    Fun time! Easy check in. Would do it again. Got a nice Groupon price. Came in first place. Woo hoo!

    Ready to race!

    We came here for my son's birthday. His friend was just a little too short to race, and he was very disappointed. But since I had already purchased tickets, the rest of the group went ahead and raced. They had so much fun! We met Gene, who was so kind to us. He took my son's friend for a ride so he had fun too. Two races was the perfect length for us. We will be back!

    I took my son yesterday while visiting Fremont Street, he had an amazing time! The sign-up was quick, the safety video was both informative and funny, and the race was nail biting! He won and had so much fun, the couple he raced against were so friendly. We donated toward their charity that donates shoes to people in need. Will definitely be back next year when we visit again.

    One of the best times. I also found this on Groupon for less than $20 to do in Vegas. This experience was so cool! We were able to do indoor (it was too hot!!) go karts and it was so much fun!! It lasted about 30 mins and you were able to go around i believe 20 laps. It wasn't many people here because we came kinda late, but boy! Did we enjoy ourselves. A time was had in Las Vegas last weekend. If you do decide to come, try them out. The workers were awesome, nice and knowledgeable. The place was clean, and fun. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Will return again! 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend

    Fun! Fun! Fun! We bought a Groupon. It was well worth it! My husband and nephew had so much fun racing each other. Place was clean and inviting. The staff was very friendly and welcoming! Thanks Gene Woods Racing we will return!

    Booked through Groupon no reservations needed. My husband and I had so much definitely recommend this competitive game. Like Ricky Bobby said " if you ain't first you're last " !!!

    We went on a whim for my partners birthday, and we used the Groupon. Thankfully we were the only ones there and had the whole track to ourselves. The staff were really nice and accommodating.

    This is so fun! We got so competitive and the team kept it going with helpful advice. They had no problem accommodating our large group and were super friendly and patient. The whole place was clean and the carts and track are in great shape. I will definitely be going back!!

Staff was incredible every step of the way, even helping us make final decisions on cars and number of laps, based on our interests, budget and past experiences. We raced the Ferrari 488 GT Evo and Lamborghini Huracan Technica (August) and Ferrari F8 Tributo (March). My instructor was SHAWN, who was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, expertly guiding me around the track with his verbal shifting and gas/brake cues. He even took the time with us after racing to talk about his racing journey and goals, as well as talking to our son about his love of racing. We also did the drifting experience for my wife and younger non-drivers in the party, and they had a blast being ripped around the track with tires screeching and smoking. Depending on whether or not there is a race (like Nascar) at the Vegas Speedway , Dream racing uses either their track inside the Speedway, or just outside, so there is opportunity to try two different tracks if you make separate visits. Plus, the nearby Air Force base provides entertainment as the fighter jets roar overhead while you race your exotic. As a bonus, Dream racing allow non-drivers to ride along during the driver's orientation laps, where an instructor shows you the course and braking/acceleration cues in a Lexus SUV, which was a fun bonus for those not driving to get a small taste of the track.

I usually select a Porsche because that's what I own so I don't have to familiarize myself with the controls and feel of the car. However, starting with a GT4RS was a mistake. My nickname as a motorcycle racer was "The Old, Slow Man". Equipped with semi-slicks, I was wasting the performance of the car with my tentative, senior citizen driving. I'd been faster in this model on a prior visit. I continued to struggle with turn 3 and for some reason I lost my feel for turn 10. Doing well on both are key to decent lap times. Alas, I finished my stint in the Porsche feeling down ... Is it true that the older you get, the slower you go? It seemed so to me. I waited a bit for a C8 to return to the pits, relaxing on a sofa, people watching. Sam was my pro in the C8, his style was more conducive to me turning better laps. He offered clear instructions, 3-2-1 BRAKE, turn in, 20% throttle, more throttle, give it the gas! As a result, I was seven seconds faster in the C8 than I was in the GT4RS. Sam told me I should have started with the C8, it's easier to drive. The next time, I will start with the C8 and move on to a more track-focused car. Lesson learned! The experience cost $801.90 for the two cars, $86.90 for the videos, and $100 in tips. Highly recommended!

Now, I know that the time you book won't be the exact start time, but I appreciate that they try to limit how many people can join a time slot. We waited maybe 15 minutes in line to check-in, then had our briefing. Staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. I will say, the karts don't have a reverse button, not that I could see. So when someone crashed into a barrier, they were stuck waiting for an employee to get them back on the track. I did like the screen display with my name and placement on the kart. Placement is based on best lap time. You can purchase your POV video for $10/race and it will be emailed to you. Overall, we had so much fun! I would recommend and we will be back. It's a convenient location for us too! The only reason I gave this place 4 & not 5 stars is because it is pricier. It was about $20-$35 more than racing with K1 (using a 2 race, 2 person experience as reference). We paid $143 for 2 races, 2 people. It was $65/person + $13 in taxes and fees. In comparison, K1 is $54/person + $7/person (annual "license") + $0 in taxes and fees. It would be $108 without the license, and $122 with the license. Even with the price difference, my preference is still Vegas SuperKarts. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

I also like doing new and different things. I've gone go-cart riding, I took a shooting lesson once, and I have gone sky diving. One thing I've always wanted to do was learn to drive a forklift so this sounded like my thing. I heard about this place while researching unique things to do in Vegas that didn't included gambling or the Casinos. Once I found there website I was excited to give them a try, but was undecided on which option to book. There were so many good ones. The idea of driving a bulldozer and another option to use an excavator and crush a car sounded exhilarating. I was a little nervous about finding a way to get there as they are so far out of the strip. I was worried that the LYFT driver wouldn't want to drive that far out of town to take us there or pick us up. They are located 20 minutes south of the Strip, which is a quick LYFT ride that costs under $40. And to be houses it can be the same amount of time to get around the strip and back to our hotel, the Rio which is off the strip at night when it's the busiest time and traffic is so heavy. The trip there is almost all freeway. I was a bit nervous when I found out you have to sign a waver not holding them liable if you get injured. The price of the big equipment is between $195- $320 ( Each sessions last between 45 to 90 minutes and range form age 8+ or16+) The most exhilarating one was $799 and you get to use an excavator to crush a car.. Now that sounded like the most fun. That's called the Aggression session and lasts 45 minutes. The age for this is 14+. Driving a bulldozer sounded fun too. Being so nervous I ended up booking the kid's dig. There you get to operate a 1.5 ton excavator. That seemed safer if they offered options for little kids and I mean little. Age 2+ can operate the excavator. Depending on their size they may have to sit on someone's lap. The kids dig is $29.50 for 15 minute increments. You can book multiple sessions. And for each session another person can be the operator. You can't split sessions between multiple people. Prior to booking I did call them and talked to Taylor I believe and she assured me as an adult without a child could partake in the Kids Dig. She assured me that other adults have done it and it's still a lot of fun. We went the last Sunday in May 2026. Our appointment was at Noon. I wanted to make sure I had enough time so I booked two 15 minute sessions. Having two sessions allowed us to each try it. My husband said he'd just watch and be my photographer, but I waned to give him the options too to try it out and he did and enjoyed it. Probably not as much as I did, but he had fun. Alex my instructor was amazing. He continued to yell out directions till I got the hang of it. I was doing it with another kid next to me and I felt Alex was really paying attention to me even though he was direction both of us. I was in heaven as I dug dirt out of the ground and created a giant hole. 15 minutes was plenty for time and I relinquished my second session to my husband. I had so much fun that I wanted to share the fun. I had trouble on my own remembering what to do so he continued to give me directions till I got the handle of it. I wonder how little kids so it as I was having difficulty remembering what to do. On the other hand kids play so many video games these days so they may be more used to this rhythm of movement. I highly reccomend this activity to everyone that is looking for something unique to do in Vegas. This was the highlight of my trip to Vegas. I'm so glad I overcame my fear of getting to and from Dig This. I felt very safe using the excavator. It's a little nerve wracking at first as you lean back a bit when you are digging. You really don't need the photo package as your companion can walk all around you and take pictures and videos. This only works if you are confident in their photography and videography skills. I had my doubts so I bought the photo package and I'm glad i did as Alex go a really good action shoot of me. And I'm a total photography lover. I like to capture the moment and I feel like the money is worth it not to miss the moment. When I went Sky diving I hired a photographer and videographer too and it was so worth it. The digital photo package with plaque is $67.93. If you just want the plaque it's $37.93. It's so much of a better deal to get the digital photo package as you get a minimum of 5 shots. We got 17 for the 2 sessions and that was of both my husband and myself. I was thrilled with Alex's photography skills and his ability to catch those action shots. If you have reservations do the Kid's dig. It's only $29.50 and have your companion take your picture and it's a total steal for all the fun you'll have.

They did share that I should get there 30 mins. before my scheduled time of 1:15-2:15 which I did. And then I and others waited and waited. The lady doing our check in alluded to the fact that they were short of staff that day. We had to do a training and safety session before the driving. Then there was another delay as they needed to get fuel into the cars. I was not even able to run the car until 3 pm! So they were at least 1 hour late or more. Then during my first run I accidentally pressed the brake (the fit inside a drag race car is extremely tight). I got chastised by a guy who turned out to be Doug Foley. He made me run the same distance again. After my 3rd run, I was forced to get out EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T RUN THE ¼ mile WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT of the program I paid for-that is why you drive a drag race car-it's all about the ¼ mile! They could have allowed me to do the final run-it would have taken just 5-10 more minutes-this is after all of the delays. The guy who was the trainer and the starter apologized and said I just needed call the toll free # and they would reschedule me in the future since I already paid. That made no sense-that could cost me another at least another 2-3 hours sometime in the future and who knows when this clown show would come back on tour in town! I asked to talk to who was in charge-Doug Foley. Frankly he was just rude and would not budge. In short, the whole situation was an utter fiasco. Customer service? This guy just didn't care. I reiterated that they were short of staff and running very, very late. He had no reaction at all-pathetic.
