Local Traffic FAQs
When will the track be "hot"?
"Hot Track" is from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. on each event day. On event days (Nov. 16-18), roads will begin to close at 5:00 p.m. each day. The Inbound lanes will be closed first to allow cars to filter out while outbound lanes will be closed once all vehicles have been cleared. Once all vehicles are cleared, we will begin to close the 38 openings around the track. At 7:00 p.m., the track will be fully built and turned over to the FIA to prepare for race activity.
If I live here in Las Vegas, how do I get to the track?
We highly recommend taking a rideshare service to one of the designated drop-off locations closest to your assigned zone. While the majority of resort properties on The Strip will have available parking on-site, it’s important to note that any resort located within the circuit will require a pass or proof of reservation (room, restaurant, show) for entry. If you choose to drive, please take note of the traffic shifts, expect delays and consider alternative routes.
