The Supercar Spectacle at Wynn: Has Las Vegas Overtaken The Quail? Watch out, The Quail, because The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas has taken a massive step into the big time. By Jonny Lieberman December 31, 2025 For those immersed in the high-stakes world of luxury automobiles, the annual question inevitably arises: which automotive event truly holds the crown? While Pebble Beach, as the pinnacle of the Monterey Car Week, remains the ultimate benchmark for traditional concours d’elegance—the “show or contest of vehicles and accessories in which the entries are judged chiefly on excellence of appearance and turnout”—the landscape is shifting. Enthusiasts often debate whether the Goodwood Festival of Speed or the Goodwood Revival surpasses Pebble, or if events like Amelia Island, Moda Miami, or Retromobile eclipse it. Indeed, wherever the elite gather to admire blue-chip automobiles, the question persists: Is Pebble Beach still king? The truth is, Pebble Beach still reigns supreme as the definitive concours. However, its heir apparent, The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, now faces a formidable challenger in the Las Vegas Strip. The Ascendancy of The Quail For years, The Quail served as the thrilling appetizer before the main event: the Pebble Beach Concours on Sunday. Yet, for a growing segment of the automotive community, The Quail has long since eclipsed Pebble’s Sunday showcase. This demographic typically favors late-model and cutting-edge hypercars and supercars. I’ve lost count of how many friends make the pilgrimage to Car Week only to depart Sunday morning, uninterested in older vehicles. Furthermore, the discontinuation of the Geneva International Motor Show created a massive void in the supercar calendar, a gap that The Quail has filled exceptionally well. Consider the evidence. The Lamborghini Aventador debuted at Geneva in 2011, followed by the highly exclusive Veneno in 2013. Lamborghini’s successor to the Aventador, the Revuelto, was unveiled online. However, the Temerario, the Huracán’s replacement, made its global debut at The Quail in 2024. The same holds true for the seven-figure Fenomeno, which premiered at the 2025 Quail. Bugatti unveiled the Chiron in Geneva in 2016, but the Chiron Divo (2018) and Mistral (2022) were both introduced to the world at The Quail. This pattern extends to countless other manufacturers. In essence, The Quail has become the premier global venue for these types of automobiles. Until last Halloween, I considered The Quail’s dominance in the automotive hierarchy secure. Then I attended the 2025 Las Vegas Concours (officially the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas), and I am no longer sure. It’s important to note that I attended the 2024 Vegas Concours and, while enjoyable, it felt provincial. There were some excellent cars, but largely the usual suspects. In fact, were it not for a project I was working on with Czinger—which brought me as their guest—I might not have attended this year. But man, am I glad I did. What Defines the Vegas Concours? The Wynn hosted 48 Bugatti Veyrons this year. Yes, you read that correctly. Of the 450 Veyrons ever built, and the 100 sold in North America, 48 were in Vegas. Actually, 49, as Bugatti brought a stunning white Vitesse Super Sport to commemorate the Veyron’s 20th anniversary. They also displayed a Bolide, Centodieci, Chiron Super Sport, Divo, Mistral, and a model of the forthcoming 18-cylinder hybrid tourbillon that will succeed the Chiron. Displaying over 10% of all Bugatti Veyrons ever built in one location is absolutely staggering. Children enjoy Paganis, right? 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 collection of Utopias, and—worryingly for The Quail—the debut of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster Pagani plans to produce 10 units, each priced at $7,000,000 before taxes and tariffs, if you’re interested. (The mint green model that was under covers in Vegas belongs to Apple’s Tim Cook.) Even if these extravagant carbon-titanium machines aren’t your preference, the fact that the 2025 Las Vegas Concours wasn’t just the largest Pagani gathering 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 speaks volumes. More on that later. Back to the 40+ Paganis: That’s more cars than the factory produces in an entire year. The Lamborghini display was equally awe-inspiring for those who appreciate these types of vehicles. To begin with, the 2025 Wynn Vegas Concours hosted the largest gathering of Lamborghinis ever. Yes, ever. Again, I didn’t count, but the consensus estimate was around 230. That’s 230 of the 600 cars present that Saturday. Simply mind-blowing. Among these 230 were a Veneno Coupe (one of three publicly sold; 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 these “few-offs” (as Lamborghini calls them) together in the same place was at the factory’s museum. It was a flabbergasting display of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal and composite materials. To keep this concise, I am leaving out 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, which also won best of show in the prewar category here), the HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. Yes, that’s one hell of a car show. What’s Next? Two conversations kept resurfacing when I chatted with fellow Wynn Vegas Concours attendees. The first, big question was: “How the hell are they going to top this next year?” No clue, but Godspeed to the Wynn. The second, and frankly more intriguing, question repeatedly came from the OEM manufacturers: “Should we even bother doing The Quail next year?” A fair question. Perhaps I should wish Godspeed to The Quail, too. Things you may not know about The Quail: A single ticket cost $1,300 last year. That’s $1,300 for “legacy ticket holders,” as they seem to be called. First-time attendees paid $1,600. Yes, it’s expensive, but it costs OEMs roughly $400,000 to put a car on a stand there. For six hours. The Vegas Concours charges about 1/20 of that. If you want to attend, tickets are $100 each. That’s about $2 per Veyron. I spoke to three different carmakers who openly questioned the need to ever attend The Quail again. Perhaps, they mused, Las Vegas and Moda Miami are enough? Furthermore, attendees won’t have to shell out heart-attack-inducing prices for hotels (a friend stayed at a motel near Pebble that cost $1,100 a night, with a five-night minimum), nor will they be trapped in soul-crushing traffic. Plus, making dinner reservations is easy because Las Vegas is literally built for massive gatherings. While this might sound far-fetched, just a few years ago, Geneva was the center of the supercar world. I can’t 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.
