If you’re searching for a lively, adrenaline-pumping activity during your Las Vegas visit, the Euro High-Speed Go Kart Race at the Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix offers a surprisingly affordable and exciting option. Priced at $29 per person for a 1 to 2-hour experience, this activity combines speed, competition, and arcade fun—all set on the city’s longest track and with safety gear included. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, seeking a unique date night, or simply craving a break from the usual Vegas glitz, this tour packs a lot of entertainment into a compact package.
Two things stand out for us. First, the speed—karts can reach up to 47 mph, which is faster than many other go-kart experiences, making it a genuine thrill for novice and experienced drivers alike. Second, the arcade credits add extra value, giving you a chance to unwind with some classic or modern games after racing. On the flip side, a minor detail to consider is the waiver requirement and strict safety rules—not a problem for most, but worth noting if you’re traveling with very young or tall/large participants. This experience is well-suited for adventure seekers of all ages 14 and up who want a fun, competitive break from the Strip’s usual attractions.

The Race: Speed, Skill, and Friendly Competition
Once suited up with helmets and headsocks (both provided), you’ll sign a waiver—an essential safety protocol. The race is open to participants 14 years and older, and you’ll need to be at least 60 inches tall and under 268 lbs.

Many reviewers highlight the exhilaration of racing the fastest karts in Vegas, with one noting, “The karts are new, fast, and well-maintained—I felt like a race car driver.” The competition aspect is friendly, perfect for families or groups looking to challenge each other for the best lap time.
Arcade & Refreshments: More Than Just Racing

There’s also a large fountain drink included, making it easy to stay refreshed during your visit. Keep in mind, a $3 game card activation fee applies when redeeming arcade credits, which is a small extra.
