As one of the country’s most dynamic destinations, Las Vegas regularly proves it’s at the forefront of entertainment. From a futuristic new event space to one of the year’s most exciting races, the city is closing out the year with meaningful experiences and unforgettable attractions, just minutes from Ascaya’s private mountainside community.
1. The Formula 1® Las Vegas
Grand Prix Will Soon Zoom Through Las Vegas
The Formula 1® Las Vegas Grand Prix is set to take over the city November 16-18 and roar past iconic landmarks, hotels, and casinos.

A one-of-a-kind venue and experience, Sphere has welcomed in a new era of art and entertainment with U2’s groundbreaking concert series “U2: UV Achtung Baby Live” and visionary director Darren Aronofsky’s specially commissioned film Postcard From Earth — part sci-fi story, part nature documentary.

5. Katy Perry and Adele Close Out Their Extraordinary Residency Shows
Two of the year’s biggest Las Vegas residencies are coming to an end on Saturday, November 4 — “Katy Perry: Play” and “Weekends With Adele.” Opened at the end of 2021, “Katy Perry: Play” has added dates throughout 2022 and 2023, due to popular demand, at The Theatre of Resorts World Las Vegas. November 4th’s performance is the last chance to catch the show the Las Vegas Sun described as “a feast for the eyes and ears.” Likewise, “Weekends With Adele” extended what Rolling Stone hailed as “a record-breaking run” that kicked off in November of last year. The upcoming November 4th show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace will be the acclaimed singer’s final residency performance. Both promise to be unforgettable evenings.
