It’s quite a way from the lights and glamour of the Strip, but SpeedVegas, which sits on Las Vegas Boulevard just a bit south of the M Resort, is no less one of the shining jewels of the Las Vegas entertainment scene. In just a few short years, it’s distinguished itself among racing fans for offering every kind of racing experience you can imagine.
Obviously, there’s the main event: The 1.5-mile racing course with hairpin turns, chicanes and straightaways, upon which you can race your choice of elite machine (foreign cars like Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches, American muscle cars like the Shelby GT500 and Corvette C8 Z51, and street racers like the Acura NSX) for as many laps as you want.
And don’t fret about safety here—SpeedVegas maintains a rigorous cleaning schedule, including UVC lightbox sanitation and disinfecting systems for helmets. In addition, acrylic glass shield protectors are used in every vehicle, and all high-touch surfaces and highly trafficked areas (like the clubhouse, cars and back-of-house areas) are constantly sanitized. In addition, all cars are driven with the windows down to ensure a constant supply of fresh air.
The fun continues on the facility’s custom-built, 1.4-mile dirt track, the only one of its kind in Las Vegas. Odds are this is new territory for most visitors to the Las Vegas Valley, and it’s thrilling: After a quick video and some basic instruction, you’re taking to the course in your 6100 class custom-built truck. As you wheel this state-of-the-art off-road vehicle across the twists, turns and jumps of the course, you will find yourself whooping and hollering with every bit of air you take. Along the way, SpeedVegas technicians feed you information through radio communication in your ear.
