Music legends, Hollywood stars and fireworks light up Las Vegas Grand Prix opening ceremony
It was quite a start to the weekend
Formula 1's return to Las Vegas was lit up by a show-stopping opening ceremony on Wednesday evening, with a plethora of stars taking centre-stage.
With drivers being introduced to huge crowds via moving platforms, strobe lights and fireworks lit up the night sky to mark the beginning of an event that has been 40 years in the making.
The inaugural modern day Las Vegas GP truly is a stunning event to behold, and that's before we even start talking about the on-track action, set to greet us this weekend.
The only thing that may ease the jealousy of UK-based F1 fans who will have to set their alarms very early indeed on a cold, dark November weekend may be the fact that the race could potentially become the coldest grand prix in F1 history.
Feel any better? Maybe not when you see some of the stars that have welcomed in this special event.
Who attended Las Vegas GP opening ceremony?
Kylie Minogue was perhaps the headline act of the ceremony, performing in front of the fans in the paddock at the Las Vegas Street Circuit.
John Legend, Journey, Tiesto, Will.i.am and Steve Aoki also wowed fans with appearances, among plenty of others.
Hollywood actor Jared Leto's band Thirty Seconds to Mars rocked the Las Vegas night, with a stunning fireworks display taking place shortly after.
