Camden’s Dream Weekend in Las Vegas kicked off the moment he landed. The first stop was an unforgettable meet and greet arranged by our partners at McLaren. As Camden waited in a conference room, he heard a familiar voice nearby—and moments later, Lando Norris walked in to surprise him. The two spent time talking, laughing, and getting to know each other before Lando gifted Camden an autographed hat to commemorate the moment. Camden couldn’t believe it!
From there, the family checked in at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, where the staff rolled out the red carpet. Their suite featured an arcade room and an incredible view overlooking the racetrack and paddock—true VIP treatment.
To wrap up an unforgettable first day, Camden received a behind-the-scenes tour of the McLaren garage and paddock. Seeing the inner workings of an F1 race weekend up close was a dream in itself.
Day two began with a high-adrenaline Dream Driving experience, where Camden rode shotgun in a drifting car with a professional instructor. He also got to explore a lineup of exotic cars on site—a clear highlight of the trip!
In the afternoon, the group returned to the track to catch the F1 Academy races and qualifying sessions. Despite a bit of rain, the excitement never slowed down.
Day three started at the F1 Arcade, where the team challenged each other on the racing simulators. Naturally, Camden beat everyone—and even got to see Gordon Ramsay make an appearance while they were there.
Lunch took place at Hell’s Kitchen, where Camden tried the famous Beef Wellington and met the chefs and general manager. Afterward, the family visited the M&M’s Store so sister, Bliss could join in on the fun.
That evening, the group enjoyed another incredible meal at One Steakhouse. Even after a day full of food, everything was so delicious they couldn’t help but keep going! The manager and chef made Camden feel right at home with thoughtful hospitality.
Finally, it was time for the big event—the race itself. The energy around the Las Vegas Grand Prix was electric, and Camden and his family stayed until the very end. Although Lando didn’t win—and was later disqualified—the experience was still everything Camden hoped for and more.
The weekend was more than a trip; it was a blessing. The partnership with Virgin Hotels made the experience seamless—both the accommodations and the location made traveling to and from the track effortless.
As the family headed home, Camden said the weekend was absolutely a dream come true. Thank you to everyone who poured their hearts into making this F1 Dream Experience unforgettable!
