Enjoy Stock Car Racing Excitement With NASCAR Las Vegas Travel Packages

By Claudine Hodges


NASCAR is a rapidly growing spectator sport that caters to millions of stock car racing fans all around the world. Every year fans have a chance to travel to Las Vegas Motor Speedway to see their favorite drivers in action on a 1.5-mile track. Many find the most convenient way to enjoy their favorite sport is to book one of the many NASCAR Las Vegas travel packages made available by various travel agencies.

The excitement of NASCAR racing taking place in one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world is a combination that many people find difficult to pass up. Guests can travel to Vegas in March when the Speedway hosts NASCAR's two top national touring divisions. The other option is to visit in September when the Truck Series drivers take their turn to compete.

The March weekend is traditionally more popular with race fans, so visitors should expect bigger crowds swarming over the speedway grounds. Race weekend in September is less crowded giving fans a chance to experience racing at a slightly less hectic pace. Typically mild temperatures make this a great time of year to enjoy outdoor activities in Southern Nevada.

Race fans arriving from out of state will want to select a package that includes a round trip flight to McCarran International Airport. The airport's location offers easy access to major freeways and is just a few minutes from the world famous Strip. Limousines, taxicabs, buses and other public transportation options are located just steps away from the baggage claim area of the terminal. All car rental companies do business out of a facility adjacent to the airport and provide free transportation for customers.

Accommodations in Vegas range from strictly functional to over the top opulent. Guests can find suitable rooms in every price range and most have easy access to the speedway. Many budget hotels off-strip offer discounts for extended stay guests.

NASCAR race activities during March take place over three days with qualifying for both racing divisions taking place on Friday, one race on Saturday, and one race on Sunday. Fans may attend one, two, or all three days. Many travel packages include tickets for prime seats in the frontstretch grandstands. Some travel operators can secure VIP passes for access to luxury suites.

The Neon Garage is a special area in the infield that is unique to the speedway in Vegas. This is a place where the fans can view the cars as the crews are working on them. A stage in the open area plays host to local bands for performances throughout the weekend. Other activities include interactive vendor displays and autograph sessions featuring the drivers.

Individuals coming to Las Vegas for race weekend have the opportunity to enjoy many different types of entertainment when they are not at the race track. Travel operators can schedule other activities according to the client's wishes. Options include tickets for one of the major production shows at a Strip resort, VIP passes into one of the city's world famous nightclubs, and access to other activities and attractions.
