A Thrill-Seeker's Dream Come True in Las Vegas

By Paul Fitzgerald

Are you going to fill your need for speed? Then, to the tracks we shall go. And what about the dashing race car that would be your chariot on fire, you say? No worries, you wouldn't need to be a professional race car driver because in Las Vegas, the city where the word "impossible" is hardly ever used, race car rentals are wait. Only a few can get a chance to ride a race car. But you can be part of the minority.

Race car rentals are but a click away. So get those gears on and let's get that smell of rubber on gravel. But then again, if personally piloting the vehicle is not exactly your cup of tea, you can always look for thrill rides to take you on that adrenaline rush. The aptly named ride "Speed," is a state-of-the-art roller coaster in the city. It was named as one of the best attractions in the city by Vegas dot com and the Las Vegas Review Journal.

The ride begins inside the NASCAR Cafe, where an electromagnetic force slingshots the coaster out of its launch site at breathtaking speeds over the first hill. Then, a steep drop follows bringing the passengers 25 feet below the surface through an underground tunnel before catapulting back above the ground and through another breathtaking loop.

And get this: this roller coaster speeds up from 53 mph to 70 mph in just two seconds as it whips through the Sahara's 192 foot tall marques. Curves, gut wrenching stops, and scream inducing loops; this is the thrill ride that makes any daredevil's dreams come true.

Now, are you ready for this thrill ride? If you are, then prepare to scream your way to the time of your life. If the aforementioned ride is not enough, then let's get on board Rollers Coaster at New York-New York. This time, you experience towering drops, multiple loops, all while getting that split-second chance to marvel at the stunning views of the Strip.

The ride starts off with a steep hill, building great suspense and anticipation while you enjoy the aerial view of the Strip. Then, surprisingly you plummet down a 144 foot drop with the intensity continuing with loops, corkscrews, and hills reaching up to 67 miles per hour.

This is something no race car can do just yet. But don't close your eyes with the twists and turns. Enjoy a ride that takes you upside down, gripping on your harness, and having absolute fun. What, you still want more? Then more, you shall get. I'm not holding back anymore because if you want more, then I'm bringing out the big gun: Skydive Las Vegas. Adrenaline rush, speed, and thrills; what other activity can give you this than skydiving?

Get to experience the awesome view from two miles high, above the Boulder City. See Hoover Dam from a bird's eye view. Fly over Lake Mead, the Colorado River, Valley of fire, Strip Hotels and Casinos, Redrock Canyon, Mt. Charleston, and the Four States. Nowhere else in the world can you get the experience of free falling at 120 mph.

No windows around you, no floor underneath, no walls to enclose you. With skydiving, it's just you and the sky. So what's the perfect formula for the speed demon and the thrill seeker? Race car rentals, roller coasters, and skydiving. But not necessarily in that particular order. Enjoy the free fall.
