Enjoy A Day At The Races With NASCAR Las Vegas Travel Packages

By Claudine Hodges


Las Vegas Motor Speedway has played host to millions of stock car fans since it opened its gate in 1988. Every year, race fans flock to this 1.5-mile speedway in the Southern Nevada desert to cheer on their favorite drivers. Many companies offer affordable NASCAR Las Vegas travel packages allowing fans to stretch their entertainment dollars.

The excitement of NASCAR racing taking place in one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world is a combination that many people find difficult to pass up. Guests can travel to Vegas in March when the Speedway hosts NASCAR's two top national touring divisions. The other option is to visit in September when the Truck Series drivers take their turn to compete.

The March races draw capacity crowds who are eager to see Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Jimmie Johnson and the sport's other biggest stars. The Truck Series drivers are less well known but no less talented. Fans traveling to Vegas for the September event will find a little more room to spread out and a smaller crowd to deal with at the track.

Race fans arriving from out of state will want to select a package that includes a round trip flight to McCarran International Airport. The airport's location offers easy access to major freeways and is just a few minutes from the world famous Strip. Limousines, taxicabs, buses and other public transportation options are located just steps away from the baggage claim area of the terminal. All car rental companies do business out of a facility adjacent to the airport and provide free transportation for customers.

Accommodations in Vegas range from strictly functional to over the top opulent. Guests can find suitable rooms in every price range and most have easy access to the speedway. Many budget hotels off-strip offer discounts for extended stay guests.

NASCAR race activities during March take place over three days with qualifying for both racing divisions taking place on Friday, one race on Saturday, and one race on Sunday. Fans may attend one, two, or all three days. Many travel packages include tickets for prime seats in the frontstretch grandstands. Some travel operators can secure VIP passes for access to luxury suites.

The Neon Garage is one aspect that makes the speedway unique among others on the NASCAR circuit. This is a special area inside the track where fans can observe the race crews working on their vehicles through large glass windows. No other race track allows fans to be so close to the action throughout the race weekend. Special activities inside the Neon Garage throughout the weekend include live music performances and autograph sessions with the drivers.

Individuals coming to Las Vegas for race weekend have the opportunity to enjoy many different types of entertainment when they are not at the race track. Travel operators can schedule other activities according to the client's wishes. Options include tickets for one of the major production shows at a Strip resort, VIP passes into one of the city's world famous nightclubs, and access to other activities and attractions.
