Ellis Island Casino Hotel announces deal for Las Vegas Formula 1 race21 August 2023(PRESS RELEASE) -- Ellis Island Casino Hotel & Brewery announces its partnership as an official venue of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit for the Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023. The local casino is thrilled to announce Turn 4 at Ellis Island Casino with viewing and hotel packages for the upcoming race. Positioned at Turn 4, Ellis Island Hotel & Casino is a prime location for staying, viewing and enjoying the festivities taking place 16, 17 and 18 November in Las Vegas. "We're not a mega resort on the Las Vegas Strip, but we have one of the best sightlines for the upcoming race," said Christina Ellis, vice president of development at Ellis Island Hotel & Casino. "As an official venue, we are excited to announce TURN 4 at Ellis Island Casino. We're looking forward to hosting unique viewing parties and offering hotel packages to locals and visitors, and most importantly, provide the hospitality and fun we've been known for over the last 55 years." Ellis Island Hotel & Casino is not only an official venue of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, but the award-winning destination is also the closest hotel-casino to the Las Vegas Grand Prix Paddock Building on Koval Lane and is positioned overlooking Turn 4 of the track. "One of the benefits of building a street circuit is that we can leverage existing venues along the track and partner to create fun, unique viewing options that live up to the quality and standards that our fans expect from an F1 race," said Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer for the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. "We are excited to have Ellis Island as an 'Official Venue of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit' and look forward to having them put their personal touch on the Las Vegas Grand Prix experience." TURN 4 at Ellis Island Casino's Race Weekend offerings include: - Grandstand viewing – Constructed in front of the hotel, this primary viewing area will allow for guests to enjoy the sights and sounds of Turn 4 and the Koval Straightaway. Tickets will include complimentary food supplied by Ellis' award-winning restaurants and soft drinks. Cash bars will be available throughout the viewing area as well as entertainment. - The Front Yard – The indoor-outdoor beer garden sits parallel to the racetrack on Koval Lane. Guests will enjoy food, beverages and entertainment. As a ticketholder in The Front Yard, guests will also have access to an observation deck erected adjacent to The Front Yard. Guests will have the ability to move back and forth between the indoor/outdoor beer garden and The Front Yard Platform.
Voted "Best of Las Vegas" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal year-after-year, family-owned Ellis Island Hotel & Casino offers guests a place to eat, drink, sing, sleep and play. With 24-hour dining, hot slots, an on-site sports book, and cold beers, its old-Vegas charm and off-Strip value continues to make Ellis Island Hotel & Casino a mainstay favorite for Las Vegas locals and visitors alike. "As the only family-owned and operated casino within the circuit, this partnership is an exciting opportunity," said Anamarie Ellis, vice president of operations at Ellis Island Hotel & Casino. "We look forward to inviting guests to watch this historic race from our property. The sport is bringing new energy to the town, and specifically to Koval Lane." |
