Driver tips for big-event weeks
- Grand Prix week (around Nov. 21) brings the biggest road closures of the year on and around the Strip. Plan extra time and use rideshare pickup zones.
- Sphere shows let out all at once. Expect surge pricing and a long wait at the Venetian/Palazzo pickup areas right after the show.
- Book hotels early for Grand Prix and National Finals Rodeo weeks. Prices jump fast.
- Allegiant Stadium concerts and Raiders games back up I-15 and Russell Road for about an hour after the event.
