LAS VEGAS (November 23, 2025) – The sold-out Bellagio Fountain Club delivered the ultimate luxury race party for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, featuring an unrivaled viewing experience for celebrities and athletes. Kendall Jenner spent qualifying night at Bellagio, heading to the resort’s iconic Shoey Bar and then Bellagio Fountain Club, watching the race and visiting her 818 and Eight Reserve pop-up bar inside the venue pouring elevated 818 Tequila cocktails. On finals night, Naomi Campbell played a DJ set from the Tao Hospitality Group Skydeck atop the Bellagio Fountain Club as DJ Pauly D took over the turntable at the Red Bull Lounge. Other notables who enjoyed the action perched above the world-famous Fountains along the track’s fastest straightaway included Jon Hamm, Sofia Vergara, Sofia Carson, Dwight Howard, Ace Greene, Sofia Elizabeth and more.
Further adding to the electric atmosphere was an unprecedented roster of the world’s greatest chefs, restaurateurs and viral culinary content creators helming the show kitchens inside of Bellagio Fountain Club, including Mario Carbone, David Chang, Wolfgang Puck, José Andrés, Masaharu Morimoto, Siddharth Ahuja, Tom Colicchio, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Alex Guarnaschelli, Mark Wahlberg, Michael Mina, Antonia Lofaso, Olivia Tiedemann, Michael & Bryan Voltaggio, Brooke Williamson, Dave Beran, Owen Han, H Woo Lee and Dominick DiBartolomeo. Chef Morimoto brought together an array of the culinary stars - including Carbone and Chang - to help build a 60-foot Maki Roll to kick off the race.
Immediately following the race’s conclusion, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and George Russell were driven by Terry Crews to the Winner’s Stage where Bellagio Fountain Club guests got a front row seat to the post-race interviews.
Bellagio’s Shoey Bar was back in full force as fans lined up to drink the signature cocktail out of the limited-edition racing shoes designed in collaboration between MGM Resorts and Sparco. Comedian Tom Segura served up laughs and libations while guest bartending at the popular race week cocktail destination.
At ARIA Resort & Casino, the buzz continued with Carlos Sainz’ Smooth Operator Dance Lounge, an homage to his racing nickname famously earned from singing the song while passing his competition. On Wednesday, Sainz made lifelong memories for hundreds of fans as he surprised the crowd walking into the party at midnight. The crowd cheered within the neon-lit venue adorned with photos of the charismatic driver throughout.
Australian Driver Daniel Ricciardo surprised fans at his Enchanté pop up at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas offering a collection of his fashion line.
Additional unique racing activities curated by MGM Resorts took place throughout The Strip including a Mercedes experience in ARIA’s lobby; a Williams Racing fan zone on the Brooklyn Bridge; a Haas memorabilia display at The Cosmopolitan and many more.
