SpeedVegas!
The place is pretty cool. I go to Vegas twice a year and I haven't done it yet. I drive by it twice and think about it. Maybe this October when I go to Henderson for a bowling camp and training.

@Jkirkerx:
What @///Bruce said.
My wife and I visited LVNV for the first time in Feb. 2017, and then went back again in Oct. 2018, and a third time in Sept. 2019. Each time, I partook of Exotics Racing (IIRC, 12 - 15 laps each time).
Interestingly, that first time was in late February, just after a bad thing happened at SpeedVegas. Here are two R&T articles, from 2/15/17 and then 2/24/17:

Okay, that was a while ago, but it was frightening. As luck would have, I didn't know beans about this when I first went to Exotics Racing. I liked it so much, that afterward I did some research on it, and stumbled across those articles. Had I read them first, maybe I would've skipped the whole thing.
So while I don't have any experience with SpeedVegas, from what I read in R&T and from my own three-peat at ER, I have to say that I was very impressed with ER, they seem very professional, have lots of run-off, and I certainly plan to go back to them if I find myself in LVNV again.
Oh, BTW, when I first went to ER, they used Cayennes to show folks -- typically, groups of three customers at a time -- the track (two laps, one at moderate speed, and the second fast enough to give you whiplash). By my last trip, they had switched to Macans for this, because, an instructor told me, they suited their purposes just as well.

That "Supercar Experience" Could Be More Dangerous than You Think
Recent deaths in a crash at a supercar experience in Las Vegas should make us reconsider just how safe these events are.

But if you think of how many people go there every day…. A few wrecks would be expected. You must remember, some people have never driven cars of that caliber and at those speeds. And some have.
