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix opens in 10 days, and Formula 1 has already locked in the next decade. A 10-year extension announced June 4 keeps the Strip race on the calendar through 2037, and Las Vegas tourism officials have put up $100 million to help pay for it.
For event workers, agencies and buyers, that turns a three-year run into a planning cycle: a Strip-wide rush on fixed November dates. Race weekend is Nov. 19–21, with the race itself at 8 p.m. local time on Saturday, Nov. 21. The main hiring rounds for it opened months ago.
What the 10-year extension changes
Formula 1 and local officials announced the deal on June 4, Autosport reported. On July 14 the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) board voted unanimously to commit $10 million a year for the 2028 through 2037 races, or $100 million in all, according to Fox5 Vegas. The current agreement, extended in August 2025 with a $20 million sponsorship, covers the 2027 race.
Backers point to the numbers. A study done with race officials put the 2024 race at $934 million, with 306,000 attendees, 175,000 of them from out of town, and hotels 87% full. The LVCVA now says the 2024 and 2025 races each topped $900 million, and Autosport reported the 2025 race produced $43 million in state and local taxes. No 2025 attendance figure has been published, so the 2024 study remains the latest detail. These figures come from race officials and the LVCVA, which also funds the race, not from an independent audit.
Who does the work, and who hires them
Marshals get the attention, but they are a small part of the workforce. KSNV reported that the race recruited about 600 marshals this year, with applications closing June 1. The locals' program includes pre-race training and certification through U.S. Race Management, and marshals must work the full weekend. More than 3,000 people applied last year, and 580 volunteers were picked.
The paid work sits elsewhere. The organizers have said they recruit for thousands of paid temporary positions, and hiring is split by channel, as the table shows.
| Role | Where it is posted | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Race marshals | Applications through the organizers; closed June 1 | Trained and certified in a locals' program; full weekend required |
| Guest services | Rosterfy | F1 Ambassadors, Ambassador Leads who each run a team of 10, and grandstand ushers |
| Food and beverage | Event Aces; Oak View Group on iCIMS | Bartenders, barbacks, cashiers and catering |
| Ticketing | The race organizers' LinkedIn page | Ticketing roles |
KTNV reported that local residents and people with guest-services experience were preferred. Oak View Group, which posts seasonal food and beverage jobs, had a bartender listing dated Sept. 28.
When the hiring windows open
What it means for workers and agencies
Our read, not a published forecast: with the main rounds closed or well along, workers looking for race-week shifts should expect backfill. Check the organizers' get-involved page for late openings, and browse Las Vegas shifts on the Jobs board.
The better bet is next year. Dates are now known through 2037, so a worker can build a repeat November line on a résumé, and an agency can plan its Las Vegas bench a year ahead instead of reacting to each extension. The 2027 race is already on our events calendar. For how stadium and arena hiring works in general, see our guide to arena, stadium and convention center jobs.
Buyers booking Strip events near race week should confirm headcount and rates early. The race draws on the same pool of bartenders, ushers and guest-service staff, though no official figure says how much.
