Las Vegas isn't just a cushy vacation destination with casinos, wedding chapels and residency performances -- over the past few years it has become a full-fledged sports city.

As evidenced by Saturday's 2023 Formula One World Championship on the newly constructed Las Vegas Strip Circuit, sports organizations and fans are flocking to Sin City.

This weekend's Grand Prix, which will feature the sport's top athletes in reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen and seven-time world champ Lewis Hamilton, continues to raise Las Vegas' position as one of the country's premier sports cities.
