Antonio Sabato Jr. Returns to SPEEDVEGAS

Actor, model, and professional racer Antonio Sabato Jr. returned to SPEEDVEGAS on Monday to take in additional laps around our exclusive 1.5-mile racetrack and to spend some quality time with fans. This marks the second time that Sabato Jr. has visited SPEEDVEGAS in less than a week. For this SPEEDVEGAS experience, Sabato Jr. chose to take on the raw power and agility of the Ferrari 458 Italia. Powered by a 4.5-liter V-8 engine capable of delivering 570 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque, the Ferrari 458 Italia hugs all 12 turns of our SPEEDVEGAS racetrack while dusting off a 0-60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds making the Italia a track favorite amongst celebrities and industry experts. After Sabato Jr. was done tackling all of the challenging turns and sweeping elevation changes found at SPEEDVEGAS to include our exclusive half-mile straight, he made plenty of time to take pictures with those that were lucky enough to be at our track. Those that are looking to see more of Sabato Jr. will be able to find him at the Rio Hotel & Casino as he is currently guest hosting Chippendales.
