I would make the pilgrimage from Florida for that. Although it would probably cost less to fly to Deutschland from here and rent a car than to drive from here to LV.

It makes a lot of sense to put it in NV, but I wish they plopped it in the center of the US for all of us to have a chance of driving to it.

kansas or oklahoma would be perfect, but nevada has just about the same weather all the time unlike most of the US

I'd think you'd have a better chance of driving to NV, than flying and renting a car in Germany. I guess unless you lived in AK or HI.

Would be so awesome.. But Nevada!? Wish it were farther north. Nothing like being on a racetrack in 120 degree dead sunlight.

Might be were cars go to die...

yeah, I wonder what is considered in scope for an exact recreation. In typical Vegas style that is everything that surrounds said object. So, how do you recreate a lush forest in the desert? The thought of this does excite me. Why do they have to make an exact replica though? Why can't we make a similar Ring like Large track in the US? Not an exact replica.
