Hotels in Las Vegas

Race weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway attracts huge crowds, so choosing the right place to stay comes down to finding the best mix of distance, comfort, and price. Las Vegas offers everything from hotels just minutes from the track to lively downtown and Strip resorts that turn the Pennzoil 400 into a full city break. Because accommodation closest to the Speedway fills up fast, booking as early as possible is strongly advised.

Staying closest to the Speedway

For fans who want to be right in the heart of the action, accommodation near the Speedway is the most practical option. On-site camping and RV areas provide an authentic race-weekend atmosphere and allow you to walk straight to the grandstands. If you prefer a hotel, nearby properties such as Cannery Casino Hotel and Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa offer comfortable rooms, dining options, and entertainment just a short drive from the circuit. Staying nearby helps you avoid race-morning congestion and keeps logistics simple.

North Las Vegas & Nellis area (around 10–15 minutes)

A short drive south along I-15, North Las Vegas features several dependable mid-range hotels popular with race fans. Places like Hampton Inn Las Vegas North Speedway, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, and Holiday Inn Express Las Vegas combine easy access to the track with added comforts such as free breakfast and quieter surroundings than the Strip. The area around Nellis Air Force Base also has a good selection of hotels and motels that keep you close without being directly next to the Speedway.

Downtown Las Vegas

Downtown Las Vegas sits roughly 20–25 minutes from the track and is a great choice if you want racing by day and entertainment by night. Accommodation ranges from higher-end options like Circa Resort & Casino and Golden Nugget to more affordable stays such as Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino. Staying downtown puts you steps away from Fremont Street, known for live music, bars, restaurants, and a lively atmosphere once the racing is done.

The Las Vegas Strip (about 25–30 minutes)

For visitors looking for the classic Las Vegas experience, the Strip delivers it all. While it’s a bit further from the Speedway, iconic resorts such as Bellagio, Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, and Luxor offer world-class dining, shows, shopping, and nightlife. This option works well if you’re extending your stay beyond race weekend – just allow extra travel time on race days, as traffic can be heavy.

Budget-friendly stays

Those travelling on a tighter budget will find plenty of value-focused hotels and motels along I-15 between the Strip and the Speedway. Well-known chains like Motel 6, Super 8, and La Quinta Inn provide basic, no-frills accommodation at lower prices, ideal if you mainly need a convenient place to rest before early starts at the track.

Short-term rental

If you prefer a larger space or amenities like a kitchen, consider booking a vacation rental or Airbnb. These options can be found throughout the USA and can offer flexibility when it comes to location and accommodations.
