That's if strip clubs are your kind of thing, at least, with more than 15 to choose from all within throwing distance of the race track itself. It's not uncommon for F1 circuits to be built slightly outside city centres and with tricky connections back to civilisation, but such is certainly not the case for Sin City.
A temporary circuit has been built around Las Vegas' main strip and will see drivers zip past some of the mecca's most famous landmarks. That includes no fewer than 15 gentlemen's clubs and strip joints, all within a stone's throw of the track.

It's perhaps just as well that Sunrise Hospital is also in the proximity of the track should anyone on race weekend bite off a little more than they can chew.

When Jimmy Kimmel told the Australian of the drunk antics that may take place trackside, Ricciardo responded: "I guess what you’re saying is there’s 19 others that I have to watch out for but it could be more?"

"It could be thousands! There could be magicians, there could be strippers walking across," responded Kimmel. "You don’t want to hit a stripper!”
With the number of fans and high rollers expected in town for the landmark F1 event, it's bound to be a busy weekend in all of Las Vegas' finest establishments. And that means the drivers won't be the only ones with a chance of earning well over the coming days.
