What sports car to rent and where to drive around Vegas? - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I've got a company "party" trip to Vegas next month, and the wife and I were thinking about renting a sports/exotic and going for a nice day drive around the Vegas area. Anybody got any suggestions on where to drive, I'm guessing around Lake Mead, anywhere else, or any specific roads?

Also, opinions on what car to play with:
Lotus Elise: $188/day
Porsche Cayman S: $295/day
C6 Vert: $188/day
C6 Z06: $445/day
Viper GTS: $379/day
Ferrari 348 Spider: $550/day

I'm seriously thinking the Elise, Viper GTS, or Cayman S. I've owned a C5 Z06, so the Vettes aren't really that big of a draw for me, and while I'd love to drive a Ferrari, the 348 is a little old and $550/day is kind of expensive (and the other Ferraris and Lambos are just insanely outrageous ($1,000+/day)). We might even do two cars so we could trade off during the day, so maybe the Elise and the Viper?
We figure we'd get a lot more fun out of something like this than blowing the same amount of money in a Casino. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've always wanted a Viper GTS, so this would be a great way to try one out and see if I'd really want one. Since I've never been out there, I was definitely thinking Hoover Dam would be cool.
