Default Back from Las Vegas!!

Holy crap guys, this was a lot of fun and I've got tons of pics. So, what I'm going to do is pic drop a few "highlight" a few at a time here on MCF (I have 37 total set aside for MCF).

First, my wife gave me a HUGE surprise (early B-Day gift, my B-Day is in July)! She signed us up for the Exotic Racing attraction. We got to drive an exotic car of our choice (from what they have available) for 5 laps on a large race course! Then if that was NOT awesome enough, she signed us up to go for a ride with a professional racer who takes people around the course in a Z06 Vette, drifting the course, high speed thrills!! ALL AWESOME!!
My wife drove a Ferrari (unfortunately, I don't remember what model) and I got to take a Lamborghini Gullardo (I would have taken a Diablo, but it was not an option there). All cars were paddle shift (I was hoping for stick shift, but hey, I got to drive a REAL LAMBOGHINI!!).

To avoid a LONG drawn out thread, here's the high light list of what we did:
- Exotic Racing
- Shelby Museum (it was small and across the street from the Exotic Racing, my wife being a Mustang fan, we had to go there)
- Tournament of Kings (dinner theater, similar to Medieval Times)
- Steel Panther at House of Blues
- prop-comic Carrot Top
- Marc Savard, hypnosis comedy
- magician Chris Angle
- Blue Man Group
- Over head light/video show on Fremont Street
- Volcano at the Mirage
- Water Show at the Belagio
- Pirate Show at Treasure Island
And LOTS of walking around!!!

BTW - I don't know which batch of pics I will post it in, but I have a few of me wearing a Monte Carlo t-shirt with the Monte Carlo hotel/casino behind me!

I was going to assume a California, but yeah it does look like a 430.

What were the car options??? I see some Porsches, I would LOVE to get to drive a 911 GT2
