Engines roared and the thrill of speed was in the air as travelers flocked to Southern Nevada for the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Now in its second year, the event drew an enthusiastic crowd, transforming the airport into a hub of F1 excitement. Guests arrived to see race-themed photo opportunities like the helmet pictured above, and an array of exclusive merchandise to enhance their pre-race experience.

The airport played a crucial role in facilitating the race, managing a significant cargo operation that included the arrival of widebody jets carrying essential cars and equipment and overseeing the post-race departure of all the F1 gear.

As the private jet set descended upon Southern Nevada, general aviation airports in Henderson and North Las Vegas were invaluable in accommodating aircraft and welcoming travelers.
