Jeremy Aguiero, principal analyst with Applied Analysis, told KSNV-TV\/Las Vegas <\/em>\u00a0that the appeal of the race — scheduled for Nov. 16-18, 2023 — will draw more extremely wealthy fans and their private planes to the Strip than it has ever seen before.<\/p>\n “You think I’m joking?” Aguero asked. “I think they’re going to be parking in like Phoenix, right. I think that’s what’s actually going to happen.”<\/p>\n Formula 1 fans are among the wealthiest sports fans in the world. They include Hollywood elites such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Matthew McConaughey, and corporate household names Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson.<\/p>\n F1 itself has a \u201cbillionaire boys club\u201d of team owners worth an estimated $146 billion. And all 10 of them are likely to take their own air transportation to the race.<\/p>\n And those not flying commercial are also likely to include most of the F1 drivers. Not all are as wealthy as Max Verstappen with Red Bull Racing, who is reported to pull $60 million a year, but they don\u2019t need to be.<\/p>\n In order to meet the demand, the Clark County Aviation Department recently built an 18-acre ramp expansion at Henderson Executive Airport. It should be large enough to handle as many as 80 private jets, depending on their size, bringing capacity at Henderson Executive to more than 200 aircraft parking spots.<\/p>\n Harry Reid International is also reportedly adding another 14 acres of parking to accommodate the invasion of wealthy race fans.<\/p>\nSpace Race<\/h2>\n
