How to Tour the Las Vegas Speedway

While most people visit Sin City looking to gamble, party and cut loose, Las Vegas offers so much more than casinos, resorts and nightclubs. Visitors to Las Vegas can enjoy beautiful desert sites--including Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam--away from the glitz and glam of the neon lights. Additional attractions such as the Atomic Testing Center and Las Vegas Motor Speedway give visitors other options for things to do and see in Las Vegas. Visitors can tour the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and experience a different side of the ritzy city.
