Las Vegas is renowned for its over-the-top experiences, but few attractions deliver the pure adrenaline rush quite like Speed Vegas. Located just 15 minutes south of the Strip at 14200 Las Vegas Boulevard, this world-class motorsports facility offers visitors the chance to drive exotic supercars, race high-performance go-karts, and tackle off-road adventures all in one location. After experiencing everything Speed Vegas has to offer, including driving both a Lamborghini Huracán and Ferrari F8 Tributo, here’s our comprehensive review of what might be the most thrilling automotive experience in Nevada.
The Facility: More Than Just a Track
Speed Vegas isn’t your typical tourist attraction. The moment you arrive, it’s clear this is a serious motorsports facility built with precision and safety in mind. The main building houses an impressive lobby that feels more like a luxury car showroom than a typical Vegas attraction. Gleaming supercars are displayed outside, creating an atmosphere that immediately gets your heart racing.
The check-in process is streamlined and professional. Staff members are genuinely knowledgeable about the vehicles and track, not just order-takers. They take time to understand your experience level and help you choose the right package for your comfort zone and budget. The facility also includes viewing areas where friends and family can watch the action, plus amenities like a gift shop and food options. So a great place to just go and watch too.
What sets Speed Vegas apart is the quality of their infrastructure. This isn’t a repurposed parking lot or makeshift course. The track was specifically designed for supercar experiences, with proper safety barriers, runoff areas, and sightlines that meet professional racing standards and they have the lease for the next 40 years so they are going to be there a while!
The Track: Longest in Las Vegas
The crown jewel of Speed Vegas is their custom-built 1.3-mile track, officially the longest driving experience track in Las Vegas. The course features 10 challenging turns, elevation changes, and a substantial straightaway where these supercars can truly stretch their legs. The track layout strikes an excellent balance between technical cornering sections and high-speed runs.
The design incorporates elements that challenge drivers of all skill levels. Slower, technical sections help build confidence and teach proper racing lines, while faster portions allow experienced drivers to push the limits safely. The track surface is well-maintained, and safety features including TecPro barriers and large runoff areas provide peace of mind when you’re behind the wheel of a $300,000 automobile.
During our experience, the track conditions were optimal, with clear sightlines and excellent grip levels. The elevation changes add an extra dimension to the driving experience, creating moments where you feel completely immersed in the speed and handling capabilities of these remarkable machines.
The Cars: A Supercar Enthusiast’s Dream
Speed Vegas boasts an impressive fleet of over 50 exotic vehicles from the world’s most prestigious manufacturers. The lineup includes multiple Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, Porsches, Aston Martins, and more. Each vehicle is meticulously maintained and represents the pinnacle of automotive engineering.
Lamborghini Huracán Experience
The Huracán delivers exactly what you’d expect from Lamborghini – raw power with dramatic flair. The 5.2-liter V10 produces between 602-640 horsepower (depending on variant) and creates an intoxicating exhaust note that reverberates through your entire body. The all-wheel-drive system provides incredible confidence through corners, while the steering is surgically precise. Acceleration is violent and immediate, with the car launching from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. The Huracán feels planted and stable even at high speeds, though it demands respect and attention from the driver.
Ferrari F8 Tributo Experience
Angela’s experience took an unexpected turn when Speed Vegas surprised us with an upgrade from the originally planned Ferrari 488 GTB to the F8 Tributo. The F8 represents Ferrari’s most powerful V8 ever, with its twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter engine producing 710 horsepower – 50 more than the 488. Being rear-wheel drive, the F8 feels incredibly connected and communicative through corners. The steering feedback is exceptional, and the car responds instantly to every input. The F8 showcases Ferrari’s latest aerodynamic innovations and represents the evolution of their mid-engine V8 platform. The additional power over the 488 is immediately noticeable, creating an even more thrilling driving experience.
Both vehicles represent the absolute pinnacle of supercar engineering, but they offer distinctly different driving experiences. The choice between them often comes down to personal preference – Lamborghini’s all-wheel-drive drama versus Ferrari’s rear-wheel-drive precision.
The Instruction: Professional and Confidence-Building
One of Speed Vegas’s strongest aspects is their instructor program. Every driver is paired with a professional instructor who rides along for the entire experience. These aren’t just safety monitors – they’re skilled drivers who understand both the vehicles and the track intimately.
The experience begins with a comprehensive 20-minute safety briefing that covers track layout, vehicle controls, proper racing lines, braking zones, and flag signals. The presentation is engaging and informative without being overly technical. They explain everything from basic driving techniques to advanced concepts like trail braking and apex targeting.
On track, instructors provide constant guidance through radio communication or hand signals when engine noise makes verbal communication difficult. They know exactly when to push you to go faster and when to emphasize safety. Most importantly, they have override controls that provide an extra layer of security, allowing nervous drivers to push harder knowing there’s a safety net.
The instruction quality genuinely enhances the experience. Rather than feeling restricted, most drivers find that the guidance helps them extract more performance from both themselves and the vehicles.
Pricing and Packages: Investment in Adrenaline
Speed Vegas operates on a tiered pricing structure based on the vehicle category, number of laps, and additional experiences. Entry-level packages start at $249 for 5 laps in cars like the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 or Lotus Emira. Mid-tier experiences with vehicles like the Ferrari 488 GTB, Lamborghini Huracán, and McLaren 570 GT4 are priced at $399 for 5 laps. Premium tier vehicles including the Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica and Ferrari F8 Tributo start at $449-499 for 5 laps, while top-tier supercars like the Ferrari 488 Pista and Lamborghini Huracán STO command $549 for 5 laps.
For our experience driving both the Lamborghini Huracán and Ferrari F8 Tributo with multiple laps each, the investment was approximately $800 total. Additional experiences like the drift ride-along cost $99 for 2 laps as a passenger, with options to add additional passengers for $50 each.
While the pricing might seem steep initially, it’s important to consider what you’re getting: access to vehicles worth $200,000-$400,000, professional instruction, insurance coverage, safety equipment, and the use of a world-class facility. Compared to the cost of owning or even renting these vehicles elsewhere, the value proposition becomes clearer.
Speed Vegas frequently offers package deals and group discounts, particularly for corporate events or special occasions. Booking in advance often yields better pricing and ensures vehicle availability.
Additional Experiences: Beyond Supercars
Speed Vegas isn’t limited to exotic car driving. The facility houses three distinct experiences under one roof:
- Vegas Superkarts offers high-performance outdoor go-kart racing on a custom track. These aren’t typical rental karts – they’re 270cc, gas-powered machines capable of reaching 50 mph. The outdoor track features 10 turns and provides legitimate racing action for individuals or groups.
- Vegas Off-Road Experience takes visitors into the Nevada desert in purpose-built Baja race trucks. The off-road course includes jumps, banked turns, and obstacles designed to showcase these vehicles’ capabilities. It’s a completely different adrenaline rush from the supercar experience.
- Professional Drift Experience puts visitors in the passenger seat while expert drivers demonstrate car control at the absolute limit. Riding shotgun in a purpose-built drift car as it slides sideways through every corner is both terrifying and exhilarating.
These additional offerings make Speed Vegas a comprehensive motorsports destination rather than just a supercar rental facility.
Safety Standards: No Compromises
Safety is clearly the top priority at Speed Vegas, and it shows in every aspect of their operation. All drivers receive proper safety equipment including helmets, and vehicles are equipped with full safety systems. The track design incorporates professional-grade safety barriers and runoff areas.
Staff members are trained in emergency procedures, and medical personnel are on-site during operating hours. Vehicle maintenance standards are rigorous, with each car undergoing regular inspections and service. The instructor program provides an additional safety layer that gives both nervous beginners and experienced drivers confidence to push their limits appropriately.
Insurance coverage is included in all packages, providing peace of mind for participants. The safety briefing covers emergency procedures and ensures every driver understands the protocols before getting on track.
The Celebrity Factor: Hall of Fame
Speed Vegas’s celebrity clientele speaks to the quality of the experience. The facility’s Hall of Fame features lap times from notable figures including Gordon Ramsay, Zac Efron, Jamie Foxx, LeBron James, and even Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc. These aren’t just publicity visits – these are legitimate fast lap times that demonstrate the caliber of the facility and instruction.
Seeing your lap times compared to celebrities and professional drivers adds an extra element of excitement to the experience. It’s a tangible way to measure your performance against recognizable names. I was so embarrassingly bad it is not even worth putting writing down on here, if you go I can guarantee you will beat my time!
Areas for Improvement
While Speed Vegas delivers an exceptional experience overall, there are minor areas that could enhance the offering:
- Wait Times: During peak periods, wait times between driving sessions can extend longer than expected. While the facility has viewing areas and amenities, busy days potentially test patience.
- Weather Dependency: Being an outdoor facility in the Nevada desert, extreme weather can impact operations. Summer heat can be intense, though the facility operates year-round.
- Pricing Transparency: While pricing is available on their website, the complex package structure can make it challenging to understand total costs upfront, especially when adding multiple experiences.
- Group Coordination: Large groups might find scheduling coordination challenging during busy periods, requiring more advance planning than smaller parties.
The Verdict:
Speed Vegas delivers on its promise of providing an authentic supercar experience that rivals anything available globally. The combination of world-class vehicles, professional instruction, purpose-built facilities, and comprehensive safety standards creates an experience that justifies the premium pricing.
For automotive enthusiasts, this is a bucket-list experience that provides access to vehicles and performance most people only dream about. For general thrill-seekers, it offers an adrenaline rush that’s hard to match anywhere in Las Vegas.
The facility succeeds because it takes the experience seriously. Speed Vegas treats every customer like a serious driver and provides the tools, instruction, and environment to have a genuine supercar experience.
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
I only really knocked off the half a star due to the price. It is pricey for 5 laps but I understand why it is that price point; the cars, insurance, the expertise of the instructors are all high end so that justifies the cost, but it is expensive and that will put some people off. Having said that, when we went it was really busy, so clearly not putting that many people off.
Pros:
- Exceptional vehicle fleet with proper maintenance
- Professional instruction that enhances rather than restricts the experience
- Purpose-built track that challenges and excites
- Comprehensive safety standards
- Multiple experience options beyond just supercars
- Professional facility that rivals international standards
Cons:
- Premium pricing may limit accessibility
- Peak period wait times could be lengthy (we had to wait a bit but really not very long, nothing to complain about)
- Weather dependency for optimal experience
- Complex pricing structure can be confusing (there is a lot of choices so you can get paralysis from analysis when making decisions)
Bottom Line: Speed Vegas represents the gold standard for supercar driving experiences. While the investment is significant, the quality of vehicles, instruction, and facilities delivers an experience that creates lasting memories. For anyone seeking the ultimate automotive thrill in Las Vegas, Speed Vegas should be at the top of the list.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, checking an item off your bucket list, or simply want to experience automotive perfection, Speed Vegas provides an uncompromising experience that showcases why Las Vegas remains the entertainment capital of the world.
