Concours at Wynn Las Vegas: A Supercar Spectacle to Rival The Quail For car enthusiasts, the world of high-end automotive events is often defined by a few titans: Pebble Beach, The Quail, Goodwood, and Amelia Island. These are the pillars of the concours d’elegance, the gatherings where the world’s rarest and most significant vehicles convene to be judged and admired. The standard definition of “concours d’elegance” is a show or contest of vehicles and accessories where entries are judged chiefly on their appearance and presentation. However, in the realm of modern collecting, this definition has been stretched to encompass more than just vintage classics. The Shifting Landscape of Automotive Celebrations The annual Monterey Car Week, culminating in the legendary Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, has long been regarded as the pinnacle of the car world. Yet, the automotive landscape is constantly evolving. As new generations of enthusiasts enter the hobby, their focus shifts towards cutting-edge hypercars and high-performance machines, leaving older generations wondering if the traditional concours is still the main attraction. For decades, The Quail, formally known as The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, has served as the premier appetizer to the main event. However, a growing segment of car enthusiasts believes that The Quail has long since surpassed Pebble Beach in relevance. These enthusiasts are drawn to late-model and brand-new supercars, and The Quail has effectively filled the void left by the defunct Geneva International Auto Show, which was once the epicenter of supercar reveals. Examples abound. The Lamborghini Aventador made its debut at Geneva in 2011, followed by the Veneno in 2013. The Aventador’s successor, the Revuelto, was introduced via an online unveiling, but the Huracán successor, the Temerario, premiered at The Quail in 2024. Similarly, the $7 million dollar Fenomeno made its first appearance at The Quail in 2025. Bugatti unveiled the Chiron in Geneva in 2016, but the Divo (2018) and Mistral (2022) were both premiered at The Quail. Many other brands have followed suit, establishing The Quail as the premier venue for showcasing cutting-edge hypercars. The Rise of the Las Vegas Concours Until recently, The Quail’s standing as the top supercar showcase seemed secure. However, the 2025 Las Vegas Concours, officially known as Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, has emerged as a serious contender. Last year’s Vegas Concours was enjoyable but struck me as rather regional. While there were some impressive cars, they were largely the usual suspects. I likely would not have attended this year without the invitation from Czinger, as I was working on a project with them. However, I’m glad I went, as I saw something that may have shifted the balance of power in the automotive world. An Unprecedented Gathering of Supercars The sheer scale and quality of the vehicles present at the 2025 Las Vegas Concours are almost incomprehensible. The event hosted 48 Bugatti Veyrons on the lawn, a staggering number. Of the 450 Veyrons built globally and the 100 sold in North America, 48 were present in Vegas. Bugatti also brought a stunning white Vitesse Super Sport to commemorate the Veyron’s 20th anniversary, along with a Bolide, Centodieci, Chiron Super Sport, Divo, Mistral, and a model of the upcoming 18-cylinder hybrid Tourbillon. Displaying more than 10 percent of all Bugatti Veyrons ever built in one location is a feat that has my head still spinning. Paganis, particularly favored by younger enthusiasts, were also out in full force. While I didn’t get an exact count, there were over 40 Paganis in attendance. This included several Zondas, among them a Zonda Revolution (one of five), dozens of Huayras, a variety of Utopias, and—significantly for The Quail—the debut of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster, a limited-production model Pagani plans to produce in only 10 units at a price of $7 million each before taxes and tariffs. The mint green prototype in Vegas belonged to Apple’s Tim Cook. Even if these flamboyant, carbon-fiber marvels aren’t your cup of tea, the fact that the 2025 Las Vegas Concours hosted the largest Pagani gathering ever in North America, and that Horatio Pagani (honored onstage by emcee Justin Bell for his contributions to car design) and his team chose to unveil a new model there, says a lot. The Lamborghini display was equally mind-blowing for those who appreciate these Italian automotive masterpieces. The 2025 Wynn Vegas Concours marked the largest gathering of Lamborghinis in history. Again, I didn’t get an exact count, but the number being discussed was around 230, out of a total of 600 cars present that Saturday. Simply stunning. Among these 230 vehicles were a Veneno Coupe (one of only three sold to the public, the factory retaining a fourth), a Sesto Elemento (one of 10), a Centenario Coupe (one of 20), a Centenario Convertible (one of 20), and a Reventón (one of 21). The last time I witnessed all these “few-offs,” as Lamborghini now calls them, together in the same place was at the factory’s museum—an unforgettable display of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal and composites. While I am trying to keep this brief, I must mention some of the other incredible cars on display. There were numerous Koenigseggs, the Gumpert Apollo, and several Czingers, as well as the Nilu and the McLaren Project Endurance race car debut. Among the cars that were actually judged was a former Pebble Beach Concours winner, a stunning 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer 26/120/180 that took home the Prewar Best of Show award. The event also featured the HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. Simply put, it was one heck of a car show. What Could Possibly Be Next? Two themes dominated the conversations among the attendees. The first, and most commonly asked question, was: “How in the world are they going to top this next year?” I have no idea, but the Wynn has its work cut out for them. The second and far more intriguing question came from the OEMs: “Should we even bother attending The Quail next year?” It’s a valid question. Perhaps we should also wish The Quail good luck. Some things you may not know about The Quail: A single ticket cost $1,300 last year for returning guests (labeled “legacy ticket holders,” I believe). The price for first-time attendees was $1,600. Yes, it’s expensive, but OEMs spend about $400,000 to put a car on a stand there—for six hours! The Vegas Concours charges about one-twentieth of that. Tickets for attendees are just $100. That’s about $2 per Veyron. I spoke with three different carmakers who openly questioned the necessity of ever attending The Quail again. Perhaps, they mused, Las Vegas and Moda Miami are enough? Moreover, attendees won’t face heart-attack-inducing hotel prices (a friend stayed at a motel near Pebble that cost $1,100 a night, with a five-night minimum), nor will they be stuck in soul-crushing traffic while rushing from one event to another. Dinner reservations are also easy to secure, as Las Vegas is literally built to handle large gatherings. What I witnessed in Las Vegas may seem far-fetched, but just a few years ago, Geneva was the center of the supercar world. I cannot predict the future, but I can assure you that the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas is now on my must-attend list. I urge you to put it on yours as well.
