The Las Vegas Grand Prix takes over the Strip from 19 to 21 November 2026, with the race on Saturday night. It is the best excuse of the year to talk about night photography. Neon, reflections and dark asphalt make a car look nothing like it does in daylight. We have no photograph from Las Vegas itself, so here are the facts of the weekend and the night prints we do carry.

Las Vegas is not new to Formula 1, however. The city hosted two races in 1981 and 1982 under the Caesars Palace Grand Prix name, and the modern event has run since 2023. Average speeds there are similar to Monza, which is a lot for a street circuit lined with hotels and neon.
Why night racing looks different on a wall
Daylight shows a car as an object. Night shows it as light. Headlights, brake lights and neon replace the sun, and wet or polished asphalt doubles every colour. As a result, a night photograph reads like a painting made of light rather than a record of a machine.
Three things make these images work on a wall:
- Colour. Red, blue and amber become the main characters, because nothing else competes with them.
- Contrast. Deep blacks give the picture depth, and they blend into a dark room instead of fighting it.
- Motion. Blur and light trails suggest speed without needing a razor-sharp car.
That is why night images suit a study, a hallway or a living room with dark walls. Moreover, they look best in the evening, when the lamps in the room echo the lights in the picture.
No Las Vegas photograph, but three night prints
To be clear, our catalogue does not include a Las Vegas Grand Prix photograph. We would rather say so than force a link. What we do carry are night photographs with the same mood. Each product page lists the available sizes.
- San Francisco at Night, Broadway Neon Lights: red neon, a lit street lamp and a passer-by in motion. It is a limited edition of 30 prints on aluminium or acrylic glass.
- Bentley GT3 by Night #08, Sepia Edition: a night photograph of a race car, printed in a sepia edition.
- Bentley GT3 by Night #04: another night photograph from the same Bentley GT3 series.
The Broadway photograph has no car in it, yet it carries exactly what makes Las Vegas look like Las Vegas: neon in the dark. You can see every numbered piece in our limited edition collection.
How to choose a night print for your room
A night photograph behaves differently from a bright one, so a few rules help.
- Pick a dark or neutral wall. The blacks of the picture then melt into the room, and the neon stands out.
- Avoid direct window light. Acrylic glass is glossy, so a bright window facing the print creates reflections.
- Go one size up if you hesitate. Large dark areas make a picture feel smaller than its real size.
- Add a small warm lamp or a picture light. A little light on the wall makes the neon glow.

Limited editions and certificates
Our limited editions are made to order on aluminium or acrylic glass, and each one comes with a digital certificate of authenticity. The certificate carries a reference that anyone can check online.

Frequently asked questions
When is the 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix?
The race weekend runs from 19 to 21 November 2026 on the Las Vegas Strip. The race itself takes place on Saturday night, 21 November. Check the official Formula 1 schedule for session times, because they appear in your own time zone.
Do you sell photographs of the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
No. Our catalogue has no Las Vegas race photograph. We carry night prints instead: a Broadway neon photograph from San Francisco and two Bentley GT3 night photographs. They give the same mood on a wall, with neon, dark tones and strong colour.
Which print suits a dark room best?
A night photograph on a dark or neutral wall works well, because its blacks blend into the room and its colours stand out. Hang it away from direct window light to limit reflections on the glossy acrylic glass.
Is the San Francisco night print a limited edition?
Yes. It is limited to 30 prints on aluminium or acrylic glass, and each print comes with a digital certificate of authenticity. Canvas is available too, but canvas prints are not numbered.
