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)

My wife and I drove down to Hoover Dam (and took the Dam Tour (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), and then went up to the Valley of Fire (state park) all in the same day - in a Mitsubishi Spyder. It was dog a$$ slow, but with the top down and the a/c going (in May) - who cared. 75 mph speed limits were a bonus.

Last time I was there (2007), they were building a bridge over the river - so that you could bypass the dam bridge. If that is finished, it should be an awesome view.

Most of those specialty places have mileage limits (free miles), so keep that in mind when renting.

They're still working on the bridge, but it's definitely something cool to see! My vote is for the viper, hoping it's not completely torn up like they say (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
