I Went to the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix — What It Was Like

"I spent Friday night at the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere, where general admission included complimentary food and nonalcoholic beverages, plus access to event activations and live entertainment, including nightly headliners (Swedish DJ Alesso performed when I was there) for a festival atmosphere." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.

"What started as an off-menu item at David Chang’s Momofuku Noodle Bar became Fuku’s famed chicken sandwich, which is a crispy habanero-brined chicken breast with mayo and pickle on a potato roll; Fuku launched as a standalone quick-service operation in 2015, has grown into a chain with stadium concession stands, and is now at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The menu includes four other sandwich varieties (including ones with ranch or sweet and spicy sauce) plus wings, nuggets, tenders, and waffle fries; openings at other U.S. locations have come with great fanfare and messy rollouts. I also note that David Chang has been a controversial figure in recent years due to reports of explosive anger and specific outbursts recalled in a 2018 essay." - Janna Karel

"In a city that’s all about entertainment, T-Mobile Arena is quite literally the biggest stage yet. The 20,000-seat venue serves ashome ice for the National Hockey League’s Las Vegas Golden Knights, andalso hosts a variety of concerts, rodeos, fights, and conventions. Unlike at other arenas, concourses at T-Mobile are open to the main floor, meaning you can see the action while you wait in the queue for beer. For a different perspective, catch a game or show from Hyde Lounge, a Bellagio nightclub outpost on the top floor; one section is cantilevered over the action, which makes for amost dramatic viewing experience. Because T-Mobile bought the naming rights, T-Mobile phonecustomers get extra perks inside, such as line-cutting privileges and free charging stations."

MGM Resorts requires salaried staff and new hires to get vaccinated against COVID-19 | Eater Vegas

"Under a new Nevada program, producers of large-scale events at this venue can opt to admit only vaccinated attendees so those individuals may forgo wearing masks; the option applies to events with more than 4,000 fixed seats and requires tickets or registration, effective access control to prevent unticketed entry, and an accurate, reliable method to verify vaccination status—anyone unable to provide proof must be denied admission, partially vaccinated guests and children under 12 must still wear masks, and the policy is optional while Nevada otherwise maintains an indoor mask mandate." - Susan Stapleton
