2025 Las Vegas Concours: A New Reigning Champ? The world of concours d’elegance is a rarefied one, populated by some of the most beautiful and valuable automobiles ever created. For decades, Pebble Beach has reigned supreme, a pilgrimage for enthusiasts and collectors alike. Yet, the automotive landscape is shifting, and with it, the hierarchy of premier supercar events. It’s time to ask a question that may seem sacrilegious to some: Is Pebble Beach being dethroned? And if so, by whom? The answer, increasingly, is The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. The Challenge to the Throne The standard definition of a concours d’elegance is a show or contest of vehicles judged primarily on excellence of appearance and quality. Over time, however, the concept has evolved, attracting a diverse array of attendees. From the vintage allure of Goodwood Revival and Amelia Island to the avant-garde displays at Moda Miami and Retromobile, these events have become pillars of the global automotive scene. Yet, when the well-heeled and well-dressed gather to marvel at the most exceptional cars on the planet, one question persistently arises: Is Pebble Beach still the undisputed king? The truth is, Pebble Beach holds a special place in the hearts of many collectors. It remains the pinnacle of vintage craftsmanship and automotive history. However, the heir apparent to Pebble’s legacy might not be who you think. The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, long considered a prime appetizer to Pebble, is facing a serious challenger: The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. For a growing segment of the automotive world, The Quail has already faded into the rearview mirror. These are the individuals who worship at the altar of late-model, brand-new supercars and hypercars. How many friends have made the pilgrimage to Car Week only to depart on Sunday morning, uninterested in “a bunch of old cars”? Furthermore, the demise of the Geneva International Auto Show left a massive void in the supercar calendar. The Quail valiantly tried to fill that gap, but Las Vegas has shown it can do better. Take for example, the automotive debut landscape. The Lamborghini Aventador made its first official appearance at Geneva in 2011, followed by the highly coveted Veneno in 2013. While the Aventador’s successor, the Revuelto, debuted online, the Temerario (Huracán’s replacement) made its first public reveal at The Quail in 2024. Even more stunning, the seven-figure Fenomeno debuted at The Quail in 2025. Bugatti unveiled the Chiron in Geneva in 2016, but the Divo (2018) and Mistral (2022) were both revealed to the world at The Quail. This pattern extends to dozens of other marques, establishing The Quail as the premier platform for the unveiling of modern performance machines. Until this past Halloween, I believed The Quail’s dominance was secure. Then I attended The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. Attending the 2024 Vegas Concours, I found it somewhat provincial, a regional affair with some impressive but standard offerings. Had it not been for a project with Czinger, I might not have attended this year. But let me tell you, I am incredibly glad I went. The Unexpected Spectacle The sheer scale of The 2025 Las Vegas Concours was staggering. The Wynn had 48 Bugatti Veyrons on display. Yes, you read that correctly. Out of the 450 Veyrons ever built, and the 100 sold in North America, 48 were in Vegas. Add a beautiful white Vitesse Super Sport celebrating the Veyron’s 20th anniversary, along with a Bolide, Centodieci, Chiron Super Sport, Divo, Mistral, and a model of the forthcoming 18-cylinder hybrid Tourbillon. Displaying more than 10% of all Bugatti Veyrons in one location left my head spinning. The Pagani Paradise The kids like Pagani, too, yeah? Because there were more than 40 of them. I didn’t get the exact number (I was too busy drooling over the Veyrons) but there were several Zondas including a Zonda Revolution (one of five), dozens of Huayras, a bunch of Utopias, and—worryingly for The Quail—the debut of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster Pagani plans to make 10 of at a price of $7,000,000 each before tax and tariffs, if you’re interested. (The minty green one that was in Vegas under the covers belongs to Apple’s Tim Cook.) Even if these carbo-titanium extroverts aren’t your thing, the fact that not only was The 2025 Las Vegas Concours the largest Pagani gathering ever to happen in North America, but also that Horatio Pagani (who was honored onstage by emcee Justin Bell for his contributions to car design) and his team chose to introduce a car there says something. More on that in a bit. Back to more than 40 Paganis: That’s a larger number of cars than the factory produces in a year. The Lamborghini Legend The Lamborghini section was just as mind-blowing if you’re into these sorts of vehicles. First off, The 2025 Wynn Vegas Concours was the largest gathering of Lambos ever. Yes, ever. Again, I didn’t count, but the number being bandied was about 230. That’s 230 of the 600 cars present that Saturday. Simply mind-blowing. Of those 230, there was a Veneno Coupe (one of three ever sold to the public; the factory kept a fourth one), 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) together in the same place was at the factory’s museum. It was a flabbergasting display of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal/composites. The Unrivaled Collection In an attempt at brevity, I’m leaving out all 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 and insane Pebble Beach Concours-winning 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer 26/120/180 that won prewar best of show here, too), the HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. Yeah, that’s one hell of a car show. What Could Possibly Be Next? Two threads of conversation kept coming my way when I stopped and chatted with fellow Wynn Vegas Concours attendees. The big question: “How the hell are they going to top this next year?” No clue, but godspeed to the Wynn. The other and frankly far more intriguing query kept coming from the OEM carmakers: “Should we even bother doing The Quail next year?” Good question. Perhaps I should say godspeed to The Quail, too. The Accessibility Gap Things you may not know about The Quail: A single ticket cost $1,300 last year. That’s $1,300 as a courtesy if you’ve attended in the past (“legacy ticket holders,” I think they call ’em). It was $1,600 for first-time attendees. Yes, that’s expensive, but it costs OEMs about $400,000 to put a car on a show stand there. For six hours. The Vegas Concours charges about 1/20 of that. And if you want to attend, tickets are $100 a pop. That’s about $2 per Veyron. I spoke to three different carmakers that openly questioned the need to ever attend The Quail again. Perhaps, they mused, Las Vegas and Moda Miami are enough? Moreover, for attendees, you won’t be paying heart-attack-inducing prices for hotels (a friend stayed at a motel near Pebble that was $1,100 a night, five-night minimum), nor running around from event to event in soul-crushing traffic. Also, making dinner reservations is easy because Las Vegas is literally built for big gatherings. The above might sound far-fetched, but just a few years ago Geneva was the center of the supercar world. I can’t predict the future, but I can assure you The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas is now on my must-attend list. You should stick it on yours, too.
