Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Well, I dont know what to say… ahhhh. Maybe you will enjoy this place if you are under 13 years old. But for the people who wished to spend a nice time before Christmas, this is definitely not the place for. You will drive in your own car couple of miles, surrounded by weird old style figures made from the wraps of lights. They ask you before the entire to turn on the radio station, but the signal stop working as soon as you start driving through the some kind of beton buildings. The funniest thing that most of these figures or animations sponsored by some casino or restaurant. And for all these struggeling you will pay 20 $.

Food vendors= thieves?
Anyone who has attempted an event at LVMS knows to bring a wad of cash if you want to eat or drink.
That’s bad enough, but when the Vendors start trying to steal from you, that sinks to a whole new low.
In my mind, if it happens once, it’s a mistake. Twice, it’s a pattern.
First time, guy tried to charge me soda price for water. +1.00.
Second time, different stand, girl gives me change as if I gave her a 10, instead of the 20 I did give her +10.00.
Be aware folks, pay attention to what you pay these thieves!

Let me start by state 3 stars isn’t bad. I have raced 3 times here. On the Roval and the outside road course. I prefer the outside road course over the Roval but thats the case anywhere for me. The tracks are extremely flat but what else would you expect from a desert. The facilities are great, clean bathrooms, RV hookups in the infield pit area, no RV hookups on the outside road course though. The outside road course has acouple configurations and can support two races at once. The curbing though out the whole facility is pretty good. If you are looking for some practice before hand Iracing has a scan of the Oval/​Roval that is pretty good.

It’s home to EDC, so there’s no real way I would write a BAD review about the Speedway, because that’s where the magic happens! It’s easy to park and free, but you’ll have to be prepared for a long walk. The area is HUGE inside. The only bad thing is that the street leading up to the Speedway only has two lanes, so be prepared for a long wait time to get out, unless you leave at a different time from the crowds.

If it were possible to give a million stars to any one place, Las Vegas Motor Speedway would be it. I am a writer and editor and we live our lives on inspiration. I can attribute a great deal of aforementioned inspirings.
I love LVMS and all it has to offer. The staff is top notch, and as I am an ever fussy member of the national media, I am curmudgeonly and incessantly hard to please, the media centers are comfortable and keep me well fed. The fan areas are ideal for any aspect of racing. The Bullring is always running and full of local and national events. The outside road course occasionally hosts the Optima Street Car Challenge which is awesome. The infield of the Speedway has the Richard Petty Driving Experience, Exotics racing is found near the entrance.
In October, LVMS holds not just the Toyota Nats but also the Red Bull Air Races. Unlike anything that you have seen before, the Air Races are an interesting and thrilling event. NASCAR, NHRA, Red Bull Air Races and countless other events are held throughout the year. Make sure to check out Midnight Mayhem drag as well. It’s always a good time at LVMS

Lets talk about EDC Las Vegas, so 2013 was the first year I attended and 2014 is most likely my last. In case you don’t know EDC stands for Electric Daisy Carnival. Coming from the strip I assure you there will always be traffic so it is highly recommended to come here early to beat the crazy traffic at night. Leave at 5 – 6 I would say is the best, even if you are late you will get to see your favorite artist later in the night without the fear or chance of missing them. Driving there you will see cars plastered with EDC on the back window and where so and so are driving from. Its a cool experience like no other when you’re in your car grooving with your friends to the venue. People are all playing music and trading kandi from car to car. When you finally arrive you get to park and walk into the speedway. You go through security which checks your items, age, and EDC ticket. After passing that there is no other experience like walking through the tunnel hearing the bass as you get closer. When your finally there it is a wonderland with lights and sounds to fill your senses. There are multiple stages and many things to see on all 3 nights. The main stage is sure to be crowded so check out the other stages. I highly recommend the Carl Cox stage in which its just house music! Main stage consists of a little bit of trance but mainly big room house. The vibe of 2013 was the best and had the most PLUR. Everyone was friendly and trading kandi. But this year sucked ass! A lot of new people who were just rude and bumped into you, some are nice and will apologize and keep walking. Bros are kinda annoying since everyone knows their intentions on getting laid is primary and showing off too. Some are nice though and give people rides on their shoulders! The people here are different and come from all walks of life from USA to Asia to Europe! The water stations here are awesome since its free! Merchandise isn’t too expensive but be prepared if you want to buy something. Music is loud so you should wear hearing protection unless you want to lose it soon! Good music and decent vibes. So many fake «ravers» though sadly, people who jumped on the EDM bandwagon since Martin Garrix’s animals. Otherwise you might find some good hearted people but not everyone can afford a 400 $+ ticket including hotel, gas, and food. Pretty much this is a party for the rich and wealthy, It was worth it in 2013 but afte this years experience I done with EDC until the price goes down or until mainstream EDM is done. Hope ya’ll new ravers have fun its an experience of a lifetime! :]

Been here 3 times for Electric Daisy Carnival! The best times of my life! It’s an experience like none other, you’ll feels ways you’ve never felt before, and see things you’ll never see again.
You walk in through the tunnels and hear the echos of the music from all the stages, building the anticipation to the extreme. Then you walk out and it’s just a beautiful wonderland of lights, music, friends and energy! It’s hard to not be overwhelmed by emotions.
Make sure to take the time to see EVERYTHING. The black light rooms, the art, the bars, the parades, the rides, the fun houses, the firework shows… THERE IS SO MUCH!
So many amazing artists… Armin Van Buuren, Kaskade, Swedish House Mafia, Above & Beyond, Dash Berlin… I can’t even right now. Just thinking about this place makes me feel so happy. Try to see a few artists you’ve never seen, you’ll discover so many new people!
Okay, okay, the serious stuff. There are free water refill stations, so make sure to hydrate! There is an entire section dedicated to medical to make sure everyone is safe. LOTS of cops, but they don’t hassle anyone — I’ve even seen some dancing! Some will trade kandi with you too! There are food options and fruit stands as well. Check out the merchandise booths too and pick something up! Security is pretty tight, so just make sure to follow the rules :) The lines to get in can be long, but they go fast when everyone pays attention and has things ready. There are also misters to keep you cool, as this event is in June and it gets hot! Shuttles are the way to go as well in terms of transportation. I’ve heard bad things about cars being broken into and/​or stolen from the lots :(
Experience EDC for yourself at least once, it is the event of a lifetime!

I like this place! They race stock cars here so you know it’s cool. We stayed with relatives in the infield for the race weekend. It was lots of fun and Kevin harvick won like he does every time I go to the races. The neon garage is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen at a racetrack. It’s an elevated walkway above the garages so you can look down and watch them work on the cars. So cool!

Have been coming to this race now for 6 years and have had season ticket for three or four years now… Definitely the way to go! No bench seating here, stadium seats so you do not feel crowded.
Saturday’s Ixfinity race is less crowded and is also the day that we go to the neon garage, the passes are included with our season tickets. Sunday garage passes are available for an additional $ 50.00 but it tends to be more crowded since it is Sprint Cup racing day. The Neon garage allows you to see the cars being worked on from overhead or straight ahead through windows and sometimes the drivers will be standing outside their cars or sitting in them waiting to take more practice laps.
Last year (2014) saw a record breaking crowd show up for Sunday’s race. They actually sold out the seats between turns 3 and 4 but with so many people it was too crowded and concessions started running low or out (depending on what you were looking for), the lines for the restrooms were extremely long, (but in defense of the track, there are many stalls available so the wait wasn’t too bad and the traffic was horrendous.
This year I noticed that those seats were not occupied and without so many people others seemed more able to enjoy the race.
We sit in the Earnhardt Terrace so we generally start heading to the exit with about 12 – 15 laps left. We watch the race as we are making our way to the exit by turn one on the many monitors available and usually watch the final couple laps at the fence before heading down the hill to the exit gate. We were out of the track and back to The Orleans in about 30 – 40 minutes. But if you wait to long to exit you can be stuck in traffic for an hour or more. There are shuttles available from the hotels if you purchase race packages through them, but we like to have our own vehicle accessible.
I wish they would put a second race here at night, but until that happens I can’t wait for next year!!!
See you race fans in California on March 22!!!

It was fun watching the race from the suite, but the best view was definitely from the roof. If you are among the outdoor spectators, sunblock and ear plugs are definitely recommended. The Neon Garage was a treat, but best explored pre-​race.
A fine way to spend an afternoon just outside of the city. Just be prepared for the exit traffic.

Nice facility. Very open area. Traffic sux but awesome place to visit. The best part of LVMS is the Neon Garage. It cost extra but well worth it. Got to see drivers up close and if your lucky you’ll get an autograph too. Check it out!!!

I’m a little biased… this place is one of our customers, so I typically spend a lot of time here.
I love the sights and sounds when you are at LVMS. Tons of stock cars doing laps on the tracks, top fuel cars taking shots at the straight away and the jets flying over head are modern marvels of the engineering sector!
As an engineer, it’s extremely entertaining to watch.
There are a couple restaurants on site… one is The Iron Skillet… which is not that good.
Enjoy.

This is probably one of the better racing facilities in the Southwest — the Speedway is a bit smaller than that of CalSpeedway in Fontana so the NASCAR action is a bit more plentiful as its a smaller «speedway» layout
The Drag strip here is awesome — I really think it rivals the top drag strips in the southwest and it shows playing host to multiple events year-​around
The Bullring is another well know short track concrete oval track that is known nationwide
Next time you are in town if there is an event going on — take about a 20 – 30 minute trip north and check out one of the driving schools or one of the races that seem to go one almost weekly

This review is specifically for the Exotics Racing portion of LVMS.
While you may think that slinging millions of dollars of exotic automobiles around a track under the desert sun is a bit camp and a bit Disney and you couldn’t be farther from the truth.
The team at exotics racing, while exceptionally fun, are also the pinnacle of professionalism.
The facility feels to be a very managed and safe environment while, at the same time, allowing you to feel totally out of control while totally in control.
Exotics Racing has hired a team of very consummate professionals to ensure that you are having a blast out on track.
They’ll charge you a lot of money but you can also see where that money is being spent by ER.
Oh, another thing… Buy the extra laps. You’re going to want them!
They see thousands of racers every year but for that time that you’re on the track you totally feel like it’s yours.
See you out there.

So apparently my review was taken down because it wasn’t up to standards. So I have decided to write another review that’s Unilocal worthy.
I’ve been to The speedway three times, three different years for the Electric Daisy carnival. I went in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Each year has been amazing and the venue is perfect for an event like EDC. The staff was okay every year and we got in and out easily. The traffic the first year was really bad but I think after that year the other two were smooth sailing, well at least for limos.
The venue has a ton of room for different stages and has cooling rooms which are really important for that desert heat. There are also a lot of food and drink stations if you’re hungry during your massive partying.
All in all, I hope that EDC continues at the Las Vegas motor speedway, but I have retired!

I’ve only came to this venue for EDC. I have some of the best and worst memories here.
Pre insomniac employee —
Pros: a huge venue to wander around in.
Cons: upon exiting you’ll probably be stuck in traffic for hours!
Post insomniac employee
However this past year I worked with insomniac and it was such a fun experience. First of all I didn’t have to use the nastyass portopotties! I actually got to go inside one of the building and use running water. Such a life savor for this germaphob. Secondly I got to park in a different lot so exiting only took me 5 mins :) this year definitely changed how I felt about this venue.

Ever heard the line «Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat?»
That is the most concise and accurate description you can get for EDC. You have absolutely no time to do anything else if you want to survive this three-​night clusterfuck that happens to also be FUCKING AMAZING.
What stands in the way of maximizing your time to «Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat» is this fucking speedway, which is SO NOT STRATEGICALLY LOCATED (soooo far from the oh-​so-​familiar strip, where 134,000 people from all over the world are staying). You are limited to MINIMUM hour-​long one-​way trips via personal car, shuttle, cab, limo, or party bus. Only if you’re baller like Paris Hilton (two groups of friends ran into her, oh whaaaat) can you book private chopper rides and maybe catch the latter half of DJ Snake’s set, WHICH I MISSED, THANKS TO FUCKING TRAFFIC. And 3LAU, why the hell was your set so fucking early on Friday?! Ugh.
Anyway, when you need every minute of sleep you can get and you want to see every set possible at EDC, you really don’t have 2+ hours to lose on the road every day. SUCH A TIME WASTER.
And thank you, Insomniac, for making free water so inaccessible to people. Water refilling stations were far and few in between when there were so many more stands selling $ 5 bottles of shitty Dasani water. You know the kid that died the first night? Maybe you could’ve saved his life if he had easier access to water. Assholes. I was just hot and thirsty from dancing too much and even I was discouraged to refill my water bottle because I would’ve had to miss half of this AWESOME ANDREW RAYEL SET, and you bet your ass I am not missing ANDREW FUCKING RAYEL.
Despite the crowdedness, how quickly and unmanageably dirty the venue got, how even the largest stages were spilling out everywhere because there were just way too many people who wanted in on the same sets, how the music sounded so muffled from outside of the stages because it was impossible to get in, how I wanted to dance harder so many times but couldn’t due to lack of space, and how I never seemed to feel hydrated enough due to limited access to water, I STILL HAD THE BEST FUCKING TIME OF MY LIFE AT EDC. You’re with sooooo many of your dear friends, you make so many new friends, the most amazing lights and fireworks are accompanying the most beautiful electronic music, and everyone seems to be in a state of pure bliss. There’s really nothing quite like it.

We’ve been going to NHRA at ‘The Strip’ for years and always have a great time! I enjoy this venue better than Sonoma/​Infineon even though it is an additional 4.5 hrs drive for us from Reno. Plus, we were really glad they let us bring in our own bottled water this time! Vegas water out of the drinking fountain is no good.
We plan on returning for many years to come!

I’ve been here to the motor speedway twice; for Glittering Lights and Nascar Camping Truck Smith’s 350 Las Vegas Global Rallycross Championship in September 2012. It’s a really, really far drive, but fortunately I’m usually just a passenger while my fiancé drives. Anyway, it’s a large venue and getting to the appropriate parking area can be confusing. For Glittering Lights, it was rather easy to find the entrance and to drive through. For the Nascar race, we weren’t given very good directions to find the VIP parking lot, so we had to go back around once.
For that event, we had tickets for one of the VIP Suites through my job and that definitely made the experience even better. The room was very spacious with several tables/​chairs, bathrooms, bar, televisions, and floor-​to-​ceiling windows. There were two doors accessing the terrace viewing area equipped with stadium seating and drink rails. Very nice! We were also offered a limited open bar and snacks.
We also ventured to other parts of the Speedway during this event to enjoy the Neon Garage where we were able to see the winners and their cars as they completed the race and received their trophies! Complete with champagne showers, it was quite the experience!
Don’t forget earplugs if you’re here for a race! It is extremely loud when you’re in the stadium and if you want to venture the venue, wear comfortable shoes — you’ll be doing a lot of walking.

I have been fortunate to have visited this place for two completely separate occasions!
EDC 2012 was an epic experience! Thousands of people crowding together and dancing the night away.
I went here very recently with the boyfriend to experience the Exoctics Racing. He’s a big car enthusiast so what better way to show that off than driving some of the fastest cars in the world. This is a great recommendation to anyone that loves cares. The people there really take care of you! All I heard for three hours were the rev of the engines, the tires screeching, and the wind blowing as the cars pass by!
Huge space to party and drive cars! Best of both worlds!
