Supercar Rental in Vegas, who's done it?
Discussion
I took the Corvette ZHZ out of McCarran (Hertz) back in 2010.
My mate took the Camaro.
We thrashed both through the southwest, around the Grand Canyon and through California. Fun was having the hood down, just about to go over the Golden Gate when the USAF Thunderbirds display team decided to low-level the traffic. That sure concentrates your eyes on the white lines.
Once, we pulled up and decided to tool around somewhere near Flagstaff. There was a dusty side of the road with nothing else for miles. I wanted to do donuts. However I didn't realise that the shack that was being peppered with stones from the rear wheels was someone's home. Out came an Iggy Pop looking guy: "JEESSUUSSS H CHRIST BOYYYY WHATTYA GODAAMMM PLAYING AT!!!!!!"
He ran back in to get a shotgun and we got out of there. Fast. No joke.
Picking up from one state and dropping at another can be a hassle, and not sure if they relented on that policy when it came to the 'Fun' collection.
When staying at the MGM I once asked concierge about Lamborghini hire, but IMHO it wasn't/isn't worth it.
I'm off to Bermuda this month, but I'm doing a quick stopover in the States, and have a Dodge Challenger and a Camaro SS on standby from Avis and Hertz. Just in case one or the other let me down at the counter. Being Gold whatever and Preferred doesn't seem to count for a lot anymore.

I rented a Corvette there for a week and did a write up here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Go for it!

I rented an older Corvette Z06 from a place on The Strip that may have been called Dream Cars, it was all straight forward and the daily mileage allowance got us to the Hoover Dam and back via the scenic route (fire canyon?)
We pulled over bu a rock formation and a car that was parked with a Winnibago left at the same time as us, not sure exactly what it was but I think it was a quick Cadillac saloon, he eas giving this car PLENTY of stick and we stuck with him without a problem until I saw a very sharp hump in the road ahead, I hit the brakes because the Corvette's chin had already been catching on everything, but he didn't lift, brake or anything, if anything he changed down and floored it because we saw daylight under his wheels, we looked at each other and both pointed at him without saying anything, after tailing him for a while longer he peeled off at ghe Las Vegas Motor Speedway exit!
The car hire place we VERY keen to rent me a 360 (with huge chrome wheels) or an Elise, I jad tp explain that I wanted itter American cheese!
They were alsp very keen on measuring tyre tread depth before and after taking the car!

had a viper and corvette from dream car rentals ...no problems or overcharging etc
id prob point you towards hertz if a vette/camaro/challenger will do
I was worried about overcharging with them because the place looks ripe for tourists doesn't it, but it didn't happen to me and it was all very easy!id prob point you towards hertz if a vette/camaro/challenger will do
I probably would have taken the Viper too but it was incredibly windy!
Rented a Lamborghini Gallardo LP-570 Spyder in Vegas last month, had an incredible 24 hours.
If you want a proper supercar look no further then Vegas Luxury Rides. Well priced (it's not cheap, but they're the cheapest supercar rental company in Vegas) and the service is impeccable.
Honestly can't recommend them enough.
Here's some pics!
