New Reno Air Races Location announced for 2024 at Spaceport development

 The Las Vegas Air Races, a new aviation experience, has been announced for fall next year.
The Las Vegas Spaceport announced that the motorsport event is planned for Oct. 25-27, 2024, at its facility near Pahrump.
Organizers say the Las Vegas Air Races will feature aircraft reaching speeds of up to 500 miles per hour in an "up-close and thrilling encounter."


More than 500 vendors will showcase products, and the event will be designed to accommodate more than 25,000 people. There will also be drone races, rocket launch demonstrations and live music.
"Ensuring safety is paramount as we execute our plan to draw visitors to the Las Vegas Spaceport and establish our brand," Robert Lauer, CEO of the Las Vegas Spaceport, said in a statement. "Our upcoming Air Races event in the coming year will serve as a demonstration, not only for the FAA but also for the public, reaffirming our unwavering commitment to safety compliance.
The announcement comes as the Reno Air Races approaches its final edition later this month. Organizers cited the significant growth in the North Valleys region where the event is held as the reason for sunsetting the event.
