The Wynn Las Vegas Concours: A New King of Supercar Shows The term “concours d’elegance” traditionally refers to a showcase or competition for vehicles and accessories judged primarily on their aesthetic excellence and presentation. For enthusiasts immersed in the world of luxury automobiles, the question of which event surpasses the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours inevitably arises. This is often understood to encompass the entire annual Monterey Car Week, a sprawling collection of high-end automotive events culminating on the final Sunday with what many regard as the pinnacle of concours d’elegance competitions. Nonetheless, the discussion extends beyond this singular event, raising comparisons with other notable gatherings such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival, Amelia Island, Moda Miami, and Retromobile. Wherever the elite, well-dressed crowd gathers to admire blue-chip automobiles, the question of whether Pebble Beach remains the undisputed leader often resurfaces. In truth, Pebble Beach continues to hold the top position in the concours hierarchy. However, its potential successor—the formidable challenger to the throne—may well be The Quail, a name now rivaled by the burgeoning success of the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. Why The Quail Is No Longer Unchallenged For years, The Quail, officially known as The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, served as the perfect prelude to the main event: Sunday’s Pebble Concours. In fact, for a significant and growing segment of the automotive community, The Quail has long surpassed the importance of Sunday’s Pebble event. These enthusiasts are particularly drawn to late-model and brand-new supercars and hypercars. I have lost count of the number of car friends who travel to Car Week but depart on Sunday morning, having no interest in viewing “a bunch of old cars.” Furthermore, the closure of the Geneva International Auto Show left a void in the supercar calendar, a gap that The Quail has admirably filled. Several examples illustrate this shift. The Lamborghini Aventador made its debut in Geneva in 2011, and the ultra-exclusive Veneno debuted in 2013. The successor to the Aventador, the Revuelto, was officially unveiled online, but the Temerario (the Huracán’s replacement) had its first public viewing at The Quail in 2024. The same holds true for the seven-figure Fenomeno, which debuted at The Quail in 2025. Bugatti unveiled the Chiron in Geneva in 2016; however, both the Divo (2018) and the Mistral (2022) were first shown to the world at The Quail. This pattern extends to dozens of other vehicles. In essence, The Quail has solidified its position as the premier global venue for these types of machines. Up until this past Halloween, I believed The Quail’s standing in the global automotive hierarchy was secure. Then I attended the 2025 Las Vegas Concours, officially known as the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, and now I am far less certain. I should mention that I also attended the 2024 Vegas Concours, and while I enjoyed it, it struck me as a local or perhaps provincial event. There were some impressive cars, but they were largely the usual suspects. In fact, if not for a project I was working on with Czinger (which had invited me as a guest), I probably would not have attended this year. However, I am incredibly grateful that I did. A Spectacle of Unprecedented Scale The Wynn hosted an astonishing 48 Bugatti Veyrons on its lawns this year. That’s right: out of the 450 Veyrons ever produced and the 100 sold in North America, 48 were present in Vegas. Well, 49 if you include the breathtaking white Vitesse Super Sport that Bugatti brought to celebrate the Veyron’s 20th anniversary, alongside a Bolide, a Centodieci, a Chiron Super Sport, a Divo, a Mistral, and a model of the upcoming Tourbillon, the 18-cylinder hybrid that will succeed the Chiron. Displaying more than 10 percent of all Bugatti Veyrons ever built in one location has left my head spinning. Today’s car enthusiasts also favor Paganis, right? Because there were more than 40 of them. I didn’t get the exact number (I was too distracted by the Veyrons), but there were several Zondas, including a Zonda Revolution (one of five), dozens of Huayras, a bunch of Utopias, and—troubling for The Quail—the debut of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster, which Pagani plans to build in a limited run of 10 at a price of $7 million each before taxes and tariffs, should you be interested. (The mint-green prototype that was under cover in Vegas belongs to Apple’s Tim Cook.) Even if these flamboyant carbon-titanium machines aren’t your cup of tea, the fact that the 2025 Las Vegas Concours was not only the largest gathering of Paganis in North America’s history but also the venue chosen by Horatio Pagani (who was honored onstage by emcee Justin Bell for his contributions to automotive design) and his team to introduce a new car speaks volumes. More on that later. Returning to the topic of more than 40 Paganis: that is a larger number of cars than the factory produces in an entire year. The Lamborghini section was equally mind-blowing for those who appreciate these kinds of vehicles. To begin with, the 2025 Wynn Las Vegas Concours marked the largest gathering of Lamborghinis in history. Yes, ever. Again, I didn’t count, but the general estimate was around 230. That accounts for 230 of the 600 cars present that Saturday. Simply staggering. Of those 230, there was a Veneno Coupe (one of only three ever sold to the public; the factory retained a fourth), a Sesto Elemento (one of 10), a Centenario coupe (one of 20) and convertible (one of 20), and a Reventón (one of 21). The last time I saw all those “few-offs” (as Lamborghini now calls them) gathered in one place was at the factory museum. It was a breathtaking display of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal and composites. To keep this account brief, I am omitting details about the Koenigseggs, the Gumpert Apollo, the Czingers, the Nilu, the McLaren Project Endurance race car debut, all the cars that were actually judged (including a former, insane Pebble Beach Concours-winning 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer 26/120/180 that won the prewar best of show award here as well), the HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. Yes, that constitutes one hell of a car show. What Could Possibly Come Next? Two topics dominated the conversations I had with fellow attendees at the Wynn Vegas Concours. The first was the big question: \”How on earth are they going to top this next year?\” I have no idea, but I wish the Wynn the best of luck. The second, and frankly far more intriguing, question that repeatedly came up from OEM automakers was: \”Should we even bother attending The Quail next year?\” That’s a fair question. Perhaps I should also wish The Quail the best of luck. Here are some facts you might not know about The Quail: A single ticket cost $1,300 last year. This was the discounted rate offered as a courtesy to past attendees (they call them \”legacy ticket holders,\” I believe). For first-time attendees, the price was $1,600. Yes, that is expensive, but it costs OEMs roughly $400,000 to display a car on a show stand there. For only six hours of exhibition time. The Vegas Concours charges approximately one-twentieth of that amount. And if you want to attend, tickets cost $100 each. That’s about $2 per Veyron on display. I spoke with three different car manufacturers who openly questioned the need to ever attend The Quail again. Perhaps, they mused, Las Vegas and Moda Miami are sufficient? Moreover, for attendees, you won’t be facing heart-attack-inducing hotel prices (a friend stayed in a motel near Pebble that was $1,100 per night with a five-night minimum), nor dealing with soul-crushing traffic while running from one event to another. Additionally, making dinner reservations is easy because Las Vegas is literally built to handle large gatherings. While this may sound far-fetched to some, Geneva was the epicenter of the supercar world just a few years ago. I cannot predict the future, but I can assure you that the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas is now a must-attend event on my calendar. You should add it to yours, too.
