Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has “one of the most prestigious hospitality spaces” at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, with his Gordon Ramsay at F1 Garage “located on pit lane at Turn 1 of the circuit.” The space provides “some of the most intimate views of the race.” Despite the price tag of $28,088, the space “sold out long before the race weekend rolled out.” Ramsay is a “big fan” of F1 and has a “healthy Las Vegas presence with seven restaurants.” Ramsay said, “I was talking with [F1 president and CEO] Stefano (Domenicali) a couple years back to come up with something unique and they wanted to raise the bar. Not only just in terms of entertainment but food as well. There’s no greater platform to launch that than right here in Vegas three years ago.” The ticket includes “three days of all-inclusive premium food and beverages, behind the scenes tours of F1 team working spaces, access to the F1 podium, F1 drivers stopping by the space and former F1 drivers providing live commentary during racing action, a dedicated service manager and a commemorative ticket box” (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 11/21).
