Rip it Up Race Track Style

By Peter Gaunt

P

ut on your helmet and step into one of the fastest and most beloved sports cars of all-time. It’s a dream choice for anybody who has ever wanted to sit behind the steering wheel of a Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Mercedes, Aston Martin or an Audi supercar. If you have the need for speed, Exotics Racing is the place for you. Exotics Racing is located only 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, and a stone’s throw away from the asphalt of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In fact, it sits on the same property and counts itself as one of nine tracks on the grounds. It features more than 30 different cars to choose from, and while you’re taking a break from the excitement of Blackjack and Roulette get your fix of thrills from these guys starting at just $199 for

five laps around the track. With all the different choices, I know what you might be thinking; “Which one of these dream machines will quench my thirst for my Vegas pedal-to-the-metal thrill ride?” Well, let me tell you, every single one of them. There isn’t a bad apple in the fleet and Exotics Racing knows that. They pick the cars that people lust over. The experience is truly once-ina-lifetime opportunity for many people who visit the facilities. I was lucky enough to fire up and drive the Ferrari Scuderia 430. This is the beefed-up carbon fiber, dressed-to-impress brother of the Ferrari F430. The main differences are that the Scuderia has more horsepower and much more of a racecar feel. The floor mats of the F430 are replaced with aluminum See Rip on pg 58

Twisted Vegas The Hearbeat of Circus Circus:

Joey Vespe

By Scott Roeben

Circus Circus has what's touted as the "world's largest permanent circus," and the variety acts that perform at the hotel's midway are often named among the best free attractions on The Strip. But at the heart of the six-minute shows, every half hour, is a man whose drums set the tone for the performers. The man's name is Joey Vespe, and he’s been drumming up excitement at Circus Circus since 1974. Vespe says, "I was with Louis Prima, traveling with him for about seven years, and he decided to get off the road for a while. A friend got me this job, and I've been here ever since." Louis Prima, the famous songwriter and trumpeter, was a Vegas mainstay in the 1950s, credited by many as the one who "invented" Vegas-style lounge entertainment known around the world. Day in and day out, it's Joey's job to build anticipation and suspense around the acts on the Circus Circus stage. Those acts may come and go, but Joe Vespe’s talents have stood the test of time.

"I've seen every type of act. Jugglers. High wire acts. Every kind. We even had an elephant, Tonya. They had a guy who would jump from way up high into a bag. Also, if you look at the ceiling, you can still see a rail. A woman used to ride on a horse up there. Then there was the giant wheel with motorcycles inside. Everything." Joey Vespe has seen it all during his decades-long gig. He was around before there was even seating for the circus acts. Back in the day, customers would watch performances from the casino floor. Despite the thousands of shows he's done at Circus Circus, Joey still strives to keep things fresh. "You try to make it new," he says. "You do it like it's the first time every time. If we were just going through the motions, the performers would notice the difference. It's as much for them as the audience." During his very extended engagement at Circus Circus, Joey has still pursued his outside musical interests. He says, "I play with other bands when I get a chance. I have my own big band. I plan on doing an album." Still, Joey loves his day job, insisting, "I meet people from around the world. They come up and tell me how much they like the way I play. It's been an exciting job." What's the most fulfilling part of his gig? Joey says, "It's all about the kids. It's so the kids can come and have some enjoyment, we cater to the children. They'll always love the circus." Catch Joey Vespe in the act between 5:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. weekdays, 6:10 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. weekends. Stop by and say "hello" to a living Vegas legend! The spotlight may not be on him, but his drumming is undeniably one of the stars of the show. 57


Rip continued from pg 6 Professional Driver, Rudy Ibanez stands beside a Ferrari Scuderia 430. Exotics Racing has more than 30 cars in their fleet of supercars.

plating and the seats and door panels are all carbon fiber, instead of its counterpart’s leather interior trim cutting weight to make it faster. It boasts an impressive $300,000 price tag, and more

than 500 horsepower to push you around the curves before hitting the straight away of the track. If you don’t want to sit in the driver’s seat, but still want to get your adrenaline pumping then sign up for a ride in the Chevorlet Corvette Z06. This is a super-fast, super-sexy, sixspeed that is driven by a professional driver drifting around the corners at speeds up to 100mph. If you’re in the mood for fast action, this is definitely

the place to find it off the Strip.

“To say that you’ve driven a Ferrari, on a real race track, in Las Vegas, is pretty cool,” said Josh Martin, director of marketing at Exotics Racing. The track is 1.2 miles long, and includes seven turns, an 11% bank on turn number two, and a 1,800 foot straight that allows for maximum speed. It’s a heck of a ride and getting through some of the turns is a thrill in itself. Before getting behind the wheel, a short introduction class is taught to all


the soon-to-be drivers. This class is important because it shows the way that the track is designed and the proper ways to maneuver through the turns with maximum efficiency. For instance, did you know that it’s not best to have your hands at “10 and 2,” but rather, “9 and 3,” if you’re driving a racecar for better paddle shifting? Exotics Racing started in 2009 by award-winning French stunt driver and racecar driver Romain Thievin, and David Perisset, a former Lehman’s investment banker. Thieven is “known for his work as Matt Damon’s stunt double in feature film The Bourne Identity… and has worked on more than 150 movies and is a six-time racing champion.” No matter if you’re visiting from the other side of the globe, or if you are a local looking to venture off the beaten path, then head over to the track at Exotics Racing. They know how to treat you right, and make certain that you feel comfortable controlling one of the fastest cars in the world. This is an opportunity that you should not miss!

VEGAS INSIDER yes, and 50 cent shrimp cocktails. Now we have literally dozens of world class restaurants and famous chefs to choose from.

We caught up with Marilyn Gubler the “Boss Lady” at Sandy Valley Ranch to ask for some inside scoop on Las Vegas for our readers. Today: What do you find most unique about this town? Marilyn: That would be the town itself. Who could have thought that a sleepy little cowboy railroad town in the early 1920s could grow into a world famous tourist destination? Today: Craziest Vegas story you care to share? Marilyn: My girlfriends and I used to ride our horses through the Charleston underpass to Las Vegas High School. We frequently rode at night to the drive in movie theater on the Strip where the Stardust Hotel used to be. We tied our horses to the speaker, and watched the movie. Today: Where do you eat in Vegas at night? Marilyn: I well remember when all we had to choose from were hotel buffets and 99 cent breakfasts. Oh 60

Today: Best place to see the sexy people? Marilyn: I’d vote for the Cowboys at Sandy Valley Ranch in tight Wrangler jeans. Today: Best tip for tourists? Marilyn: When you get tired of experiencing the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas come and live your childhood dream of being a cowboy for real at Sandy Valley Ranch. Today: Where do you see the most art in Las Vegas? Marilyn: We do have some wonderful galleries in Las Vegas and they’re all worth a visit, but for me the stark beauty of the Mojave Desert with its purple-blue mountains rising majestically from the valley floor is hard to resist. It’s a whole other side of Las Vegas. Today: Time to plug, tell us about Sandy Valley Ranch: Marilyn: If you’ve always dreamed of “playing Cowboy for Real,” Sandy Valley Ranch is the place. For more than 10 years we have been fulfilling dreams in our special piece of the Great American West. Horses, cattle, round-ups, cattle drives over the mountains and through the mesquites, we do it all, and we’re always adding new adventures. We’re easy to get to... as we like to say, we are “45 minutes and 100 years from Las Vegas.” Add a touch of the real West to the glitz and glamour of your stay in Las Vegas and you will give yourself an unforgettable vacation. And talk about the spirit of the West! Our friendly staff, talented wranglers, and great cooks, not to mention our beautiful, well-trained horses, will welcome you with all the hospitality that is legendary in the Old West. We’re passionate about what we do, and we love sharing it with our guests. Whether it’s a two hour horseback adventure, an overnight stay, or a rollicking corporate party, or team building event, we hope to see you soon on the trail!
