Speedvegas Turns You Into A Racecar Driver For An Extreme Adrenaline Rush!
If you're looking for some high-speed excitement, Speedvegas has what you're looking for. Choose from Exotics Racing, Vegas Superkarts, off-road SSV desert tours, or Baja Truck driving experience.
"Speedvegas is a paradise for everyone with a need for speed and home to four different activities," Doreen Thievin, Director of Communications for Speedvegas told The Blast exclusively. "The biggest one is Exotics Racing, the world's biggest supercar driving experience where customers can drive one of our 50 supercars on a racetrack."
If that's not quite your speed, there's also Vegas Superkarts, an outdoor go-kart track, "an off-road SSV desert tour with stops at the dry lake and Seven Magic Mountains," and a Baja Truck driving experience on Speedvegas' dirt track.
Thievin wants people to know that no experience is no problem, and Speedvegas is a "place for every budget." They see locals and visitors alike for some memorable adrenaline-rushing fun.
"I wish people knew that there is no racing experience necessary," she said. "Speedvegas is a place for everyone and every budget. Customers can drive a go-kart for $35 per race or they can spend the whole day in a race car with private coaching for $2,500. Our place is open for everyone, even if customers don't drive anything; they can come to Speedvegas and check out all our 50 supercars. All cars are open and people can sit in them or take photos. A true paradise for every car lover."
CEO, Romain Thievin, founded the business in France in 2005. In 2009, he moved to Vegas and founded Exotics Racing which merged with Speedvegas in 2021 to form the Speedvegas Motorsports Park.

Zipline Or See The Sights From The High Roller Observation Wheel

The Strat, at the north end of The Strip, also offers some thrill rides and experiences 800 to 1,000 feet above Las Vegas Boulevard.
"Shoot straight up 160 feet in the air at 45 mph on Big Shot and take a roller coaster ride like no other that teeter-totters you over the edge of the Tower from 866 feet high on X-Scream," according to their website.
