K-1 World Grand Prix 2007 in Las Vegas was a martial arts event held by the K-1 on August 11, 2007 at the The Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It was the fourth K-1 World Grand Prix qualifying tournament held in 2007, featuring classic eight-man elimination tournament format, to advance a fighter to this year's K-1 World GP Final Elimination in Seoul, Korea on September 29, 2007. The fightcard also featured three Superfights.[1]

Following the event, Nevada State Athletic Commission annonced Rickard Nordstrand and Zabit Samedov tested positive for steroids. Norstrand’s urinalysis registered the presence of Boldenone metabolite and an elevated testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio indicative of drug use, while Samedov tested positive for Stanozolol metabolite. Both athletes face suspension of their licenses and fines.[2]
