F1 Arcade Las Vegas has opened at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, introducing a two level venue that merges full motion racing simulators with high energy dining, nightlife and private event capabilities.

The launch comes as interest builds ahead of the Formula 1 race in Las Vegas, aligning with the city’s reputation for high impact entertainment. Adam Breeden, founder and chief executive of F1 Arcade, said:

“With the roar of racing slated to take over Las Vegas this fall, there’s no better time or place to open an F1 Arcade. This city thrives on adrenaline and unforgettable moments, and that’s exactly what guests will find here with world class simulators, vibrant watch parties and an atmosphere that keeps the excitement going long all year long.”

The project represents the most ambitious US work to date by Anamo Design Studio, whose founder Ana Moisin led the concept and interiors. Moisin said:

“We approached F1 Arcade Las Vegas as a hospitality first project. Every design move was rooted in creating a premium, high impact F and B experience. After all, this is Las Vegas – and with a brand like Formula 1, we wanted to amplify the energy through technology, light and movement. We are proud of the space we have designed – it truly pulses with the excitement of the Strip.”

Among the central architectural features is a 4.5 metre tall illuminated main bar designed in collaboration with Loop Lighting. It includes dynamic lighting controls and a kinetic chandelier positioned over the DJ booth. This sculptural element shifts in real time with the venue’s music and atmosphere, acting as a changing art installation that adds to the immersive feel.

Designers used a combination of layered lighting, textured materials and curving forms to generate a sense of constant motion. The venue includes panoramic views over Las Vegas Boulevard and private event rooms that can host up to 200 guests, aiming to cater to both everyday visitors and exclusive functions.

The food and beverage programme reflects the visual ambition of the space, with a menu featuring dishes such as seafood towers and wagyu beef sliders. The cocktail menu has been created by LP O’Brien, the Netflix Drink Masters winner, whose bespoke drinks are themed around spectacle and speed.

Moisin added

“Las Vegas is the place to push boundaries. We didn’t hold back for a second. Every detail – from the choreography of light to the movement of guests through the space – is designed to surprise and immerse. The result captures the glamour of Caesars Palace, the thrill of Formula 1, and the theatre of Las Vegas nightlife.”

F1 Arcade Las Vegas covers over 21,000 square feet across its two levels. It features 87 racing simulators, a 41 foot champagne bar and an outdoor terrace overlooking the Strip. Positioned at 3500 Las Vegas Boulevard South, it is now open to the public and marks the largest US location for the brand so far.
