i did this a few months back, it was a nice experience. the track is challenging especially for us average joe's who are not race car drivers, you can't too fast since there was an instructor inside the car with you. i actually got yelled at for going to hard on the car at first and also missed a turn when i lost my concentration on my 4th lap. we left the car on automatic since i was not familiar with paddle shift, also i couldn't concentrate on all the turns and bends and tried to shift gears at the same time. being the complete amateur, i was not at all familiar with the track, may have missed the apex on multiple occasions. if i had to do it over again, i woudl try the car on race mode and go at it again.
I drove a gallardo there, probably the fastest around the track, a tad over 550 hp, even faster than the scuderia. They didn't have the 458 a few months back, might be worth checking out again when i go back to vegas in march. the lambo handles on rails, the suspension is very stiff, v10 sound is music to my ears, and the brakes are very balanced! you will love it.
have fun, im sure you will have a blast!

if i were to improve my driving, i rather have a fast but not super fast car, and focus more on doing the best i can with that car on the track

Man those 5 laps will be gone in no time lol 
During the Lexus event I got lucky and got to lap the ISF for 6 laps instead of the 3 everyone else had, and I didn't get to pick up and get into a comfortable pace until lap 5 >.>

I'll start by saying WOW! All of these cars are amazing. I'll post up my impressions of them each when I get back home....still having fun in Vegas until tomorrow night.
In the order I drove them:
GT-R....what a beast!...incredible bang for the buck!

Next up was the Murcielago. Incredible power....but the car is freakin' huge....very easy to lose control of quickly if you don't respect it....another driver put it into a full spin out of turn 1.

The rest of the cars:
(The Z06 is just available for a drift show ride along....they go through anywhere from 1-3 sets of tires...per day! Notice the tread marks....leaving the garage! )
There was also a 911 Carrera S that I missed getting a pic of.
