Kinja'd!!!

Going to be heading to Las Vegs in a couple of weeks, and wanted to know if there is any cool car or motorsport related stuff to do there. I’ve previously been to that Exotic Racing rental place out from the city a couple of years ago, and would like to do something a little different (and less expensive). Maybe go for fun drive thru Red Rock Cavern or other fun twisty routes that locals or other Oppo’s know about?

Really looking for any kind of suggestion for some motorsport activities, dirt bikes, ATV’s, go-karts, drifting, etc... Also if anyone knows of any events going on the weekend of June 16-17th, please let me know.

Gonna pluck the low hanging fruit and suggest the Shelby American factory/museum, as well as the big museum at the Linq casino.

We rented a car to drive out to Red Rock Canyon when we were there in 2015...that’s also a good time.

Great suggestions, I hadn’t even thought about museums. I’ve always heard Red Rock is great to see, and didn’t know if it was also fun to drive. Thanks

You’re not going to be able to do a lot of spirited driving in the park, but it’s great to see. For me, it was also a nice escape after a couple of days on the strip.

The other nice thing about these two places is this: unlike just about everything else in Vegas, they can be done really inexpensively. The Linq car collection is huge and can be viewed for free, and a rental car doesn’t cost much more than a taxi ride and can be used all day.
