Tourist Visa

Most visitors do not need a visa to travel to the United States, provided that you are visiting for fewer than 90 days. The full list of countries included in the U.S. visa waiver program can be found on the U.S. State Department website. Your passport will need to be an e-passport with an integrated chip, be machine-readable and be valid for at least six months after the date of your departure from the country. Remember that all visitors to the USA need to complete an ESTA application before arrival. Applications cost $21 USD and the ESTA is valid for two years.

Weather

Nevada is the driest state in the United States, with desert and arid regions. Las Vegas itself is located in the Mojave Desert. The city enjoys over 3,800 hours of sunshine per year. Clear skies are highly likely during your trip, while rainfall is scarce. With the Las Vegas Grand Prix taking place in November, you’ll avoid the uncomfortably warm temperatures seen in the summer months. The average daily temperature hovers around 20°C (68°F), but can drop to as low as 14°C (57°F). With the racing taking place at night, you’ll need to pack warmer clothes to cater for the cooler evening temperatures. Temperatures can drop below freezing at night during November.

Safety

For the most part, you’re unlikely to encounter any issues with crime during your trip to the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Tourist districts are well patrolled by police and most establishments have their own security. Petty crime such as pick pocketing does happen in Las Vegas, especially around tourist attractions, so be wary of your belongings. It’s also wise to not stray too far from the tourist areas of the city. Gang activity and muggings are more common in areas beyond the Strip and Fremont Street. Try to avoid public transport late at night.

English is the most widely spoken language across Las Vegas, though over 20% of households in the metropolitan area speak Spanish. Filipino and Mandarin are also spoken by some members of the community. Nevada has a diverse culture, with many of its inhabitants having moved to the area from other states. The Las Vegas Valley is sometimes referred to as the “ninth island” by Hawaiians due to the large number of Hawaii natives who have moved to the area.
