Beginning Wednesday, Sept. 3, Richard Petty
Driving Experience at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway will offer complimentary
round-trip transportation from the famed Las Vegas Strip. Guests who purchase any Richard Petty driving
experience, including the American Muscle Car Challenge, will receive
transportation to and from their choice of five casino resort destinations
situated on Las Vegas Boulevard.
“As
the original driving experience in Las Vegas, we are one of the most thrilling
activities offered in Las Vegas, but we recognize a twenty-minute cab drive
from the Strip to the Speedway is not very thrilling,” explains Karl Fusco,
general manager. “By providing inclusive transportation to our guests we
enhance our service and guest experience by offering convenience and comfort
from hotel to track and back again.”
Pick
up locations include the Rotunda area at Excalibur Hotel Casino Las Vegas, the
North Tour Lobby at Paris Las Vegas, the Bus Loading Area at Treasure Island
Hotel & Casino, the North Tour Valet at The Mirage Hotel & Casino and
the Bus Depot at Harrah’s Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.
The
only driving experience in Las Vegas that allows drivers to let loose on the
1.5 mile tri-oval at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Richard Petty Driving Experience
offers real life NASCAR racing thrills, putting drivers behind the wheel of an
authentic NASCAR race car. Packages range from eight, white-knuckle laps to a
heart-pounding 30-lap driving experience, with each experience providing the
guests the opportunity to climb behind the wheel, press their foot on the gas
and feel the power of 600 horses as they hug the corners on the same
superspeedway that the NASCAR pros race on.
For
visitors who prefer to try their hand at street legal cars, the American Muscle
Car Challenge program is designed to demonstrate the specific performance
characteristics of a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 and Ford
Mustang Shelby GT500.
Guests
who participate in a driving experience at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway will
also have the option to purchase photos, in-car videos and souvenirs to
preserve this memory for years to come.
