Pretty crazy that the USA only hosted three F1 races between 1980 and 2000 and now they will host three in a six month period.

Late in the season for Vegas. Weather chilly?
Seems like the title may be decided by the time they get there knocking some of the luster off.

Yeah late November is going to be cold.
Plus on TV it will have to compete with a key late-season Pac-12 After Dark game. The F1 TV ratings won't know what hit 'em!

Monaco is also confirmed on the calendar until at least 2025.

Do they have a contract with the Miami race? I enjoyed the race but it seemed like most people hated the track and atmosphere. But they pumped a lot of money into that race.

Miami has a 10 year contract if I'm not mistaken.

April 2022: Formula 1 announces 10-year deal with Hard Rock Stadium
After five years of negotiations, Formula 1 announced it signed a 10-year deal with Hard Rock Stadium in April. F1 organizers claimed it will bring Miami Gardens an annual economic impact of $400 million, and new CEO Stefano Domenicali hopes the community will benefit from their presence going forward.

I say this constantly. Create a small spec car that looks like a 60's F1 car, with no downforce. Bill it as a driver's race, everyone is even. It pays WDC points, but obviously does not pay WCC points.
You know who would love it? The fans, and the mid-field and backmarker teams. The top 3 teams would hate it because they lose their advantage, even if it's just for one frickin' race.

Remember that time F1 kicked everything Russia out, but kept the race in Saudi when missiles were flying in the background?

WDC points for a classic spec GP in Monaco would be fricking awesome and would boost revenue. Do it classic points style as well. (1st gets 10, 2nd gets 9, etc.) It's something that would showcase driver skill and technicality.
Of course they'll never do it because we live in the age of dumbasses who don't understand entertainment or want to have any fun.
It's why I hate indycar, they have the opportunity to be something that F1 can't be, and they somehow make a gayer version of F1. Indy should be running V10s with those zero emission fuels or whatever, running more 2010-13 type bodies. Hell with just the V10's alone you could draw in huge numbers from Europe. But again they won't because god forbid we have something good.

So F1 is still flying from Asia to America, and then to Europe? They sure care about carbon emissions.

They'll never do it because LeClerc, and the others, is deathly afraid of old school cars after he had a minor crash in a late 70's Ferrari.
And yes, Indycar could become huge if they went even V8, let alone V10. No hybrid. Run them on alcohol like they did for decades.
I laugh every time I see an F1 intro and it has the sound of a V10 in the background, not the pos V6 hybrid they actually run.

3 races in the US seems like a lot.

Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar within the distance of New Orleans to Shreveport.
Jeddah would be like driving to El Paso
