I Went to Formula One (F1) Las Vegas. What was it Really Like?

[@JoeOh100]

We were there - this is actually one of the BEST vidoes ive seen talking about what its ACTUALLY like.. will be going back next year

[@UpUpOurWay]

Thank you so much Joe!

[@gasmangrowshow2231]

First year growing pains, P1 and P2 was a MESS, but we had a good view from the room. Rest of the week was great, can't wait for next year.

[@UpUpOurWay]

Yeah I think they will have some lessons learned and hopefully it will be smooth sailing (or racing) next year.

great job Melissa and Enrique! Loved your live stream ✌️❤️ Liked

[@UpUpOurWay]

Thank you Lee!

You guys had a great time, I enjoyed watching!

[@UpUpOurWay]

Thank you Nick!

[@rodney7564]

Great video, watched you two the day you walked on the strip and encounterd Jenson Button. im a big F1 fan and this is my first time i watched streames walkin outside of the track in the city, i always wanted to go to Vegas but its a huge trip from Amsterdam and kinda pricey too, you guys gave me a real nice view of Vegas and thank you for that! i feel kinda sorry for the locals. F1 in your city is 3x more expansice then any other city. also the Merch is 3x more expasive, i think the race in Vegas is not there for the locals but only for the ultra rich. i hope you two enjoyed this grand prix as much as i have from my home. it was the best event of the year thanks to the great view of vegas and the exciting race day its self, i hope you guys get to see a real race next time instead of a quaily, Qualy is nice but a race is even better. Wish you great luck with the channel and i keep a eye out on you two for next year in Vegas on the strip xD 🙏

Thank you for the positive feedback 😀

Melissa & Enrique great video! I watched on ESPN. I knew nothing about F1 and have been learning about it. Loved the ice sculpture! When I watched on ESPN, cars looked close to each other. Yet, peoples videos on KZbin show that they were not that close. Fan zones & spots for photos looked really cool! Thanks for the video!

Excellent++ video! Again! Yet there are reports of six to eight weeks to clear it out? Wow! I want a good view inside those fountains to make sure they are clean under the waterline, and make sure the grandstands are not folded up behind the bushes for next year? ;-) My mind has translated the Heineken Light logo for Modelo at 00:54 ;-)

[@UpUpOurWay]

We should have photoshopped the Modelo logo in there 😂 Thanks Don!

[@The_Phoenix548]

Thanks for the info! Was that ticket price for the whole weekend including the actual race?

[@UpUpOurWay]

No, this was only for the Friday qualifier. Tickets for Saturday were about $1,000. Out of my league. We saw 3 day tickets for about $1,500. This was all after prices dropped a week or so before the race.

[@Fercho01]

@@UpUpOurWay Qualifying. Qualifying. Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. I would consider going if they make a grandstand at Turn 14. I can’t believe they didn’t! The straights are not my thing, although for Qualifying I think it was pretty good. Thanks again!!

[@UpUpOurWay]

@@jaythestud we did not receive cash or free tickets or comped rooms, food , drinks by anyone including hotels or F1. We are required to disclose that on the video when we get it for free, so if you have receipts for your claim you can expose us 😂😂😂

[@madog1]

I didn't go, and I'm on the fence about going next year. I'm curious of what the original price for the tickets you bought were, before the price cut, if you don't mind telling us.

[@UpUpOurWay]

I actually have no clue! They were electronic and didn’t show face value.

[@madog1]

@@UpUpOurWay Oh, ok. Thank you! Great video BTW. 😊

[@soloracer1]

Curious to see pricing for next year. I bet they will start lower. The late running times of Friday and and Thursday I expect to be earlier. I want that. Toto Wolfe team Principal for Mercedes asked for that. Ferrari team Principal asked that another race of other cars be added to the 3 days. So not just F1. Maybe F2 or f3. or a,sports car race. Maybe possibly Robby Gordon SST TRUCK race on the on the strip. KZbin them. I expect 30% bigger attendance next year and bigger the next. Enjoy it before crowds are unbearable.

[@MH_6160]

I am on the fence for next year too, but watching peoples live streams I saw where you can see it for free :)

I have no problem with F1 in Vegas. My problem is that they basically put Vegas in a storage closet and then treated the non-paying F1 tourists like inmates. I hope that the F1 people meet Karma. Karma ALWAYS wins the race.

[@UpUpOurWay]

😂🤣 hopefully there are some lessons learned.

[@oneyedgnarlyrob5611]

That taco u had looked way more stuffed than at the sphere. Like literally there was almost no meat on the ones i got. And the hod dog was ice cold as well as the shake ramen. Amd i got all this stuff within 30 minutes of the gates opening.

Wow! That’s too bad. They were my favorite too.

Hi Bob! Sorry for the 💩 audio. We were trying to follow rules on what was allowed, but I don’t think they really cared. Lesson learned!
