Las Vegas Motor Speedway

\"Las

Opened in 1996, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is about 10 miles north of the downtown area, in Clark County. The facility is a 1,200 acre complex and contains 7 different race tracks. The main facility is a 1.5 mile D Shaped oval track and hosts a NASCAR Sprint Cup race in March. The facility is used virtually all year round, hosting private and club events, along with testing. The facility is owned by Bruton Smith of Speedway Motorsports.

During non-event days, the facility offers 1 hour tour for $8 USD and one gets to see the track from a number of vantage points. A lap of the oval is also included.
