Adrenaline Rush Your high-speed adventure awaits in Las Vegas. Whether you want to drive on a Formula One racetrack, do some drifting through hairpin corners, drag race a friend or hit top speeds in a stock car, Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche, Las Vegas can take your dreams of driving fast like a race car driver and make them come true. As former NASCAR driver Darrell Waltrip says, “Boogity, boogity, boogity.” Let’s get racing.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM: ©EXOTICS RACING. ©RICHARD PETTY DRIVING EXPERIENCE. ©SPEED VEGAS.

Exotics Racing Think of this as racing school, where you can drive in one of 60 luxury cars on a 1.2-mile track. Test drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche or Audi after getting some one-on-one time with a professional instructor, who also rides along to keep you safe and offer pointers onwhen to accelerate into a curve or when to punch the pedal on a straightaway. “Tokyo Drift” fans, for a real thrill, hop into a Corvette Z06 and let the pros take you sideways through the seven turns. Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 702.405.7223 SpeedVegas Drive on the longest and fastest racetrack in Las Vegas at this speedy attraction south of the Strip. The 1.5-mile Formula One-inspired racetrack includes 12 turns, 15-degree banked turns, 60 feet of total elevation change and a half-mile straightaway. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches and more make the list of speedy cars. 14200 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.789.0568 Dream Racing Take a spin on a 3-D race simulator to get the feel for a Ferrari F430 GT, Lamborghini Aventador, Audi R8 V10 and more and then suit up for five laps of racing. That simulator perfectly mimics the racetrack, only the cars go much faster. Instructors ride along, offering pointers. For a real thrill, grab a friend and try the Battle Drift, where each of you go head-to-head as ride-along passengers for two hot laps in a scene straight out of a car chase movie. Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 702.599.5199 Richard Petty Driving Experience Become the king of the road driving in a 600-horsepower NASCAR stock car with top speeds up to 150 mph. Three different experiences work for any level of

driver. Ride-alongs put a pro in the seat as you ride shotgun for three laps, mimicking a NASCAR qualifying run. Rookies can get behind the wheel for eight laps with an instructor offering pointers throughout the run. Need less coaching? The King Experience brings 18 laps split in half with detailed instructor feedback for a better ride in between. Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 800.237.3889 Pure Speed Drag Racing: Yes, you can drag race in Las Vegas, at least at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Hop inside a dragster and do some smoky burnouts before launching 130 mph down a quarter mile track for 10 seconds. Even cooler? Drag race a friend in an SS Camaro that reaches 100 mph. Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 866.372.4783. Off-Road Experience Take to the desert and crawl through the window of an off-road truck to fly through the short track here. Drivers experience five major jumps, including one that takes you 20 feet in the air, as well as drifting and high-banked turns and a rhythm section. Bonus: You can even skydive into the compound, shoot machine guns and blow up a taxi in the desert. 12801 U.S. 95, South Boulder City, 702.622.7770 Pure Speed Drag Racing Ride along at 140 mph in an 800-horsepower drag racing machine complete with killer burnouts with Pure Racing. Fans can ride along with a pro or try their hand at 10 seconds of glory as they race down the straightaway. Up for racing a friend? Pair up in an SS Camaro and drag race for a quarter mile. Those who want to NHRA License can even race in their own car and pick up some one-on-one coaching to improve their game. Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 866.DRAGSTER 15

Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE

Jasmyn Lam Concierge at Wynn

Q: Tell me about one of your favorite places to send first-time Vegas visitors. A: Rent a chauffeured car and take a scenic drive down the Strip. Start at the iconic Welcome to Las Vegas sign for a photo op, make a stop at the High Roller Observation Wheel, and end up at the drive through wedding chapels downtown for a real feel of all that Las Vegas has to offer. Q: I want to update my Facebook photo. What should I have in the background of my selfie? A: Wynn Nightlife is known for its renowned celebrity DJ lineup. Dress to impress when attending any one of the property’s three venues—XS, Intrigue or Encore Beach Club—and get a selfie with The Chainsmokers, Diplo, Kygo or any of your other favorite DJs on the roster in the background. Q: I want to experience classic Las Vegas. Where do you recommend that I go? A: Downtown is the place to be! Visit stops like The Mob Museum, The Neon Museum, Fremont Street, The Golden Nugget, and The Four Queens. Not only will you learn a lot, but it’s such a fun outing with a group of friends. Q: Where do you like to do some peoplewatching in Las Vegas? A: Downtown Las Vegas, hands down. It’s like a box of chocolates—you never know what you’re gonna get—but you will always be entertained. Q: What tips do you give first-timers? A: Take your time, and please, wear comfortable shoes! Everything looks a lot closer than it actually is when you’re walking down Las Vegas Boulevard. I also recommend taking a day to experience nature in Las Vegas, like Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire State Park. There is so much beauty in this city that you can’t find anywhere else.

Las Vegas Your Way

Unique Discover the rich history of Las Vegas, spanning neon, mobsters and atomic energy. The (1) Neon Museum (770 Las Vegas Blvd. N., 702.387.6366) preserves Las Vegas’ rich history through one of its most iconic art forms: the neon sign. This two-acre, outdoor museum is home to more than 200 neon signs dating from the 1930s to present day. Photography and exhibits of post-Cold War era weaponry make up the (2) National Atomic Testing Museum (755 E. Flamingo Road, 702.794.5124). The museum, affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, also takes a look at pop culture and sociological trends of the era. (3) Springs Preserve (333 S. Valley View Blvd., 702.822.7700) features hiking and bike trails, hands-on classes, train rides and an 8-acre botanical garden. 64 W H E R E L A S V E G A S I A P R I L 2 01 8

FamilyFriendly Commune with the animals and test your sense of adventure at these family-friendly spots that are ideal for every member of your brood. Every day is an adventure at (1) Adventuredome (Circus Circus, 702.794.3939) with its roller coasters, high-flipping rides and kiddie fun. Observe big cats living the luxe life at (2) Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden (Mirage, 702.791.7188). This enchanting park features white tigers, white lions and leopards. Come face-to-face with the ocean’s most dangerous predators and the gentle giants who live among them at the (3) Shark Reef Aquarium (Mandalay Bay, 702.632.4555). See sharks of all kinds, along with sawfish, giant rays, endangered green sea turtles, piranha, moon jellies and the rare golden crocodiles among the 2,000 animals who live here.

Comedy Lover Go ahead and laugh a little. When a good chuckle is just what the doctor ordered, these comedy shows know how to tickle your funny bone. You never know what will come out of the trunk during (1) Carrot Top (Luxor, 702.262.4400). This red-haired comedian keeps his audience in stitches as he unpacks trunkloads of crazy props and wacky inventions. “America’s Got Talent” finalist (2) Tape Face (Harrah’s, 702.777.2782) combines a little mime, magic and puppetry. He even got a Spice Girl to wear a toilet seat. Fun, food and a mystery? Sure! (3) Marriage Can Be Murder (D Las Vegas, 702.388.2111) brings a comedic interactive dinner theater experience in which the audience becomes part of the mystery. You never know whether the killer is the person sitting right next to you.
