Las Vegas is already a wild place, and it's about to get even wilder with a Formula 1 race on the strip in 2023. The announcement was made Wednesday that Vegas will join Austin and Miami as host cities for F1 races in the United States.

The event will be held in November 2023, though an exact date hasn't yet been announced. The track will take drivers past notable famous Vegas landmarks.

Via ESPN:

The 3.8 mile (6.2km) circuit will see cars flash by Caesars Palace, Bellagio Fountain and Mandalay Bay, as well as the ball-shaped MSG Sphere, which is currently under construction and set for completion next year.

Just look at this:

This is absolutely bonkers, and F1 drivers and fans alike naturally had some strong reactions to this news:

While plenty of people are excited, other fans aren't pleased with the decision to race in Vegas, seeing it as nothing more than a gimmicky money grab:

A number of people made the Monaco comparison, and this race will definitely have the feel of Monaco given the track layout and all the glitz and glamour of Vegas. While it's understandable to have some concerns about this face, there's no doubt that it should be really wild to watch.

Formula 1 is becoming more and more popular in the United States, boosted in part by Netflix's Formula 1: Drive to Survive. With the ever-growing popularity, F1 is taking advantage by bringing the sport to America, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see more cities get races in the future.

Vegas also continues to do as much as possible to bring more sports to the city. In addition to this race, Vegas is angling for an NBA team with a new basketball arena.
