Race fans… you’re in Vegas next week, right?!? The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix is set for the weekend of November 18, and it’s gonna be huge. Helping make it so big is our big man, Shaq.
Of course an event like this is going to come with a big number of oversized parties, and the people at Sports Illustrated are putting on one of the biggest. Want to attend? You can! (Bring some Vegas-sized cash, BTW.)
It’s called Club SI. Included on the roster of celebrities in attendance – soccer superstar David Beckham and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. They’ll be celebrity hosts for the SI party Saturday night.
As for the Club SI experience itself, there’s a full package for those who want to come for the race and events going on around it. Club SI has put together a full-on, three-day all-inclusive hospitality suite overlooking the race track, which will be right on the famous Las Vegas Strip.
So needless to say, the view of the racing action will be second to none. But -as they say on the late-night TV commercials – that’s not all. Club SI will be offering those celebrity appearances, parties, DJs, and premium food and beverage options.
For Beckham, he’s looking forward to the big event: “I have enjoyed many great races over the years; this Grand Prix in Las Vegas will be incredibly exciting. It’s going to be a fantastic night, and I’m looking forward to seeing Shaq and other race fans at Club SI.”
Shaq has been to other Sports Illustrated events, so he’s ready for another big-fun event in Vegas “Having attended Club SI at other Grand Prix races, I can say with certainty, when it comes to the celebration of sports, SI never disappoints. I’m excited to catch up with David and connect with race fans from the best seats in Vegas.”
So, how much? Well, the full weekend package is priced at $7,000. Not cheap, but for the full weekend? Not too bad…
