Predatory scam operation. Unsafe. Avoid at all costs.
I bought these F1 tickets months ago, before they were even publicly listed and then quietly delisted from Bottled Blonde’s own website. I paid nearly $1,000 PER PERSON for what they advertised as premium rooftop access with views of the race — I got them as a birthday surprise for my girlfriend. Instead, what we walked into was a blatant bait-and-switch scam, run by the most hostile management team I’ve ever encountered in Las Vegas.
Let me be clear:
There were NO views of the race. Zero.
Why? Because they put a giant VIP table section across the entire viewing line — meaning only VIP tables had any sightline of the track, and the rest of us were shoved behind furniture, bodies, and barriers with absolutely no visibility.
And yet they sold these tickets as “viewing access.” This wasn’t an accident. It was deliberate and predatory.
Dozens of attendees around me were furious as well. Most of them had purchased through StubHub, where the seller was listed as Bottled Blonde—even though the staff later claimed they “never sold tickets through any third party.” That is a lie, and I saw it with my own eyes. The majority of guests I spoke to were holding StubHub confirmations.
They also kept changing and shifting entrance times all week long, clearly to squeeze as much money out of people as possible and keep expectations foggy right up until the moment you walked in and realized there was no view.
And the final insult? They sold same-day GA access at the door for a fraction of what I paid, and it was literally the same thing as “premium GA” — no difference except the price. It felt like employees were improvising prices on the spot. Whether or not money was being pocketed internally, the entire operation gave off the vibe of a venue trying to milk every dollar from confused guests during F1 weekend.
But the worst part of the night was the behavior of the manager, Alex, and the management team in general. Alex was shockingly rude, dismissive, confrontational, and acted as if guests pointing out the scams were somehow the problem. When I calmly raised the obvious issues — no views, fake seat numbers, misleading ads — his response wasn’t professionalism. It was aggression. At one point he even threatened to trespass me simply for questioning why I paid nearly a thousand dollars for nothing that was promised.
Given how small and petty he acted, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already planning his next shopping spree at Gap Kids, which is about the only place his ego and management skills belong. Corporate management should check the accounting from last night before some of that ends up spent on children’s clothes for their child manager.
And the “free food” they advertised? Pure slop. Not premium, not curated, not remotely aligned with the price point — just low-quality cafeteria-tier food thrown together and passed off as some kind of F1 hospitality. And the so-called open bar was another scam: it didn’t even open until the race was already underway. By the time anyone could access it, the event you supposedly paid for was in full swing. It was an “open bar” in name only — deliberately delayed, clearly designed to minimize what they had to provide.
This venue is unsafe, predatory, and openly hostile to paying customers. No one should ever spend a dollar here. Frankly, the way they operated during F1 weekend, they deserve to collapse under their own financial misconduct, and Alex should never work in Las Vegas hospitality again.
I’ll be joining Sarah and Michael in their complaints, filings, and every next step. This place should not be allowed to operate the way it does.
Avoid this venue. Tell your friends to avoid it. If you value your safety, your money, or basic respect, do not go here.
