The Las Vegas Grand Prix is around the corner and the Bellagio casino-hotel is days away from starting race preparations.

On Monday, work crews will begin removing the trees in front of the Fountains of Bellagio along Las Vegas Boulevard to make room for the construction of the Bellagio Fountain Club (an F1 spectator area for VIPs), according to a memo shared by the resort’s parent company MGM Resorts International. Also starting Monday, two southbound lanes on the Strip in front of Bellagio will be shut down and remain closed until December.

The Formula One event will take place in Las Vegas between Nov. 21 and Nov. 23.
