Formula 1 bosses have added a Las Vegas Grand Prix from 2023 — meaning three races will be staged in the United States next season. 

The planned 3.8-mile track in Sin City takes in a portion of the city's famous Strip, where casino resorts such as Caesars Palace, New York-New York and the Bellagio dominate the landscape. 

Joining the US Grand Prix in Austin and the new Miami event, which debuts this May, Vegas will be a night race held on a Saturday in November.

Due to the eight-hour time difference, it will be broadcast early on a Sunday morning in Europe.

F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said: "This is an incredible moment for F1 that demonstrates the huge appeal and growth of our sport with a third race in the US. 

"Las Vegas is a destination known around the world for its excitement, hospitality, thrills and the famous Strip. 

"There is no better place for F1 to race than in the global entertainment capital of the world and we cannot wait to be here next year."

Greg Maffei, president and CEO of Liberty Media, the owners of F1, added: "Iconic Las Vegas and F1, the pinnacle of motorsport, is the perfect marriage of speed and glamour. 

"Our confidence in this unique opportunity is evident in our decision to assume the promoter role for the Las Vegas GP in partnership with Live Nation. 

"We could not be more excited to work with our local partners to create a marquee event. 

"The potential of F1 has been well demonstrated over the last several seasons and the Las Vegas GP will only take it to the next level."

A statement from F1 revealed the Vegas event will consist of 50 laps, with the track sweeping past some of the world’s most legendary landmarks, hotels and casinos. 

It added: "The incredible neon lights of Las Vegas will be the backdrop for F1’s third race in the US and highlights the huge enthusiasm and excitement there as the sport continues to grow its global fan base.

"The track design is 3.8 miles long from start to finish with top speeds estimated to be over 212mph. 

"There will be 50 race laps with three main straights and 14 corners, including a high-speed cornering sequence and a single chicane section."

The 2022 F1 calendar resumes on April 10 for the Australian GP at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit.
