The final stretch of track work for the 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix starts Monday, and it will squeeze traffic on and around the Strip all week. Race organizers released the schedule for Nov. 9 to 15, and they note it may change.
Lane reductions and closures
- Las Vegas Boulevard: Nov. 9 to 13, lanes are reduced between Spring Mountain Road and Harmon Avenue from midnight to noon. One lane stays open each way.
- Sands Avenue: through Nov. 13, lanes are reduced between Las Vegas Boulevard and Manhattan Street from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Friday. One lane stays open each way.
- Gantry installation: Nov. 10 to 12, crews will close two lanes at a time at points around the circuit. Each closure is expected to last about 30 minutes.
- Koval Lane: fully closed between Rochelle and Harmon avenues starting at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 14, listed through Nov. 23.
Pedestrian bridges
The bridge linking Bellagio and Horseshoe, and the bridge from Harmon Shops to the southeast corner of Harmon Avenue, will close from midnight to 9 a.m. daily, Nov. 11 to 14.
Bus changes
RTC says seven Route 119 stops on Koval Lane between Rochelle Avenue and Westchester Drive stay closed around the clock through Dec. 18. Sands Avenue stops 2504 and 2505, and westbound stop 2572 on Spring Mountain Road, stay closed through Nov. 25. Gantry work may slow the Deuce and other Strip routes, and from Nov. 17 to 25 the Deuce and Routes 119, 202 and 203 run special race-week schedules.
What it means for locals and visitors
Early-morning trips along the center Strip will be slower all week, so give yourself extra time before noon. Koval is the big one: once it closes on Nov. 14, plan pickups and drop-offs east of the Strip around it, using Paradise Road or Swenson Street instead. Driver tip: overnight Sands Avenue work hits the Venetian and Wynn area right around late-night pickup time.
