Hilton Grand Vacations returned as an official event partner of the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix for the fourth consecutive year, hosting its HGV Clubhouse along more than 450 feet of trackside exposure on the Harmon Straightaway at the Elara by Hilton Grand Vacations tower. The Hilton Grand Vacations F1 Las Vegas experience features chef-driven dining, elevated cocktails and a nightly concert series with Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Tucker Wetmore and Bebe Rexha during the November 19 to 21 race weekend.
As vacation ownership brands push further into experiential travel, Hilton Grand Vacations shows how anchoring a signature hospitality experience at one of motorsports’ highest-profile race weekends can create a consumer experience that traditional resort perks cannot replicate.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Experiential Vacation Ownership
- Vacation-ownership models are evolving into immersive, event-centric products that blend time-share benefits with exclusive live-event access and curated on-site programming.
- Brand-event Hospitality Integration
- Major consumer brands are embedding signature hospitality spaces directly into marquee events to extend brand presence and create one-of-a-kind, trackside guest environments.
- Chef-led Event Gastronomy
- Culinary-driven programming at large-scale events is positioning elevated dining and beverage services as a primary draw that competitors may need to match to retain premium customers.
Sectors Adopting This
- Hospitality and Resorts
- High-profile event partnerships are enabling resorts and vacation-ownership operators to differentiate offerings through exclusive experiential inventory and premium on-site activations.
- Sports Sponsorship and Live Events
- Event organizers and sponsors are reconfiguring sponsorship value by prioritizing immersive branded environments and guest experiences over traditional signage and exposure metrics.
- Food Beverage and Culinary Entertainment
- Live-event culinary programming is transforming food and beverage from a secondary amenity into a revenue-generating entertainment component that commands higher price points and loyalty.
