Exotics Racing Las Vegas

So I'm going to be in Vegas for business at the end of July. I've never been and I have the option of taking extra time after business concludes for myself for a day or two.

I have enough Hilton points for hotel to not really be an issue and I'm really looking seriously at this:

If I do it I'll either go the economy route with 10 Laps in a Porsche Cayman R for $349 or 7 laps in a GTR for $449; OR I will go the dream route and take a McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, or....or..... too many choices!

Has anyone done this before? What was it like? I love the fact that you get a ride along in a Cayenne with the lead instructor and then in-car instruction during the laps. I've never been on a track and this seems like an awesome way to start.

I'd just need to budget for the rest of my free time in Vegas

I was actually checking out the McLaren in the Crystal Mall, you know while I'll picking up some Gucci and LV swag (jk). I think its not worth it, but that McLaren almost makes me to want change my mind.

I would never opt for the GTR in reality. It's a mega awesome car and it performs amazingly BUT too many reveiwers have likened it to operating the car rather than DRIVING it due to all the computers and, while I know it's a whole nother level, I feel as though having owned an Evo I've had that AWD-Turbo-computer-directed-point-the-car-where-you-want-it-to-go-and-it-will-sort-it-out experience already.

I didn't end up going to Vegas but some others had been and seemed to enjoy it.
