Her: NOPE
If your dreams were crushed like mine to drive a well balanced coupe down a curvy mountain on a Saturday night then you may want to head down to Fast Lap for your fix.
Sure it is no where comparable thrills wise to a curvy mountain, but Fast Lap's curvy track will entertain you and everyone whom doesn't drive under the speed limit.
There are a ton of coupons and deals out there for Fast Lap, whether it be a Yelp promotion, locals promo, or some coupon for 3 races for $25 dollars. Each race is approximately 8-9 minutes long, a fast lap is in the high 20's, and these things are QUIIIIIIIIIIiick (up to 50mph). Braking and acceleration are present on these go karts, although you'll probably never have to brake (just let your foot off the accelerator) since you'll never have the chance to access a speed which you need to brake. The turning radius of the wheel is limited (probably 35 degrees each way). Each race is physically exhausting if you've never done go karting before. Head socks which go under the helmet, a helmet, gloves, AND a track suit is provided, cool stuff.
To get here I would recommend go from Tropicana and making a left onto Polaris (or right if you are coming from the strip) because if you take Flamingo you will be making turns and turns to find this place.
My only disappointment is that my kart broke, must be because I'm too hardcore.
PS: Driving your regular vehicle afterwards will seem awkward and you will probably make crazy turns scaring your passengers. That is mostly due to the fact that your wheel is uber light now.
