There are a limited amount of rides in Vegas, so beggars can't be choosers when it comes to getting your coaster kicks. Speed the Ride is at the Sahara Hotel on the extreme north end of the "Strip" near the Stratosphere.
The coaster is 60-second super speed thrill ride that includes one loop and a Superman style vertical ascent at the end. It then reverses at top speed and you get the loop one more time. The speed of the ride is the best part, in which you go 0-60 in about 2 seconds for a hard left turn into the loop. When you think it is going to slow down, it instead begins to move faster as you climb up the ascent for a 2-second weightless fall. The return is just as jostling and fun...that is if you are into speed rides such as this.
The cost is $10 a ride and $8 for a repeat, or $20 for an all day pass. If you sign up for a player's card you get a discount coupon off the all day pass. It pretty much run's into the night so you can go almost anytime before 10-11pm.
