Which car should I rent while in Vegas? Porsche, Viper, Ferrari, Bentley?



So yesterday I was bored out of my mind just waiting for time to pass by before I had to go to work... and I got to thinking, man, I need a vacation. So suddenly I decided I would not just go to work next week, and instead go to Vegas.

I have a few things on my list that I would like to do, and want to live a baller lifestyle for 5 days while im there while not breaking the bank. I figured three of those days, I would rent some form of semi-exotic vehicle and enjoy myself.

Here are my few considerations. Cars with a '*' asterisks by the name, are confirmed to rent at my age of 22.

Cars:

-Porsche Cayman S $349 per day or $750 three day special
-Pre 2003 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe $299ish
-Post 2003 Dodge Viper RT10 or Coupe $450
-Ferrari 348 Spyder $550
*-Lotus Elise $249


SUV's

*-Hummer H1 $209 per day
*-Hummer H2 $159 per day
*-Range Rover Sport $349 per day


Higher End Cars - Some exotic rental agencies require you to be 25, I am 22 so would cause an issue, although I havent checked with them all.

-Bentley Continental GT $750 per day
-2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S Convertible $450 per day

I also heard about a 'Super Car Tour' deal, where you can supposedly pay $800 or so to drive 5 exotics in one day... including the Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 360 or 430, Aston Martin Vanquish, Viper, Lotus Elise, or whatever you choose. If anyone has any more information on this, please let me know!

Having a tough decision here. I prefferably would like to stick with a sports car. Has anyone had any experiences you can share with exotic rentals and what the process is like? I know some places mentioned a deposit, but I saw the deposits were as low as $150. I also know of there being between $15-25 surcharges for being under $25, which im ok with.

Anyhow, let me know. Thanks.

Gamble and drink. Hookers if the gamble part doesn't go well. If you take a cab to a strip club, don't let the driver talk you in to taking you to some some **** hole with no cover but a 3 $10 drink minimum with seventeenth rate girls that whine instead of strip....memories, haha.

Have you ever been to Vegas?

If you're staying on the strip, you don't need a car at all.
