Las Vegas Motor Speedway
The Basics
You can get an up-close look from one of the 80,000 seats around the 1.5-mile (2.4-kilometer) track, or you can jump behind the wheel with one of the speedway’s riding experiences. Choose among several racing packages that include NASCAR and Indy race cars, as well as exotic models like Ferrari and Lamborghini. For travelers who don't want to steer, drive-along experiences with professional racers allow you to feel the high speeds from the comfort and safety of the passenger seat.

When to Get There
Spring NASCAR Weekend, which includes the Pennzoil 400, takes place in March, so expect the biggest crowds then. Overall, spring and fall are the busiest seasons in Las Vegas because of the pleasant weather. If an event is postponed due to weather, ticket holders receive credit toward a future race.
Hidden Valley
Adrenaline seekers who want to explore the surrounding desert can sign up for a guided tour of Hidden Valley, located in Jean, Nevada, a quick drive from Las Vegas. There, you can hop on an ATV, dirt bike, or off-road vehicle and travel over the rugged terrain. It’s another adventure away from the sparkle and glitz of the Strip.
