On Wednesday, Dec. 3, four contestants from the 2025 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center at UNLV visited the new F1 Arcade Las Vegas at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.

Kade Bruno, Kolton Schmidt, Wesley Thorp and Jonathan Torres (above) tried their hand at a different sort of competition during their visit to Las Vegas for the annual rodeo championship by facing off on F1 Arcade’s full-motion racing simulators.

Afterwards, the rodeo professionals experienced a number of menu items, including Wagyu beef sliders, taco flights and more. The 2025 Wrangler NFR wraps up Saturday night at UNLV just east of the Las Vegas Strip.

F1 Arcade Las Vegas is located at 3500 S. Las Vegas Boulevard. It is the world’s first F1 experiential hospitality brand that launched its first venue in London in December 2022, followed by its first U.S. location in Boston in April 2024.

F1Arcade brings all the excitement, glamor and thrill of Formula 1 driving to the masses. It features full-motion racing simulators, reaction games, large viewing screens and food and cocktails with an electric atmosphere.

An in-house tech team worked in collaboration with Formula 1 and Studio 397, a subsidiary of Motorsport Games, to create a new gaming experience leveraging Studio 397’s racing simulation platform rFactor 2.

F1 Arcade is the first and only officially licensed social gaming F1 experience designed for the public that is supported by Formula 1. F1 Arcade plans to open 30 locations globally across the next five years.
