You might think of Las Vegas as the gambling capital of the world, and not with classic cars. However, one of the hidden treasures of the strip is the Las Vegas Car Museum at the Palazzo Hotel & Casino. The museum has over 200 cars, ranging from classic American models from the '50s and '60s, to the latest sports cars from manufacturers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini. This is a must see attraction for any petrolhead.

One of the greatest features of the museum is the vast range of cars from different eras. The classic American models from the '50s and '60s have always been an interest around here. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a '56 Chevy Bel Air Coupe in cherry red, which looks absolutely stunning. There are also some great Chevy Impalas, which represent what 1960's American cars were all about.

There are a number of cars from the '80s too that you must see at the museum. These include an '87 Rolls-Royce Phantom, as well as an '89 Ferrari Testarossa. It's amazing how dated these cars look when you compare them to the latest supercars in the museum, such as the 2008 Ferrari 430 and Lamborghini Gallardo.

The museum covers all types of classic cars, and there are a number of other vehicles worth checking out, not least the 2004 Hummer H1 and 2009 Nissan GT-R. There are also a couple of great motorbikes on show, including a Ducati 848 and 2005 Ridley Auto Glide.

As you'd expect from Vegas, the museum pulls out all the stops to provide you the complete entertainment experience, and you are allowed a short test drive in a couple of the vehicles if you opt for the VIP package. However, this is pricey so you might need to get lucky on the many slots games in Vegas to be able to afford it! The crazy thing about this museum is that it never lets you forget you are in Vegas, with slot machines available to play 24/7 in the corner of the showroom.
