The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas: A New Apex for Automotive Superstars For years, the standard definition of “concours d’elegance” has been a show or contest of vehicles and accessories primarily judged on excellence of appearance and turnout. Once you enter the world of high-end automobiles, one question always surfaces: Is this or that show better than the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours? The latter, of course, usually refers to the entire annual Monterey Car Week, a sprawling series of events centered around the main event at Pebble proper. Combined, these gatherings form a luxurious spectacle of all things four-wheeled and expensive, culminating on Sunday with what many consider the pinnacle of concours d’elegance. However, people often ask: Is the Goodwood Festival of Speed superior to Pebble? What about the Goodwood Revival, Amelia Island, Moda Miami, or Retromobile? The Audrain? Wherever the well-heeled and discerning crowd gathers to admire blue-chip automobiles, someone invariably wants to know if Pebble still holds the top spot. Here is the unvarnished truth: Pebble Beach remains the undisputed king of the concours. However, the heir apparent, the proper contender to Pebble’s throne—The Quail—may soon face a formidable challenger from the bright lights of Las Vegas. Why The Quail? The Quail (formally known as The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering) has always been an incredible appetizer to the main course that is Sunday’s Pebble Concours. In fact, for a certain and growing segment of the automotive world, The Quail has long since eclipsed Pebble’s Sunday event. These enthusiasts are often enthusiasts of late-model/brand-new supercars and hypercars. I’ve lost count of the number of friends who make the trek to Car Week but depart Sunday morning, having no interest in “a bunch of old cars.” Moreover, the demise of the Geneva International Auto Show left a significant void in the supercar calendar, a void The Quail has filled quite nicely. Let me offer a few examples. The Lamborghini Aventador debuted at Geneva in 2011, and the ultra-exclusive Veneno was unveiled there in 2013. The Aventador’s successor—the Revuelto—made its official public entrance via an online reveal, but the Temerario (the Huracán’s successor) was first shown at The Quail in 2024. The same is true for the seven-figure Fenomeno, which debuted at the 2025 Quail. Bugatti unveiled the Chiron in Geneva in 2016; however, the Bugatti Divo (2018) and Mistral (2022) were both first shown to the world at The Quail. This pattern holds true for dozens of other cars as well. In short, The Quail has evolved into the premier global stage for these types of vehicles. Until this past Halloween, I believed The Quail’s position in the global automotive hierarchy was unassailable. Then I attended the 2025 Las Vegas Concours (officially known as Concours at Wynn Las Vegas), and now I am not so sure. I should mention that I also attended the 2024 Vegas Concours and, while I enjoyed myself, it felt provincial and regional. There were some excellent cars, but mostly the usual suspects. In fact, if it weren’t for a project I was working on with Czinger (which brought me along as its guest), I likely wouldn’t have bothered attending this year. But man, am I glad I did. What Is It? The Wynn showcased 48 Bugatti Veyrons this year. You read that correctly. Of the 450 total Veyrons built and the 100 sold in North America, 48 were in Vegas. Actually, 49, as Bugatti displayed a stunning white Vitesse Super Sport to celebrate the Veyron’s 20th anniversary—along with a Bolide, Centodieci, Chiron Super Sport, Divo, Mistral, and a model of the upcoming Tourbillon, the 18-cylinder hybrid set to replace the Chiron. But displaying, in one location, more than 10 percent of all the Bugatti Veyrons ever produced has my head still spinning. The younger generation appreciates Paganis, too, right? Because there were more than 40 of them. I didn’t get the precise 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, a model Pagani plans to produce at 10 units each, priced at $7,000,000 before taxes and tariffs, if you are interested. (The mint green one that was in Vegas under cover belongs to Apple’s Tim Cook.) Even if these flamboyant carbon-titanium machines are not your preference, the fact that the 2025 Las Vegas Concours was not only the largest Pagani gathering ever to occur 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 new car there says something. More on that in a moment. Returning to the more than 40 Paganis: That’s a larger quantity of cars than the factory produces in a single year. The Lamborghini display was equally astonishing if you appreciate these types of vehicles. First off, the 2025 Wynn Vegas Concours was the largest gathering of Lamborghinis ever. Yes, ever. Again, I didn’t count, but the reported number was around 230. That’s 230 out of the 600 cars present that Saturday. Simply mind-blowing. 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 ten), 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 location was at the factory’s museum. It was a flabbergasting display of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal and composite materials. To be concise, I will skip 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 there, too), the HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. Yes, that’s one hell of a car show. What Could Possibly Be Next? Two conversation threads kept recurring when I stopped to chat with fellow Wynn Vegas Concours attendees. The major question was: “How on earth will they top this next year?” No clue, but godspeed to the Wynn. The other, and frankly far more intriguing, query came from the OEM carmakers: “Should we even bother attending The Quail next year?” A valid question. Perhaps I should also offer godspeed to The Quail. Here are a few facts you may not know about The Quail: A single ticket cost $1,300 last year. That’s $1,300 as a courtesy if you have attended in the past (“legacy ticket holders,” I believe they call them). It cost $1,600 for first-time attendees. Yes, that is expensive, but it costs OEMs about $400,000 to put a car on display there. For six hours. The Vegas Concours charges about 1/20th of that. And if you want to attend, tickets are $100 each. 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 sufficient? Moreover, for attendees, you won’t be paying heart-attack-inducing prices for accommodation (a friend stayed at a motel near Pebble that was $1,100 a night, minimum five nights), nor struggling through soul-crushing traffic between events. Also, making dinner reservations is easy because Las Vegas is literally built for large gatherings. While this may sound far-fetched, just a few years ago, Geneva was the epicenter 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. You should add it to yours, too.
