Came here for a bachelor party weekend. Go karting is clean, sober way to keep busy during the day, especially if you're in Vegas when it's too cold to sit out at the pools all day. You do need most of your faculties on this one, so don't come in hungover, like some of our guys did.\n\nA group package (~$65 each) gives you two races; a time trial that sets your position, and a straight up race. They let you borrow a head sock so you don't sweat up the reused helmets. They let you watch a short safety video, but you're soon jumping into the seat of your own car. There isn't too much tutorial so you're pretty much learning on the fly, even if it's your first time in a go kart. They give you a few laps to roll at cruising speed before turning on your karts power. I won't go into driving tips but be mindful of the workers with the flags. If you see a blue/yellow flag, move over so that faster karts can pass you, this way you'll avoid getting slammed into on the numerous hairpin turns.\n\nOne of our guys was too aggressive in his bumping (not allowed!) and crashed under the plastic barriers, 'causing them to stop the race. He was warned, but not disqualified. He ended up with some deep scratches along his arm and hands where the barrier scraped him, so needless to say, it's not something you should be doing.\n\nLastly, the crew are pretty friendly, and if you check in on Facebook, you can get a free can of Monster energy drink!
