NASCAR Cafe, adjacent to Sahara Hotel Casino, has one of the best thrill rides in all of Vegas--Speed The Ride. Blasting off from stalled to over 70 miles per hour in just seconds, going under ground, looping, and shooting up on the vertical inclination track is a thrill. A one-time ride pass was $10, but we purchased the all-day pass for only $13 and ended up riding it at least 10 times one day. The food in the restaurant is nothing special, but the environment is decorated with authentic NASCAR parts. When I was there they had one of the NASCAR cars driven by Dale Earnhardt, Jr. They also have a NASCAR simulation ride which was hard when I was younger because the controls feel like they would be if you were actually driving at over 200mph.
