What's really sad is thinking about what my Z06 would look like sitting next to those cars. People would walk by and say things like " How the hell did that thing get in here".

I love my 'Vette, but I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't drooling!

I'm back home now...a little poorer than when I left but we had a great time.

I saw quite-a-few C6's on the road to Vegas and lots of nice cars running around Vegas itself. We ate at AJ's Steakhouse at the Hard Rock Hotel Saturday night and there were lots of incredible cars parked out front (including a Rolls-Royce Drophead which I've never seen before...what a car!).

Funny, I asked them the same question...the guy just smiled. I'm guessing they'll need your Dun and Bradstreet rating and pretty much a signed deal before they let you take the test drive. They also have a main dealership not far from the Venetian. This 'dealership' was more of a gallery but I'm sure they'll roll one out if you're really serious (and well qualified).

It was worth the $50 to go in. My sons especially enjoyed seeing the cars. None of us had ever seen a Veyron or a Spyker up-close and personal.

Yea right. It would be tempting to just once say "I'll take it" but fortunately my practical nature prevails. If they were asking an over-priced $299K for a slightly used F430 I can only imagine how over-priced the other cars were. Besides, I rather enjoy that my modified C6 will run with an F430 and I can run it on a road course without worrying to death about it. The salesman said he runs his Lambo regularly at Spring Mountain but I wouldn't feel right about tracking a $300K+ car...I'm not quite in that league.

I didn't make it there but the Wynn Hotel as a Ferrari dealership. I don't know if they have the tremendous variety of exotics that the Lambo dealership at the Venetian has but it might be worth seeing as well.

Ha! I like how the "budget" cars are roped off but they let you walk right up to the Veyron. Nice pics. I think even a ZR1 would fit in with that bunch. Looked like a good time.

wow...nice cars...being in a vegas hotel I wonder what the dealership premium mark up is? Ya know they are selling to the very wealthy and lucky jackpot hitters....bet when a jackpot hitter buys one of those rides there has a HUGE premium over what they would pay at a Lambo or Ferrari delaership somewhere else other than Vegas or Atlantic City and such places....there is a sucker born every minute...pt barnum
