Default Found this in the parking garage in Vegas

I came out to my car this morning after spending 3 days in Vegas. Was parked in the Palazzo garage. Parked next to me was an Enzo Ferrari. Pretty darn cool.

Not so cool: It was 116 degrees when I drove in on Friday.

Living is Las Vegas it's amazing how many really expensive exotics you see all over town. Someone lives close to me and has a red Ferrari that he drives almost daily, not to mention the plethora of Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and others all over the place. In most cities you can go your whole life and never see any of these types of cars on the road, yet here they're a normal daily occurrence. A lot of people have a lot of money... And like to show it.

Take a cruise by Floyd Mayweather's house in Anthem. His cars are worth more than the house.

The Enzo for sale that is closest to me is $3 mil. Can you imagine parking such a car in a hotel lot?!? Note that the owner passed on valet parking....

They were very good parking spots though, weren't they? Took me a while to find them. My passengers have to be patient and put up with my parking, er, issues.

This car has quite a history behind it, search for Richard Losee Enzo.

Completely destroyed in an accident then put back together with a twin turbo setup, then set a Ferrari record at the Salt Flats in Utah going 238mph. The guy drives it everywhere, it has over 30k miles on it.

I was in Vegas a month ago and was actually pretty disappointed with the number of exotic cars I saw there over a two day period. Only one Lamborghini, one Ferrari, but a ton of Challengers and Chargers it seems (not counting them as exotics obviously) Whenever I'm in Florida, especially near Miami, I see at least 20-30 exotic cars per day there.

Amazed that some A hole in a smart car is not parked between them.

Cool shot. Interesting story on the Enzo.

I absolutely agree with all the high end cars you see in LAS. I go there often and being a car guy as we all are on this forum I look forward to getting into town and keeping an eye out for all the exotics around town. Of course along the strip at night, plenty of other "exotics" that are fun to "look at"

It depends on exactly where you were in Las Vegas. Certainly there are plenty of areas where you see nothing other than barely running crap. The strip is mostly made up of tourists rental cars and rental/exotics. You mostly find the exotics type of cars where people with money are living, such as the Red Rock Country Club area.

I spent 3-4 hours in Red Rock Canyon (and stopped off to check out Red Rock Resort that morning too) and spent a lot of time walking along the strip (we stayed at the Westin which is across from Bally's and very close to Bellagio, Caesar's Palace etc) I was quite surprised as I had expected to see just as many nice cars as I do on my Florida trips. I barely saw any C7s at all in Vegas, maybe 1 or 2. I typically see a few dozen a day in Florida.
