Las Vegas Grand Prix: STAGGERING drink prices revealed at F1's showpiece event

Formula 1 is back in the United States this weekend and for the most stunning event of them all - the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The modern-day street race that includes a trip down the iconic Vegas strip might only be in its second iteration, but as entertainment goes, the event provides both on-track and off-it.

This year, Red Bull star Max Verstappen could win his fourth consecutive drivers' world championship, with the Dutchman heading into Sunday's race knowing he only has to better rival Lando Norris to do so.

It would be an iconic place for F1's dominant force to be crowned king once again, and no doubt the celebrations that could follow would be very memorable, too.

While Verstappen may well be tasting champagne if he clinches another championship, fans in the grandstands and at the track will be keen on a beverage or two throughout the weekend, also.

They will need to have plenty of money to spare, though, with some big prices on display at the bars.

How much are drinks at the Las Vegas GP?

F1's Las Vegas Grand Prix drinks menu is split into several sections. These are; Specialty Cocktails, Beer, Spirits, Energy, and Non-Alcoholic Beverages.

Let's start with the good news - the majority of non-alcoholic beverages are complimentary and included within the price of the race ticket. This means that spectators wanting water, Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero or Sprite are in luck as they will not have to fork out any more than they already have to get in.

Unfortunately, however, the same does not apply to alcoholic drinks, with some staggering prices revealed in a video by F1 photographer and YouTuber Kym Illman.

For example, the cheapest specialty cocktail including a single shot of alcohol comes in at $20, with this rising to $22 for some options. A double will set you back either $35 or $37, depending on your choice.

This means that a group of four would spend somewhere between $80-148 dollars for just one round of drinks, depending on which cocktail they went for. Those, and all of the other prices discussed in this article are pre-sales tax, too, with fans facing forking out even more than the prices listed.

Premium Cocktails (Belvedere Vodka, Volcan Blanco Tequila, Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Hennessy VS Cognac, Gin, Rum) will set fans back between $18-$28 for a single and double respectively, whilst standard cocktails (Vodka, Tequila, Whiskey) come in at a slightly cheaper $15 and $25.

Those who prefer beer to spirits have three Heineken options to choose from, with the brand being the race sponsor.

These are regular Heineken Lager, Heineken Silver, or the alcohol-free Heineken 0.0. The alcohol-free drink comes in at $11.20, whilst the others will cost $14.

For those wanting a boost in energy, various Red Bull editions are also available for fans to purchase. These come in at $6 per can.
