Red Bull's Vegas Extravaganza: "¡Vamos, Vegas!"

Oracle Red Bull Racing, never one to miss an opportunity to heighten the buzz, recently unveiled an enticing video, "¡Vamos, Vegas!" It seamlessly merges the thrill of F1 with the allure of Las Vegas.

Starring Mexican F1 sensation Sergio "Checo" Perez and the team's principal Christian Horner, this masterfully scripted video offers viewers a taste of what's in store. Perez recounts his adrenaline-pumping escapades over the last 24 hours in the city.

The story zips from a high-speed dash down the Las Vegas Strip to a thrilling race in the Nevada desert, and in a twist only Vegas could pull off, the F1 car RB7 ends up perched atop a casino! No Las Vegas tale would be complete without its iconic characters.

Thus, in the video, we see Perez and Horner share the screen with Elvis Presley impersonators, the enigmatic magician Matt Franco, the captivating Blue Man Group, and the legendary singer, Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton.

But the cherry on the cake? Six-time off-road champion and Las Vegas native, Bryce Menzies, racing against Perez in the arid beauty of the Nevada desert.
