Spent 3 days in Vegas several years ago and got my fill. Not a gambler, just a gawker, I actually remember the museums best. Now I'm going back for a friend's birthday and I'm cool with the trip. My GF likes to gamble a little, there'll 3-4 couples I actually like and we party well together.
So!
I've always said "If I ever go back there, I'm renting a Shelby Cobra [replica] and taking a high speed blast out to Hoover dam."
With the opportunity looming close, I'm curious and thinking about logistics. Has anyone here ever done it? I know it's obscenely expensive, and I'm prepared for that.
Good with speed - I ride fast motorcycles and I've driven muscle/performance cars. I think the Cobra with open side pipes and that ridiculous power/weight/noise ratio would be a hoot for a day - even at less than wide open throttle (I've no desire to see if the rollbar works).
What would bum me out is sitting in a traffic jam rumbling forward, one car-length at a time, along with 1000's of other tourists all heading for the same damn dam. Is this a do-able mission in that toy? Maybe some other destination would be better for blowing the wax out of my ears?
Open to ideas and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
