NASCAR Entertainment Center

The NASCAR Entertainment Center at the Sahara Hotel offers a view into the pit, with a number of thrill rides and dining experiences tailored after NASCAR. Race in a replica Daytona 500 rally at the hotel's large and realistic virtual track, or strap yourself into a roller coaster for the jaunting speeds, twists and turns of Speed - The Ride.
