As we near closer to SPEEDVEGAS opening this coming spring, it’s becoming clear that it will be far more than simply a race track. Aside from the track and cars itself, SPEEDVEGAS will enhance supercar and exotic car driving experiences with a special events center complete with observation deck, cafe and gift shop. Our CEO Aaron Fessler sat down with the Las Vegas Business Press to speak about what the future holds for SPEEDVEGAS.

“Aaron Fessler, co-founder and chief executive officer of SPEEDVEGAS, said the hospitality industry has an interest in his future space as an enhancement to current offerings.

‘You have a place where there's a venue and participants can do something amazing — it's really attractive,’ said Fessler.

The events center will be housed in the planned two-story, 22,000-square-foot welcome center, which will also contain an indoor and outdoor observation deck, a cafe and gift shop.

The space will be available for bachelor parties or other special occasions, along with corporate events. Event goers can watch their friends or colleagues drive exotic cars like Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche up to speeds of 135 mph. Also in the corral of 20 vehicles are Corvettes, Audis and Shelby Mustangs. Additional offerings are expected.

According to company officials, the track's offerings could expand in the future into things such as a drag strip, off-road adventuring and other kinds of speed activities.”
