Go Karting in Nevada
Discover premier karting circuits around Nevada.
Nevada’s karting scene is dominated by the entertainment capital of the world. Las Vegas offers some of the most impressive rental fleets in the country, catering to tourists who want a "supercar" experience on a smaller scale. Meanwhile, up north in Reno, the focus shifts to high-tech indoor racing that keeps the action going year-round, regardless of the desert heat or winter chill.
The heavyweight champion of Las Vegas karting is Vegas Superkarts (at SpeedVegas). Located just south of the Strip, this is the longest and fastest outdoor go-kart track in the city. It runs a fleet of high-performance Sodi RT10 gas karts with 270cc Honda engines on a massive track designed by professional drivers. It is a true motorsport experience, sharing grounds with supercar driving experiences.
For those who prefer to stay indoors (and out of the blistering sun), K1 Speed Las Vegas is the top choice. Located just off the Strip, it offers a consistent, high-speed electric racing experience in a fully air-conditioned facility. It is perfect for groups who want a break from the casinos to compete in a safe, controlled environment.
In Reno, Need 2 Speed is the premier destination. It is an indoor electric karting facility featuring high-torque karts that are clean, fast, and feature a "blacklight" racing atmosphere. It serves as the hub for Northern Nevada's serious racers and casual enthusiasts alike.
Tourist Options:
- Gene Woods Racing Experience: A classic Las Vegas attraction featuring outdoor gas karts on a banked track. It is known for its "old school" racing vibe and convenient location for tourists.
- Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix: A family-oriented park with multiple tracks suitable for younger children and casual fun, distinct from the high-speed adult tracks.
