Hotels of Las Vegas

Have you ever dreamt of being a race car driver? Do you have the need for speed? Sahara Hotel and Casino has just what you’re looking for.

Las Vegas Cyber Speedway is the next best thing to the real experience. In fact, with simulators enabling drivers to customize tire pressure, aerodynamic wing angles, horsepower, braking response, transmission torque and suspension, you may forget that it’s a simulation at all.

Located in the NASCAR Cafe, the 35,000-square foot attraction offers visitors the chance to compete with up to seven other drivers in pursuit of the checkered flag.

Drivers can choose between zipping around the Las Vegas Motor Speedway or hurtling down the Las Vegas Strip, all realistically depicted on a 20-foot, wraparound screen. The cars are 7/8 the size of authentic stock cars and mounted on hydraulic bases. Both automatic transmission and stick shift are available.

Reaching speeds of 220 mph, racers will issue pit crew instructions while enjoying the sounds of the speedway through a 15-speaker sound system.

Current speeds and placement are displayed throughout the race for onlookers and final results are available once it concludes.
