Don't leave without seeing the Auto collection in the Linq, I came back really surprised by all the stuff there.. I was with my buddies who would rather get drunk and be hitting on bartenders then do anything else..which was why I couldn't take a lot of pics.. but it's worth a look..

Off my head

4 Ford RS 200s

One rally prepped

Audi 200 quatro trans am

Lancia Lemans race car

Lancia 037

Jag xj 220

Rally MG metro setup for Pikes peak..

Lots of really cool Old cars...

And a bonus from the underground Ferrari service center in the Winn hotel and casino.. a Qvale Mangusta..

it's an awesome collection. They rotate stuff out too. I went in 2011 and they had an Italdesign Aztec, a tiger-hunting Rolls Royce, and a Bizzarrini prototype racer

It's awesome.

I was awestruck at the XJ220. I used to use that car all the time back playing Test Drive 4.

Having lived in Vegas for 3 years, I can say that I was a frequent visitor to that exhibit. Interesting that they got another RS200, I thought having 3 (2 standard, 1 Evo/race spec) was more than enough. The Lancia Group C car is pretty cool, too bad the Sauber Mercedes wasn't there to keep it company during your visit!

Wow that Aztec is awesome.. It wasn't there though.. The Tiger Hunting rolls is still there with all the hunting rifles in the back.. Pretty cool, had a funny snake thing in the front..

yes! I thought they had sold that at auction or something. The snake thing was the horn

The still have the Sauber Mercedes, but put it in another area in the Museum. Id agree they should have been put together..

If I remember, that Rolls did have a sold card on the windshield, but maybe was left there as an exhibit.. really wonder how much they pay to keep a car there..

Haha I had to go look it up, but sure enough I think I see what you're talking about! I'm there for a conference of much less interesting subject matter, unfortunately.

Hope you got your rooms booked before hand, it's not what I'd call cheap right now .Also if you do go to the Auto collection, speak to the concierge at the Linq they have passes that will get you in for free.

Is this the old museum from the Imperial Palace? They had the first RS200 I ever saw ( I have actually watched them run up pikes peak a few times now)

All booked up and it's on the firm's dime anyhow!

Thanks for the heads up, though, something to look forward to for my spare time other than sitting at the Blackjack tables.

We went in July on our honeymoon. They seem to rotate what cars are actually in the showroom. It was still cool.
