A Quiet Las Vegas Afternoon Spent In The Imperial Palace Classic Auto Collection

Slot machines, poker tables, blackjack, dancing girls, a 1932 Rolls-Royce Phantom II. That’s Vegas right?

Maybe you still have 2 hours to kill before your flight, or maybe you just went bust-o. Who knows, well, you do. If you’re looking for a sanctuary among the glitz and glammer of Sin City, stop by the Imperial Palace - located next to Harrah’s and across the street from Caesars Palace - and check out the Imperial Palace Classic Auto Collection.

It’s the largest collection of it’s kind in the world and is a relatively quiet spot among all the excitement. The collection is on the fifth floor at Imperial Palace - on your way back there, pick up one of the free “to do” magazines available everywhere and you’ll probably find a coupon for free admission to the collection - otherwise, it’s only going to set you back $6.95 (Free Admission Coupon) to get in. Relatively cheap when things like Bodies or The Titanic Exhibit are around $20 bucks to get in.

No matter what kind of car you like, the Auto Collection has it. They have indy pace cars, rebuilt muscle cars from the seventies, cars used in movies, and just plain rare and expensive cars. You’ll find all the Ford’s and Chevy’s you can shake a stick at, as well as exotic car lines you might never heard of, or simply never seen including: Packard, Rolls-Royce, Duesenberg, Hispano-Suiza, Talbot Lago, Bentley, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bugatti, Cadillac, Delahaye, Delage, Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Horch, Isotta Fraschini, Pierce Arrow, Minerva, and many more.

Do you remember Herbie the Love Bug? Well, 3 of the bugs driven by Lindsey Lohan and used in “Herbie: Fully Loaded” sit on the showroom floor. Or perhaps you want to see the original Cooper Mini that Charlize Theron drove in “The Italian Job,” it can be seen with a monitor sitting next to it playing clips from the movie. Or for you speed freaks - the Ford Mustang Fastback used in “The Fast and the Furious” can be seen as well.

Some of the cars are one of a kind customs with intricate bodywork and details that are all original. Many of the cars are rebuilt - some were just well kept, and some, were never driven at all. There’s one VW Beetle from the 60’s that the owner parked in a barn, left the window sticker still on it, and now it sits in the showroom with 50 original miles on it.

One of the neat things about the collection is that it’s not only a collection to show off - it’s a collection that’s for sale. Perhaps you have an extra $35,000 to spend on a ‘67 Chevy SS Camaro, or maybe your rich uncle just died and left you an extra 5 million dollars to spend on one of the Phantoms. Whatever your fancy, if you fancy a classic car - you can buy it here and drive it off the collection floor.

Whatever your purpose, the auto collection at Imperial Palace is always quiet and stunning. Stop by to relax but be prepared to see some vehicles that will simply blow your socks off.
