EXOTICS RACING MEDIA

If you're attending the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this year, make room in your schedule for something extraordinary. While the SEMA Show (Nov 4–7, 2025, at the Las Vegas Convention Center) is packed with industry-leading exhibits and networking, your time in Las Vegas deserves more than just the convention hall. For an unforgettable break from the trade-show floor, look no further than SPEEDVEGAS — one of the top adventure activities in town.

Why SPEEDVEGAS is the must-do experience

• Located just ~15 minutes from the Strip, SPEEDVEGAS gives you a world-class motorsports experience without straying far from your hotel.
  
• The facility features a 1.3-mile racetrack purpose-built for high-performance driving, plus supercars, go-karts, and off-road trucks — offering an entire motorsports playground in one place.
  
• With over 60 vehicles (Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, and more) and fully-instructed experiences, both first-time drivers and auto-enthusiasts will find plenty to love.
  
• Reviews consistently place it among Las Vegas’s top attractions, meaning you’re not just doing something fun — you’re doing something iconic.
  

Why it pairs perfectly with SEMA Show week

• SEMA isn’t just a trade show, it’s a celebration of automotive culture, innovation, and high performance.
  
• After long hours walking the expo floor, meeting vendors and builders, a session at SPEEDVEGAS lets you feel the thrill of the machines, not just admire them in a booth.
  
• It makes a great team-builder or client-entertainment option: bring key partners or colleagues for a share-worthy experience beyond the hospitality suite.
  
• It’s easy to fit in: SPEEDVEGAS offers a variety of sessions and booking opportunities to fit between SEMA attendance (SEMA runs 9 a.m.–5 p.m. on Tue–Thu and until 4 p.m. on Fri).
  

Recommended SPEEDVEGAS packages for SEMA attendees

Here are a few tailored experiences that will appeal to automotive professionals, exhibitors, media guests or serious car fans:

• Supercar Sprint – 5 laps in an exotic supercar (choose from 25 models across 11 brands including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, Aston Martin, Corvette, and more)
  Great when you have a few hours to spare: you get right into the action, pick your car, get a briefing and make every lap count. (Packages start at around $249 for 5 laps in a high-end vehicle).
  
• Team Challenge – group outing at go-karts + supercar
  Pair rapid go-kart racing (via the Vegas Superkarts facility) with individual supercar drives. Great for a group outing after a long show day.
  
• Off-Road + Supercar – mix things up
  For show-goers who want dual-modes: climb into an off-road truck for jumps and banked corners, then finish with a high-speed supercar run. Perfect if you’re in the performance-parts side of the business and want to experience a broader motorsports profile.
  
• Drifting Ride-Along – 2 laps in a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
  Looking for a quick adrenaline-boosting pick-me-up between SEMA sessions? Ride along at 204 mph and experience the skill and technique required to execute the high-speed drifts you see on the track (Packages start at $99 for 2 laps).

Pro tips to maximize your visit

• Book early: The closer to your dates, the fewer slots remain — especially around major events like SEMA week.
  
• Time it right: Consider a mid-afternoon slot, when the show starts to wind down for the day — you’ll catch golden hour on the track and skip peak traffic.
  
• Travel logistics: From the Las Vegas Convention Center to SPEEDVEGAS (14200 S. Las Vegas Blvd) is surprisingly smooth — allow ~20 minutes from the Strip.
  
• Group / client outings: If you’re hosting clients or colleagues, ask for VIP or group rate options (you may be able to request dedicated instructors, trackside hospitality or photo/video packages).
  
• Capture the moment: Many participants rave about onboard video, instructor coaching and the sense of achievement the drive offers. Use it for branded content, social media sharing or simply to amplify your trip’s story.
  
• Balance your schedule: 120 minutes is ideal for visiting SPEEDVEGAS. Use the experience as a “reset” after spending the morning at SEMA refreshed for evening networking.
  

Final word

If the SEMA Show gives you inspiration, contacts and product ­insights, then SPEEDVEGAS gives you the visceral memory that brings it all to life. Whether you’re an exhibitor, attendee, media guest or automotive executive, it’s one thing to talk performance mods and aftermarket parts — it’s another to feel them. Plan a slot on your arrival day or the day after, and turn your Las Vegas trip from “just another show” into a high-octane experience that will be talked about long after the convention floor clears.
