It’s always a great day when you find out your going to spend an afternoon zipping about the streets of Southern Nevada in a Lamborghini Huracan. Unfortunately, this is not one of those days. For me, anyway.
5 Great Things to Do With an Exotic Car in Las Vegas — According to the Person Who Didn’t Get to Go
I was ready.
I was excited.
I was prepared to spend the day cruising around Las Vegas in an exotic car, helping Chase and Paul make a video about five of our favorite things to do when you have something fast, loud and completely unnecessary at your disposal.
Then Chase and Paul took the car and left without me.
So while they were out enjoying horsepower, mountain roads, tunnels and the Las Vegas Strip, I was apparently promoted to Person Who Gets to Write About Everyone Else Having Fun.
Fine.
I can be professional.
Mostly.
Here are five of our favorite things to do when you have access to an exotic car in Las Vegas.
5. Drive to Mt. Charleston
Las Vegas is surrounded by a landscape that looks a little like Mars, assuming Mars had casinos and considerably more traffic. But point the car toward Mt. Charleston, and the scenery changes surprisingly fast.
The road climbs into the mountains, the temperature drops, and suddenly you’re surrounded by pine trees and mountain views instead of rocks, sand and desert. It’s a great scenic drive in just about any car, but give yourself something with a little horsepower and a good exhaust note and the drive becomes part of the attraction.
4. Meet Other Gearheads
One thing we’ve learned after driving interesting cars around Las Vegas is that car people always find other car people.
Pull into a gas station, parking lot or restaurant in something unusual and there’s a pretty good chance somebody will walk over to ask about it. We’ve met all kinds of enthusiasts this way—from serious collectors to people who simply want to know what you’re driving and whether it’s as much fun as it looks.
And yes, usually it is.
Apparently I wouldn’t know about this particular day’s experience because, again, they left without me.
3. Cruise Red Rock Canyon
One of the best escapes from the lights and traffic of Las Vegas is Red Rock Canyon, located just a short drive from the Strip.
It’s an incredible place to take a special car because the scenery is spectacular and the road winds its way through those massive red rock formations. Drop the windows, take the roof down if you’ve got one, and enjoy a drive that feels completely removed from Las Vegas even though you were staring at slot machines not very long ago.
It’s one of those drives where you don’t really need a destination.
The road is the destination.
2. Cruise the Las Vegas Strip
Of course, if you’ve got an exotic car in Las Vegas, eventually you have to do the obvious thing.
Cruise the Strip.
It’s basically the grown-up version of cruising around town when you were in high school—except now there are Lamborghinis, Ferraris, neon lights, giant video screens and approximately 400,000 people who might see you.
The Strip isn’t necessarily where you’re going to stretch the legs of a high-performance car. That’s not really the point.
This is where you go to see and be seen.
And in the right car, you will definitely be seen.
1. Tunnel Rips
This is the one.
You find yourself approaching a tunnel. The windows come down.
You downshift.
And suddenly every responsible adult decision you’ve made that day is temporarily placed on hold.
There’s something about hearing a great engine echo off the walls of a tunnel that instantly turns otherwise mature people into 14-year-olds.
A quick stab of the throttle sends that exhaust note bouncing around you like the voice of the gods thundering through the air, and for a few seconds there is absolutely nothing better in the world.
It’s loud.
It’s ridiculous.
It’s completely unnecessary.
Which is exactly why we love it.
So there you have it: five great things to do if you have access to an exotic car while you’re in Las Vegas.
Or, in my case, five great things Chase and Paul apparently did while I stayed behind and wrote the article.
You’re welcome, guys.
