Las Vegas Motor Speedway, located just north of the Las Vegas Strip, is a sprawling multi-use motorsports complex that caters to a wide range of racing interests. The heart of the facility is a 1.5-mile oval track, home to annual NASCAR Cup Series and Truck Series races that draw huge crowds. But it's not just about oval racing; the infield road course adds another dimension, offering challenging turns for IndyCar and other racing series. Beyond the main track, you'll find a dedicated drag strip that hosts NHRA events, a karting track, and areas set up for autocross. What sets LVMS apart is its accessibility to both professional racing and amateur enthusiasts. Several driving experience programs operate here, giving you the chance to get behind the wheel of a race car. Plus, the venue hosts various spectator events throughout the year and is even available for corporate functions. Expect a large facility with plenty of parking and typically warm, sunny weather. If you're a racing fan visiting Las Vegas, or a local looking to get involved in motorsports, LVMS is the place to be.

- Multi-use facilities run different events on different weekends — road course one weekend, autocross or drag the next. Always check the calendar before you drive.
- Membership tiers
- Many multi-use complexes are private clubs with tiered membership (full / track / social). Day-passes for non-members are possible but often capped per year.
- Programs offered
- Look for HPDE days, time attack, drag test-and-tune, drift, kart races, autocross, and car-club rentals. The same lot of pavement hosts very different programs.
