Is the Las Vegas Grand Prix considered one of the "premier events on the Formula 1 calendar?"

This year prices are down, both for hotels and tickets. For example, Lewis Hamilton is offering a special weekend package. The package includes a three day ticket, reserved grandstand seating, lots of fan opportunities and free food and beverages. At $672, that is a bargain. Racing will have an added interest. Should Max Verstappen win the race, he will also win the world driver's championship.

Last year the track wasn't ready. In an early practice Carlos Sainz sucked a manhole and frame right out of the road, destroying his car. Ticket prices and hotel rooms were astronomical and the racing wasn't great. The race was financially successful, generating lots of income for Las Vegas and Liberty Media.

Ironically, I just went to YouTube And the first video popped up, why Las Vegas is hated as a race.

Why wasn't Queen as successful in America as in other countries? Then, after Radio Ga Ga, they couldn't even get into the top 40 in America even when these songs were top 10 hits everywhere else in the world.
