The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas: A Global Supercar Phenomenon For decades, the global automotive scene has been dominated by a few marquee events that define the cutting edge of automotive design, technology, and collector culture. When the topic of “better than Pebble Beach” arises, the conversation typically revolves around the titans of the industry: the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Goodwood Revival, Amelia Island, Moda Miami, and Retromobile. These events, each offering a unique blend of heritage and futurism, have long stood as the pillars of the concours world. And yet, in the grand tapestry of automotive gatherings, Pebble Beach still holds the undisputed crown as the benchmark for automotive perfection. However, a new contender has emerged to challenge its throne, one that is fast redefining what the modern supercar event should look like. For years, The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering has served as the dynamic appetizer to the main event at Pebble Beach. It’s a showcase for the new breed of automotive innovation, a haven for those who worship at the altar of modern performance and cutting-edge design. In fact, for an increasing faction of the car community, The Quail has long since surpassed the Pebble Beach Concours. These aficionados are deeply passionate about late-model, brand-new supercars and hypercars. Countless car enthusiasts who make the pilgrimage to Monterey Car Week often skip Sunday’s concours, having no interest in “a bunch of old cars.” The demise of the Geneva International Auto Show has left a gaping hole in the supercar calendar, a void that The Quail has filled with spectacular effect. Consider the evidence: The Lamborghini Aventador made its grand debut at Geneva in 2011, and the jaw-dropping Veneno followed in 2013. Even the successor to the Aventador, the Revuelto, was technically unveiled online. However, the Temerario, the much-anticipated replacement for the Huracán, made its world debut at The Quail in 2024. This same distinction belongs to the seven-figure Fenomeno, which debuted at The Quail in 2025. Bugatti launched the Chiron in Geneva in 2016, yet the Bugatti Divo (2018) and Mistral (2022) were both unveiled to the world at The Quail. This pattern holds true for dozens of other marques as well, cementing The Quail’s reputation as the premier launchpad for the world’s most exclusive hypercars. Until this past Halloween, I believed The Quail’s position 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 I am no longer so sure. I must preface this by saying that I also attended the 2024 Vegas Concours, and while I enjoyed myself, it felt provincial and regional. The cars were impressive, but they were the usual suspects. In fact, if it weren’t for a project I was working on with Czinger (which sponsored my attendance), I likely wouldn’t have made the trip this year. But I am incredibly glad I went. The Spectacle of the Strip The Wynn hosted 48 Bugatti Veyrons this year—and you read that correctly. Of the 450 total Veyrons ever built and the 100 sold in North America, a staggering 48 were present in Las Vegas. Actually, it was 49, as Bugatti brought a stunning white Vitesse Super Sport to commemorate the Veyron’s 20th anniversary, alongside a Bolide, Centodieci, Chiron Super Sport, Divo, Mistral, and a model of the forthcoming Tourbillon, the 18-cylinder hybrid poised to replace the Chiron. Displaying more than 10 percent of all the Bugatti Veyrons ever manufactured in one location left me completely mesmerized. The new generation of collectors also gravitates towards Paganis, and Vegas delivered in spades. The exact number wasn’t confirmed, but there were well over 40 Paganis present, including several Zondas—notably a Zonda Revolution, one of only five ever made. There were also dozens of Huayras, numerous Utopias, and, concerningly for The Quail, the world debut of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster. Pagani plans to produce only ten of these, at a cool price tag of $7 million each, before taxes and tariffs. (The mint-green example showcased in Vegas under a cover belongs to Apple’s Tim Cook, incidentally.) Even if these carbo-titanium extroverts aren’t your cup of tea, the fact that the 2025 Las Vegas Concours hosted not only the largest gathering of Paganis in North America but also saw Horacio Pagani—who was honored on stage by emcee Justin Bell for his contributions to automotive design—choose this venue to introduce a new car speaks volumes. More on that in a moment. To circle back to the more than 40 Paganis: that’s more vehicles than the factory produces in an entire year. The Lamborghini section was equally breathtaking for anyone interested in this lineage of vehicles. First and foremost, the 2025 Wynn Las Vegas Concours was the largest gathering of Lamborghinis ever. Yes, ever. I didn’t count, but the figure being bandied about was around 230. That’s 230 of the 600 cars displayed that Saturday. Simply mind-blowing. Among these, there was a Veneno Coupe (one of only three ever sold to the public, with the factory retaining a fourth), a Sesto Elemento (one of ten), a Centenario coupe (one of 20) and convertible (also 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’s museum. It was a spectacular display of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal and composites. In the spirit of brevity, I am omitting the mention of 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 also took home the best pre-war award here), the HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. Just a few mentions from the list of judged cars could fill the entire magazine. It was, without a doubt, one hell of a car show. Where Do We Go From Here? Two recurring themes dominated my conversations with fellow attendees at the Wynn Vegas Concours. The first big question was, \”How in the world 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, query kept coming from the OEM carmakers: \\\”Should we even bother with The Quail next year?\\\” A valid question. Perhaps, I mused, I should also wish The Quail the best of luck. Here are a few things you may not know about The Quail: A single ticket cost $1,300 last year. That’s the discounted rate for “legacy ticket holders,” as they’re called. For first-time attendees, the price was $1,600. Yes, that’s 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 amount. And if you want to attend, tickets are only $100 apiece. That equates to about $2 per Veyron. I spoke with three different car manufacturers who openly questioned the necessity of ever attending The Quail again. They mused, perhaps the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas and Moda Miami are all that’s needed now. Furthermore, for attendees, you won’t be dealing with heart-stopping hotel prices—a friend of mine stayed at a motel near Pebble that was $1,100 a night, with a five-night minimum—nor navigating soul-crushing traffic as you dash between events. Plus, making dinner reservations is effortless because Las Vegas is literally designed to host massive gatherings. The notion that the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas might supplant The Quail as the premier supercar show might sound far-fetched, but 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 as well.
