The Las Vegas Strip sparkled even brighter during Race Weekend 2024, as the highly anticipated “Vroom Room” late-night series returned to the iconic Allē Lounge on 66. Spanning November 22 and 23, this premier nightlife event elevated the post-race experience to unmatched heights, with a lineup of world-class DJs, live performances, and an ultra-exclusive vibe that drew in a who’s-who of VIP guests. The brainchild of experiential leaders Corso Marketing Group (CMG) and automotive lifestyle agency Race Service, Vroom Room seamlessly blended the glamour of Sin City with the adrenaline of Formula 1. Add the panoramic views from the 66th floor of Resorts World’s Conrad Tower, and it’s clear why this event continues to define the luxury race-weekend after-party.
A weekend of music and surprise
Kicking off last weekend on November 22, the festivities were ignited by headlining sets from Kaz James and Ahmed Spins, who turned up the energy and kept the crowd moving until the early hours. However, it was Saturday night’s lineup that truly stole the show. WhoMadeWho delivered an electrifying live performance, setting the stage for Carlita’s mesmerizing beats. Just when the crowd thought it couldn’t get any better, Diplo made a surprise appearance, sending the energy into overdrive. Opening acts Crykit and Spyda T.E.K. set the tone for the nights, ensuring the vibe was at a fever pitch before the headliners took over. Each set created a seamless flow of beats, blending high-energy performances with a sophisticated atmosphere.
VIP vibes and celebrity sightings
The Vroom Room’s allure went beyond music. Its ultra-exclusive nature made it the place to see and be seen. Among the notable attendees were Luka Sabbat, Emily in Paris star Kevin Dias, and Brandon Skenlar of It Ends With Us. Social media icons like Avani, Rickey Thompson, and David Dobrik were also spotted mingling in the crowd, along with Selling Sunset stars Romain and Mary Bonnet. Even Johnny Manziel and Josie Canseco made appearances, solidifying the event as a must-attend for celebrities and tastemakers alike.
