2012 Lexus LFA Road Trip: Vegas. It's Dumb. But We're Here

And there's no shortage of visuals. We lit up the strip for a time tonight. But in the end there's nothing to do in town in one of the world's fastest cars.

Still, the weirdest part was yet to come. After a massive miscalcuation by one nameless Internet travel site, our crew of five (yes, we bring photographers along) found ourselves in the 12,600-square-foot Conrad Suite in the Las Vegas Hilton. So it is here, 29 (and 30) floors above the valley floor, that we find ourselves retiring for the evening -- pool and all. It's gawdy, but, really, would you mind?

Only Hollywood could outdo this adventure. And that would require Mike Tyson and a tiger. But there is no VIP parking. So we took matters into our own hands.

What a waste of time, going to Vegas when you could be waking up at a racetrack.

I feel weird about this. I love cars, but is anyone else already tired of seeing about 27 posts about this car in a day and a half?

A proper suite for driving a baller car.

-Hahaha, great protection...
-Sure because it will make the car thief to choose the other LFAs in the lot without the steering wheel bracket...oh wait, that's the only one. Perhaps in the entire US...

Holy cow, I thought that 12,600 square footage was a typo! My house is almost 2000 sq ft, and it feels too big for my three-person family! lol

That suite is mind-blowing! It's pretty much a mansion sitting 30 stories above Las Vegas. Talk about some luck!

Funny video, I laughed out loud in the middle of my office, haha.

Wow, the LFA seems to bestow unbelievable luck on all who touch it. I'm having a great week even apart from my getting to drive it. Shoot, now I do think it is worth $375,000, if it comes standard with good luck charms, apparently.

It's a good thing that you didn't announce to everyone on the internets where you are staying. Oh wait.
