Cirque du Speed: What Races in Vegas…

For auto enthusiasts, the response to "What happens in Vegas" could soon be high-speed driving excitement.

The owners of World Class Driving are planning a new SpeedVegas adventure near Las Vegas, promising visitors "extraordinary life experiences" that they can't get at home.

Due to open next January, the 100-acre complex will be highlighted by a 12-turn track, where Joe and Jill Public can test their skills in exotic supercars and high-performance muscle cars.

The Formula One-type circuit includes a 2,000-ft straightaway and a 60-ft elevation change. When not feeling the need for speed, visitors can lounge in outdoor terraces, spectate from an observation deck or partake in other entertainment activities.

The new SpeedVegas center will be located 10 minutes south of the iconic "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign on a previously undeveloped plot of land. World Class Driving allows customers to drive a variety of high-end vehicles through the scenic Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
