The official F1 calendar is confusing;

This page says Nov 16 to 18 - www.formula1.com/en/racing/2023.html

But this page says Nov 17 to 19 - www.formula1.com/en/racing/2023/Las_Vegas.html

Both are for 2023.

(Fri, Sat, Sun are the normal days nowadays of course - Nov 17 to 19 - some races used to be on a Saturday of course)

Does anyone know the correct dates for sure and why the official F1 calendar inconsistency?

so the race is on a saturday evening 10pm in las vegas and saturday late night (3am etc) in the uk?

saturday races are very unusual these days.

i'm after the days of the week (in the uk) really not the times - the race is on saturday late night or sunday late night?

Yes, but when I typed "Pacific Daylight, UTC-7" that was an error; since
the event is in November the local times given are Pacific Standard,
which is UTC-8. Ten PM Saturday in Las Vegas would be 6 AM in the UK.

saturday races are very unusual these days.

Sunday early morning in the UK.

Here's a list of all the World Championship GPs held on other than Sunday:

Even discounting the Indy 500 there were quite a few, although none
since 1985 until Las Vegas.
